Chrysler Air Filter service at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury in Millbury, MA Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2010 Chrysler 300?
The 2010 Chrysler 300 engine air filter sits in the engine-bay airbox, typically on the passenger-side fender well.
Open the hood and look for a rectangular airbox connected to the intake ducting; the filter is inside under a clipped or screwed cover. Keeping this path sealed and clean helps the 3.5L V6 breathe properly in New England weather. If you’re unsure, our Millbury technicians can confirm placement and condition during a quick inspection.
- Located inside the engine airbox in the bay
- Accessed by releasing clips or screws on the airbox lid
- Connected to intake ducting feeding the throttle body
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2010 Chrysler 300?
The 2010 Chrysler 300 cabin air filter is behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.
Lower or remove the glove box to reach the rectangular filter door on the passenger side. This filter cleans air for you and your passengers—useful for Worcester County commutes through dust, pollen, and winter road debris. If access is tight, our team can replace it and check HVAC operation at the same visit.
- Located behind the glove box on the passenger side
- Slides into an HVAC slot with a small access panel
- Protects occupants by filtering pollen and particulates
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2010 Chrysler 300?
The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment.
Under-hood, the engine filter prevents dust from reaching the throttle body and cylinders, supporting performance and fuel economy. Inside, the cabin filter screens pollen and fine particles before they reach the vents. Both are important—one for combustion health, the other for comfort and HVAC longevity.
- Engine filter: engine-bay airbox; safeguards intake tract
- Cabin filter: behind glove box; improves in-cabin air quality
- Both are replaceable service items using Mopar OEM filters
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2010 Chrysler 300?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter) and weak airflow or musty odor (cabin filter).
If your 2010 Chrysler 300 feels sluggish or the HVAC struggles to push air through the vents, a dirty filter may be restricting flow. New England’s mix of winter road grit and seasonal debris can load filters faster. Our Millbury service team can inspect both filters and advise on next steps.
- Engine: hesitation, poorer MPG, darker/dirty filter media
- Cabin: weak vent airflow, odor, increased fan noise
- Visual inspection quickly confirms condition
Can I replace the air filter on my 2010 Chrysler 300 myself, or should the dealer do it?
The engine filter is usually DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box access that27s easier with proper tools.
Many owners can swap the engine filter by releasing the airbox cover. The cabin filter involves interior trim movement and careful re-seating of the access door. Dealer service adds an intake seal check, MAF visual inspection, and Mopar-spec filter fitment. If you prefer convenience, schedule service in Millbury.
- DIY feasible for engine filter with basic tools
- Cabin filter access is tighter; trim care is important
- Dealer visit includes inspections and OEM fit confirmation

Which filter should I change first on a 2010 Chrysler 300 if I can only do one?
Prioritize the engine air filter first to protect the 3.5L V6, then replace the cabin filter for comfort and HVAC health.
A restricted engine filter can affect drivability and fuel economy, so it27s the critical maintenance item. The cabin filter is important for clear airflow and odor control—especially during New England27s dusty or winter road periods—but it27s secondary to engine protection. We can inspect both and stage replacements if needed.

2010 Chrysler 300 Air Filter Specifications
The 2010 Chrysler 300 uses two filters: an engine air filter for the 3.5L V6 intake and a cabin air filter for the HVAC system. Genuine Mopar filters provide the correct media density, frame design, and seal geometry to maintain airflow and filtration targets set by Chrysler engineering. While specific part numbers vary by build and supplier, the fitment and sealing surfaces are critical to prevent unmetered air in the intake or bypass in the HVAC housing. If you’re unsure what your vehicle needs, our OEM-trained team will confirm the correct application and inspect both housings for debris and proper closure.

What27s Included in a 2010 Chrysler 300 Air Filter Replacement
Our service covers both performance and comfort. We begin with an engine intake visual check, then open the airbox to inspect the engine filter media, seals, and housing. If replacement is needed, we install a Mopar-spec filter and verify airbox fitment and duct connections. Next, we access the cabin filter behind the glove box, inspect for debris and moisture, and replace it if needed with a Mopar cabin element that fits the 300’s HVAC slot precisely. A mass airflow (MAF) sensor visual and intake tract check help confirm proper upstream sealing.
