2017 FIAT 500x Air Filter in Millbury, MA

The 2017 FIAT 500X engine air filter sits inside the engine-bay airbox ahead of the engine intake.

You can access it by releasing the clips or screws on the airbox cover and lifting the lid to expose the rectangular filter. While you’re there, a quick visual check for debris and proper sealing helps protect the 2.4L inline-4 from dirt and moisture. Our technicians in Millbury also inspect the intake ducting for cracks or loose connections.

• Typical access: cover fasteners (clips/screws) on the airbox lid
• Dealer check: intake housing condition and seal integrity

At our Millbury service center, we use genuine Mopar filters for proper fit and filtration performance.
