10 common questions answered
where is the engine air filter located on a 2010 dodge challenger?
The engine air filter on a 2010 Dodge Challenger sits inside the plastic airbox in the engine bay, forward of the 3.5L V6 intake.
On the 2010 Dodge Challenger the airbox houses the replaceable engine intake filter and is accessible from the engine compartment without removing major trim. At our Sandy service center technicians remove the airbox cover to inspect the element for dust and degradation from regional road conditions.

- Accessible from above—no major disassembly for inspection.

where is the cabin air filter on a 2010 dodge challenger located?
The cabin air filter on a 2010 Dodge Challenger is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.
Accessing the cabin filter typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the HVAC intake door. Our Sandy technicians confirm the fit and orientation of the replacement filter and clear any collected leaves or pollen from the intake area common after seasonal storms or high‑pollen weeks in the Salt Lake Valley.
- Accessed from behind or beneath the glove box of the passenger compartment.
- Replacement often requires glove box lower‑down or trim removal.

what's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2010 dodge challenger?
The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 3.5L V6; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger HVAC system.
For the 2010 Dodge Challenger the engine filter protects the throttle body, intake valves and mass‑air sensor from dust and grit, supporting power and economy. The cabin filter protects occupants from pollen, dust and road debris and helps maintain HVAC airflow and in‑car comfort during seasonal pollen peaks in Sandy and neighboring communities.
- Engine filter = protects engine breathing and fuel‑air mixture components.
- Cabin filter = protects passenger air quality and HVAC performance.
- Both filters are serviced separately and have different access points.
what are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2010 dodge challenger?
Common signs include reduced engine power or acceleration, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
In Sandy’s mix of paved and sometimes dusty roads, a 2010 Dodge Challenger can accumulate debris that shows up as sluggish throttle response or increased fuel use when the engine intake is restricted. Cabin filter clogging often presents as reduced vent flow, lingering odors, or increased dust on interior surfaces after dusty commutes.
- Engine symptoms: reduced acceleration, rough idle, decreased MPG.
- Cabin symptoms: weak airflow, odors, visible dust on vents.
- Technicians inspect both intake and HVAC system to isolate the cause.
