2020 Dodge Challenger Air Filter

The engine air filter for the 2020 Dodge Challenger is mounted in a sealed rectangular intake box in the engine bay serving the 5.7L V8.

On the 5.7L V8, the intake box is accessible from the engine bay without major disassembly on most models; technicians check the housing seal during service. At our Sandy Auto Mall location we inspect the airbox and intake snorkel for debris that accelerates filter wear during valley commutes.

• Located in the engine bay inside the rectangular airbox.
• Technician inspects the housing seal and intake snorkel.
• Accessible for most DIY owners, but we document the intake check.

The cabin air filter on the 2020 Dodge Challenger is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Access typically requires releasing the glove box stops or a small trim panel; the filter sits in an HVAC housing and is sized for passenger‑compartment air quality. In Sandy, seasonal pollen and valley dust make this inspection important for clear airflow and odor control.

• Found behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.
• Requires glove box release or minor trim removal to access.
• We inspect for debris and dampness that can cause musty odors.

The engine air filter protects the 5.7L V8's combustion intake, while the cabin air filter conditions the HVAC airflow for passengers.

The engine filter keeps dirt and road dust out of the intake tract to preserve power and fuel economy; the cabin filter stops pollen, dust, and odors from entering the passenger compartment. Both are distinct parts with different housings and inspection points during service.

• Engine filter: keeps particulates out of the combustion system.
• Cabin filter: cleans HVAC intake air for occupants.
• Replaced separately and inspected for housing leaks and debris.

A clogged engine air filter can reduce throttle response in the 375‑hp 5.7L V8 and lower fuel economy; a clogged cabin filter results in weak HVAC airflow and musty smells.

You may notice slower acceleration, rough idle, or a drop in MPG when the engine filter is restricted; cabin filter issues are evident as reduced vent flow, persistent dust in vents, or odors. Our Sandy technicians check both filters and related components to diagnose the root cause.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, rough idle, poorer fuel economy.
• Cabin symptoms: weak vents, dust, or musty HVAC odor.
• Inspection includes intake housing and visual MAF sensor check.

The engine air filter on the 2020 Dodge Challenger is often DIY‑serviceable, while the cabin filter usually needs glove‑box removal; Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy performs a documented MAF/intake inspection with replacement.

If you’re comfortable with basic hand tools you can replace the engine filter; cabin access can be fiddly. Our Sandy Auto Mall service team at 10905 South Auto Mall Drive adds intake and sensor checks that many DIY jobs omit and documents work in your service record.

• Engine filter: straightforward on many models for DIY replacement.
• Cabin filter: often requires removing glove‑box stops or panels.
• Dealer service includes intake housing and MAF visual checks.

Dust and pollen around 10905 South Auto Mall Drive in Sandy, UT increase particulate loading on the filters and can shorten service life compared with low‑dust regions.

Commuters who travel I‑15 between Salt Lake City and Provo, or who take canyon routes, will see accelerated accumulation of dust in both engine and cabin filters. We tailor inspection guidance to local conditions and can replace filters more frequently when local driving patterns demand it.

• Sandy’s seasonal pollen and canyon dust increase filter loading.
• Regular highway and canyon driving speeds up particulate buildup.
• We recommend documented inspections for valley commuters.

Technicians perform a visual intake‑housing and MAF sensor check, replace the specified filter(s), and record the service at our Sandy Auto Mall facility.

Beyond replacement, we inspect seals, the intake snorkel, and the HVAC housing to confirm there is no secondary contamination. These steps help preserve the 5.7L V8's performance and maintain cabin comfort for local commutes and canyon trips.

• Visual check of intake housing and sealing surfaces.
• Visual MAF sensor inspection and filter replacement.
• Service documented in your vehicle record at our facility.

A fresh engine air filter restores airflow to the 375‑hp 5.7L V8, improving throttle response and helping maintain EPA‑class efficiency.

Replacing clogged or heavily soiled filters reduces intake restriction and can return transient throttle response and economy closer to original factory behavior. For HVAC comfort, a new cabin filter restores vent flow and reduces dust and allergens inside the car.

• Engine: improved throttle response and steadier power delivery.
• Cabin: stronger vent airflow and fewer odors or dust in the cabin.
• Service helps preserve long‑term engine and HVAC health.

When you bring a 2020 Dodge Challenger in for air‑filter service we follow a step‑wise process designed to document airflow components and restore performance. The technician starts with a visual inspection of the engine airbox, intake snorkel and mounting seals, then removes and examines the existing engine filter for contamination patterns that could indicate intake leaks or heavy dust exposure. The cabin filter is inspected behind the glove box for debris, dampness or pollen buildup that reduces HVAC performance.

Replacement includes installing the correctly sized filter element, verifying proper seating of the airbox cover, and a visual check of the MAF sensor and wiring. We clear and record the service on the vehicle file so future visits reflect previous work. To schedule, use the schedule service link or view current service specials.

The 2020 Dodge Challenger with the 5.7L V8 uses a dedicated engine air filter sized for high‑flow performance; the cabin filter is a separate HVAC element located behind the glove box. Exact part numbers and element dimensions depend on the vehicle's original factory configuration and exterior options, so technicians confirm fitment during service. Common callouts seen on V8 Challengers include increased dust loading after canyon trips and pollen season, and oil or residue in the intake path when heavy debris ingestion occurs.

Bring your 2020 Dodge Challenger to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy in Sandy for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.

We serve Sandy, Draper, and South Jordan from our Sandy Auto Mall location and tailor filter guidance to Wasatch Front driving patterns. Seasonal pollen and canyon dust in the southern Salt Lake Valley accelerate particulate loading, so local drivers frequently benefit from documented inspections and timely replacement. Our team inspects intake seals, the MAF sensor area and HVAC housing during every filter service to reduce repeat visits.

Find us at 10905 South Auto Mall Drive, just off I‑15; commuters to Draper and the Silicon Slopes often stop by for scheduled maintenance. To book an appointment online, schedule service or check current service specials.
