11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Dodge Charger?
The engine air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger is located in the airbox in the engine bay, usually at the front-left or front-right depending on engine layout.
On the 3.6L V6 in the 2020 Dodge Charger you’ll find the airbox near the front of the engine compartment; it’s a plastic housing secured with clips or screws. Local technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy will open the housing to inspect the element and the intake ducting for debris.
- Airbox sits in the engine bay and is removable for access to the filter element
- Inspect for tears, heavy dust, or standing debris in the intake
- Technician will reseat the housing and fasteners to maintain a proper seal
Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2020 Dodge Charger?
The cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger is typically located behind the glove box or under the right‑side dash access panel.
Access usually requires lowering the glove box or removing a trim panel to reach the filter tray. Our Sandy service technicians perform a visual inspection of the HVAC housing and drainage while replacing the cabin filter to prevent odors and blockages.
- Filter sits in a tray behind the glove box or dash panel
- Replacement may require small trim removal or glove box drop-down
- Technician will check HVAC drains and blower intake for leaves and debris
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger?
The engine air filter protects the 3.6L V6 intake and fuel system; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.
Engine filters trap dust and grit before air reaches the throttle body and cylinders; cabin filters trap pollen, dust, and particulates that affect occupant comfort. Both filters affect performance in different ways: the engine filter impacts combustion and fuel economy, the cabin filter influences airflow and interior air quality.
- Engine filter = combustion intake protection
- Cabin filter = HVAC and passenger air quality
- Both should be inspected regularly for best performance and comfort
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger?
Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
If your 2020 Dodge Charger feels sluggish on acceleration or uses more fuel on familiar routes, the engine intake may be restricted. Inside the cabin, poor airflow, increased dust on vents, or a persistent odor indicate a clogged cabin filter. Our technicians in Sandy inspect both systems and document findings.
- Engine: loss of throttle response and reduced MPG
- Cabin: reduced fan flow, odors, and increased dust inside cabin
- Inspection reveals filter condition, housing contamination, and intake leaks
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Dodge Charger myself, or should the dealer do it?
The engine air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger is often DIY‑friendly; the cabin filter can require more trim removal and may be easier at the dealer.
Many owners can swap the engine air filter with basic tools, but the cabin filter may need glove box removal or panel clips. Dealer service adds value through OEM‑spec parts, an intake/MAF visual inspection, proper disposal, and documented service history for your vehicle.
- Engine filter: typically accessible and replaceable by owners
- Cabin filter: may need trim tools and careful reassembly
- Dealer service includes OEM spec parts and inspection of related components
