There are many filters in your engine, some dealing with liquids and others for gases. Your cabin and engine air filters have similar roles but perform them in different places.
Usually tucked behind your glove box, the cabin air filter makes riding in the car more enjoyable. Pollen, strong odors, dust, and other contaminants get filtered out before the air enters the cabin for you to breathe.
Located near the intake manifold at the front of your engine, the engine air filter cleans the air entering your engine, removing dust and other harmful contaminants that can clog various components and reduce performance. Both kinds of filters require regular maintenance and replacement to avoid problems with fuel economy and emissions in the engine and comfort in the cabin. How dusty the air in your area is can radically change how often you need to replace your filters, but for typical drivers in an area with fairly clean air, it can be every two years or so.
