2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Air Filter in Sandy, UT

The engine air filter on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is located in the engine bay inside a rectangular plastic air box near the front of the engine compartment.

Accessing the filter typically requires opening the hood and unclipping or unscrewing the airbox cover; the filter sits upstream of the intake tubing. At our Sandy service center we inspect the housing and intake tract for debris when we change the element to protect the MAF and intake components.

• Located in the engine bay airbox, forward of the engine.
• Usually secured with clips or a few screws for quick access.
• Technician checks the intake housing and MAF when replacing the filter.

The engine air filter cleans combustion air entering the engine, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

On the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee the engine filter protects the engine and sensors from dust and debris; the cabin filter protects occupants from pollen, dust, and odors. Both filters affect performance—engine filter impacts power and economy; cabin filter affects HVAC airflow and air quality.

• Engine filter = combustion air, located in the engine bay airbox.
• Cabin filter = HVAC/passenger air, typically behind the glove box or under the dash.
• Both should be inspected regularly for local dust and pollen conditions.

Common signs on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, and weak HVAC airflow or a musty cabin odor.

Engine symptoms like hesitation, rough idle, or reduced acceleration can indicate a restricted engine air filter; HVAC symptoms such as reduced airflow or odor point to a dirty cabin filter. Sandy’s seasonal pollen and occasional canyon dust can accelerate filter loading.

• Engine: reduced acceleration or rough idle, lower MPG.
• HVAC: weak airflow, unpleasant or musty odors in the cabin.
• Visual check: dark, clogged pleats on the filter element.

Many owners can replace the engine air filter on a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee themselves, but cabin filter replacement may require glove-box trim removal; dealer service adds inspection and OEM-spec parts.

The engine air filter is often DIY-friendly with basic tools; the cabin filter can be more involved depending on access. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy our technicians inspect the intake, check the MAF sensor, and fit OEM-spec filters, which some owners do not complete at home.

• Engine filter: usually simple clip/screw removal in the engine bay.
• Cabin filter: may need glove box or trim removal for access.
• Dealer service includes intake/MAF visual check and OEM-spec replacement.
