2017 Chrysler 300 Air Filter

The engine air filter on the 2017 Chrysler 300 is located in the engine compartment inside the airbox at the front of the engine bay.

Open the hood and look for the rectangular or square plastic airbox that feeds the intake tract; the element sits inside that housing. Technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy inspect the airbox seal and housing for damage or obstructions during replacement to ensure proper engine breathing while commuting on I-15 or local canyon routes.

• Typical access: unclip or unscrew the airbox cover
• Technician inspects intake hose and clamps for leaks
• Airbox location minimizes water ingestion but still collects road dust

The cabin air filter for the 2017 Chrysler 300 is located behind the glove box or under the dash in the HVAC intake area.

Access usually requires lowering the glove box or removing a small trim panel to reach the filter housing; the service team inspects the cabin filter for pollen, dust, and road debris that affect HVAC airflow. In Sandy’s seasonal pollen and dust cycles, a clogged cabin filter can reduce comfort for families heading to local attractions like The Shops at South Town or the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium.

• Common access: glove-box drop or glove-box liner removal
• Inspect for leaves, pollen, and road dust buildup
• Replacement restores HVAC airflow and reduces odors

The engine air filter protects the engine intake from dust and debris, while the cabin air filter cleans incoming air for passengers and the HVAC system.

The engine air filter helps preserve combustion efficiency and protects components like the MAF sensor; the cabin filter prevents pollen, dust, and odors from entering the passenger compartment. Service at our Sandy location includes a visual inspection of both systems so you get targeted replacement only when necessary for performance or comfort.

• Engine filter: protects combustion and sensors
• Cabin filter: improves passenger air quality and HVAC flow
• Both filters affect comfort and component longevity in Utah climate

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel efficiency, rough idle, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors in the cabin.

If you notice sluggish acceleration on highway ramps or less-than-expected miles per gallon, the engine intake may be restricted. Inside the cabin, reduced vent airflow or persistent dust and odors indicate a saturated cabin filter. Our technicians in Sandy evaluate these symptoms and confirm whether filter replacement resolves the issue.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, hesitation, rough idle
• Cabin symptoms: weak vents, odors, increased dust inside car
• Technician inspection isolates filters from other causes like MAF or vacuum leaks

The engine air filter is often DIY-friendly on a 2017 Chrysler 300, while the cabin filter can require glove-box or trim removal and hands-on inspection best done by a service technician.

Many owners can change the engine element with basic tools and a short how-to, but the cabin filter housing can be less accessible and may need careful reassembly to avoid rattles. At our Sandy service center we also inspect the intake housing and MAF sensor during replacement—services that many DIY jobs skip.

• Engine filter: typically simple clips or screws to remove
• Cabin filter: may require glove-box lowering and trim handling
• Dealer service includes intake and MAF visual check plus proper disposal

Check and replace the engine air filter based on the vehicle owner’s manual and driving conditions; Sandy’s dusty roads and seasonal pollen may require more frequent checks.

Factory recommendations vary by driving conditions, so we advise inspection at regular service intervals and sooner if you drive in dusty or high-pollen environments common to the Salt Lake Valley. Our technicians will document the filter condition and recommend replacement only when the element shows significant contamination.

• Inspect during routine oil/service visits
• Replace sooner if frequently driving canyon or gravel roads
• Technician notes filter condition in work order for future tracking

Have the cabin air filter inspected regularly and replaced as needed, especially during high-pollen seasons and after heavy road dust exposure in Sandy and surrounding areas.

Cabin filter life depends on local air quality and driving habits; families who commute through areas with seasonal pollen or construction may see faster loading. Our service team evaluates the cabin filter during HVAC checks and recommends replacement when the filter reduces airflow or shows visible contamination.

• Check during HVAC service or scheduled maintenance
• Replace after heavy pollen seasons or dusty driving conditions
• Replacement restores airflow and reduces in-cabin allergens

Service advisors at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy confirm the factory-recommended filter type for each 2017 Chrysler 300 during the appointment.

During your visit the advisor will note whether a factory OEM part or an equivalent OEM-spec filter is appropriate and include that in the up-front estimate. This ensures the replacement matches the vehicle’s intake and HVAC requirements and keeps documentation consistent for any future warranty or service records.

• Advisor verifies the correct part during check-in
• Estimate reflects the chosen filter type and labor
• Work order documents the part used for future service history

The 2017 Chrysler 300 uses a dedicated engine air filter in the engine intake airbox and a separate cabin air filter in the HVAC intake behind the glove box. The engine filter protects the 3.6L V6 (3,604 cc) intake and components such as the MAF sensor from road dust and debris; the cabin filter protects occupants from pollen and particulate matter. Common maintenance callouts for this vehicle include visual element saturation and dust loading after frequent canyon trips or driving on salted winter roads.

Technicians inspect the intake housing and MAF sensor during service to identify leaks or oil-contaminated elements. Bring your 2017 Chrysler 300 to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
