The engine air filter protects the diesel intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).
On a turbo-diesel, restriction can feel like laggy acceleration or increased soot. In the cabin, a clogged filter often causes noisy fans with reduced airflow and lingering odors. Seasonal road salt dust and spring pollen in Central Massachusetts can accelerate clogging.
