Frequently Asked Questions

12 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Ram ProMaster City?

The 2016 Ram ProMaster City’s engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, upstream of the intake tube and MAF sensor.

Lift the hood and look for the black plastic airbox mounted near the front corner of the bay; the intake tube leads from this box to the 2.4L inline-4 throttle body. At our Millbury, MA service center, technicians access the box, verify seal alignment, and check for debris before refitting. This helps protect the 178-hp engine and maintain smooth airflow.

  • Engine air filter is housed in a latching plastic airbox
  • Located ahead of the intake tube to the throttle body
  • Quick visual check confirms sealing and debris condition
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Ram ProMaster City?

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

On the 2016 Ram ProMaster City, the engine filter protects the 2.4L inline-4 from dust and debris, supporting performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter targets pollen and particulates entering the vents. Our Millbury team replaces each with OEM-spec elements to fit Ram ducting and seals correctly.

  • Engine filter: performance and engine protection
  • Cabin filter: passenger comfort and HVAC health
  • Distinct locations, materials, and service steps
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2016 Ram ProMaster City?

Common signs include reduced power, rough idle, lower fuel economy, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors from the vents.

For the ProMaster City’s 2.4L engine, restricted intake airflow can dull throttle response and nudge MPG downward from its normal 24 city/29 highway rating. Inside the cabin, a dirty filter can limit blower output and cause odors. Our Millbury service team inspects both filters and nearby ducts to confirm the root cause.

  • Engine: hesitation, sluggish acceleration, lower MPG
  • Cabin: reduced vent flow, odors, more dust on surfaces
  • Visual check: darkened media or debris in pleats
Can I replace the air filter on my 2016 Ram ProMaster City myself, or should the dealer do it?

The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly; the cabin filter can require trim access and is easier with dealer tools.

Many owners can open the ProMaster City’s airbox with basic tools. Cabin filter access often involves interior panels and care around the glove box area. At our Millbury location, we include housing checks, MAF visual inspection, proper sealing, and disposal—plus OEM-spec parts for a precise fit.

  • DIY possible for engine filter with basic tools
  • Cabin filter access may be tighter and more involved
  • Dealer service verifies seals, intake path, and sensor area
Does Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury use OEM filters for 2016 Ram ProMaster City replacements?

Yes—our service team installs Mopar OEM-spec filters designed for the 2016 Ram ProMaster City.

Using Mopar elements helps ensure correct filtration efficiency, fitment in the Ram airbox and HVAC tray, and proper sealing under varying loads. This supports the 2.4L inline-4’s performance and the cabin HVAC system’s longevity. Genuine parts are selected to match factory airflow targets.

  • Mopar OEM-spec engine and cabin filters
  • Designed for Ram ProMaster City housings and seals
  • Supports performance, comfort, and component life
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2016 Ram ProMaster City?

The 2016 Ram ProMaster City’s cabin air filter is typically positioned behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.

Access often requires opening or lowering the glove box to reach a small access door on the HVAC case. Our Millbury technicians remove the cover, check for debris and odor sources, and ensure the airflow arrow is oriented correctly on installation. This restores clean ventilation for daily driving around Worcester County.

  • Located behind glove box at HVAC intake
  • Access via small panel/door on HVAC housing
  • Correct airflow orientation is essential
Do dirty air filters affect MPG on a 2016 Ram ProMaster City?

Yes—restricted engine airflow can lower real-world MPG from the ProMaster City’s EPA ratings of 24 city/29 highway.

A clogged engine filter forces the 2.4L inline-4 to work harder for the same intake volume, which can trim efficiency and responsiveness. Keeping the cabin filter clean also helps the blower work efficiently for clear windows and comfort. Our Millbury shop inspects both filters during routine visits.

  • Engine filter condition influences fuel economy
  • EPA baseline: 24 city/29 highway MPG
  • Regular inspections help preserve efficiency
