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 2013 Chrysler 300?
The 2013 Chrysler 300’s engine air filter sits inside the air cleaner box in the engine bay on the passenger side, ahead of the 3.6L V6 intake tube.
Open the hood and look to the passenger-side front corner: the plastic air box houses the panel-style filter that feeds the V-shaped intake for the 292-hp Pentastar engine. A tight seal here is critical for accurate MAF readings and proper fuel trims, especially on New England roads. Our Millbury service team can inspect the housing and clips during replacement.
- Passenger-side air cleaner housing next to intake snorkel
- Panel filter accessed by releasing housing clips/screws
- Seating the lid evenly prevents unmetered air leaks
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2013 Chrysler 300?
The 2013 Chrysler 300 cabin air filter is located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake area.
Lower or remove the glove box to access the rectangular cabin filter door, then slide the old filter out and note airflow direction. This area traps pollen and road dust common around Worcester County, so correct orientation matters for filtration and blower performance. If trim removal isn’t your thing, our Millbury team can handle it quickly.
- Behind glove box; access panel on HVAC housing
- Airflow arrows must face the correct direction
- Good time to inspect for leaves/debris in cowl
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2013 Chrysler 300?
The engine air filter protects the 3.6L V6s intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air that you and your passengers breathe.
The engine filter lives in the under-hood air box feeding the throttle body; a clean element supports power, fuel economy, and sensor accuracy. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box and traps pollen, dust, and odors circulating through the vents. Both are essential for New England driving comfort and reliability.
- Engine filter = combustion air; cabin filter = passenger air
- Different locations, sizes, and media types
- Both should be replaced with OEM-spec Mopar filters
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2013 Chrysler 300?
Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).
When the under-hood filter loads up, the 292-hp V6 may feel sluggish and the transmission may hunt more as the engine struggles to breathe. In the cabin, dust, haze on the windshield, or a strained blower in spring pollen season can point to a saturated filter. Our Millbury shop can confirm with a quick visual inspection.
- Engine: hesitation, poor MPG, intake noise changes
- Cabin: reduced vent flow, odors, increased window fog
- Visible debris or darkened pleats on removed filters
Can I replace the air filter on my 2013 Chrysler 300 myself, or should the dealer do it?
The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box removal and is easier at the dealer.
Most owners can unclip the air box and swap the engine filter carefully, ensuring the lid seals to prevent unmetered air. The cabin filter sits behind trim and can be awkward; our certified technicians include an intake/MAF visual check and proper seating of the HVAC filter. If you prefer expert service, schedule service online.
- DIY engine filter: basic tools, careful resealing
- Cabin filter: tight access, correct airflow orientation
- Dealer includes housing check and disposal

How do I know if the cabin air filter in my 2013 Chrysler 300 needs to be changed?
Tell-tale signs include weak vent airflow, persistent odors, and increased dust on interior surfaces.
Behind the glove box, the filter traps Worcester-area pollen and road grit; once saturated, it restricts blower performance and can leave a musty smell. If your defroster struggles or the fan seems loud but airflow is low, the cabin filter may be due. We can confirm in Millbury with a simple pull-and-inspect.
- Check for gray/black pleats and debris buildup
- Monitor airflow changes between fan speeds
- Seasonal pollen spikes may accelerate loading
