2020 Chrysler Pacifica Air Filter in Sandy, UT

The engine air filter is located inside the engine bay, seated in the intake airbox on the 3.6L V6 intake system.

On the 3.6L V6 used in this Pacifica, the intake airbox holds the replaceable engine air filter and is accessible from the top of the engine bay. Technicians visually confirm the housing clips and inspect the intake tract for debris, which is important given Sandy’s occasional dusty conditions.

• Located in the intake airbox inside the engine bay
• Accessible by opening the hood and removing airbox clips or screws
• Technicians inspect the intake housing and clamp seals during replacement

The cabin air filter is mounted behind the glove box inside the HVAC housing.

Accessing the cabin filter typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the HVAC access panel. Our technicians check the filter slot and surrounding drain passages for leaves and road grit — a common local concern during fall and spring when pollen and debris increase.

• Located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing
• Glove-box removal or lowering is usually required for access
• Technicians inspect the HVAC intake and cabin drain for obstructions

The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 3.6L V6 combustion system while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

The engine filter protects the throttle body, intake valves, and MAF sensor from dust and debris that affect performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter reduces pollen, dust, and odors in the passenger cabin and helps maintain HVAC airflow and comfort for families riding in Sandy and nearby communities.

• Engine filter = combustion air, protects engine components
• Cabin filter = HVAC air, improves passenger air quality
• Both filters affect comfort and long-term component health

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

For the 3.6L V6, restricted intake can cause sluggish acceleration and poorer MPG; for the cabin filter, you may notice weaker vent airflow, fogging issues, or persistent odors. Given Sandy’s seasonal pollen and valley dust, these symptoms can appear sooner without regular inspection.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, rough idle, lower fuel economy
• Cabin symptoms: weak HVAC airflow, musty or stale odors
• Inspect both filters if you experience performance or comfort changes

The engine air filter is often DIY-friendly; the cabin filter typically requires glove-box access and may be easier for a service technician to replace correctly.

If you are comfortable with basic hand tools, many owners replace the engine air filter themselves. The cabin filter involves panel removal and inspection of the HVAC intake and drain; our technicians can complete that step and document the condition, which is helpful for resale or warranty records.

• Engine filter: usually user-replaceable with minor tools
• Cabin filter: often requires glove-box or trim removal
• Dealer service includes intake and MAF visual inspection and proper disposal

The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica pairs a 3.6L V6 engine with a dedicated intake airbox that takes a replaceable engine air filter; the cabin filter sits behind the glove-box HVAC access. OEM-spec (Mopar) filters are matched to the Pacifica’s intake geometry and HVAC flow rates to maintain correct airflow and filtration. Common service callouts in this platform include debris accumulation in the intake housing and pollen-related cabin filter loading during spring; technicians verify the airbox seals and the HVAC drain to prevent moisture or leaf buildup.
