Dodge 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 2020 Dodge Challenger?
The 2020 Dodge Challenger engine air filter sits inside the airbox in the engine bay, upstream of the intake tube.
This location allows the filter to clean incoming air before it reaches the 5.7L HEMI V8’s intake. Access typically involves releasing a few clips or screws on the airbox lid. If you’re unsure about access or sealing the box correctly, our Millbury team can inspect and replace it during a same-day visit.
- Engine bay airbox ahead of the intake tube
- Seals must be re-seated to prevent unmetered air leaks
- We verify housing clips, ducts, and intake bellows
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?
The engine air filter protects the 5.7L HEMIs intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.
These two filters do different jobs in different locations. The engine filter sits in the under-hood airbox to keep dirt out of the intake and MAF path; the cabin filter is typically positioned behind the glove box to trap dust, pollen, and road odors from the HVAC stream. Both affect drivability and comfort when clogged.
- Engine filter = performance and engine protection
- Cabin filter = in-cabin air quality and HVAC efficiency
- Distinct locations, replacement steps, and filter media
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?
Common signs include reduced power, worse fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).
If your 2020 Dodge Challenger feels sluggish or the HVAC air seems weak or stale, one or both filters may be restricted. New England pollen, road salt dust, and leaf debris can accelerate loading. Our Millbury service advisors can confirm restriction and check the intake housing and seals.
- Engine: hesitation, throttle response drop, richer fuel trims
- Cabin: foggy windows, fan noise with low airflow, odors
- Visual check: dark, debris-laden pleats indicate replacement
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Dodge Challenger myself, or should the dealer do it?
Many owners can DIY the engine filter, but dealer service ensures correct fit, housing seal, and intake/MAF inspection.
The engine air filter is usually straightforward; the cabin filter often requires glove box access and careful trim handling. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury, we install Mopar-spec filters and check ducts, clips, and the MAF path to prevent unmetered air leaks or rattles.
- DIY-friendly engine filter; cabin filter can involve interior trim
- Dealer adds intake and MAF visual checks
- OEM-spec Mopar filters preserve fit and filtration

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?
The 2020 Dodge Challenger cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake path.
Access generally involves lowering or removing the glove box and opening a small access door on the HVAC case. If clips or trim are tight, our Millbury team can replace it quickly and verify the blower and blend doors operate smoothly.
- Behind glove box in most configurations
- Check for leaves and debris in cowl/HVAC intake
- Verify access door seals to prevent bypass
How often should I replace the cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?
Replace the 2020 Dodge Challenger cabin air filter at the OEM-recommended interval; inspect sooner during heavy pollen seasons in Worcester County.
New Englands spring pollen and fall leaf debris can load a cabin filter early, reducing airflow and straining the blower. We recommend inspections during routine visits and replacement at the manufacturers interval or sooner if odors or weak airflow appear. Book a quick check at our Millbury location.
- Follow OEM interval; adjust for pollen/dust exposure
- Inspect during routine service for early clogging
- Schedule a cabin filter check online in minutes
How often should I replace the engine air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?
Replace the 2020 Dodge Challenger engine air filter at the OEM-specified mileage interval; inspect more often if you drive on dusty or salted roads.
Road salt dust, sand, and winter debris in Central Massachusetts can shorten service life for the 5.7L HEMIs filter. We suggest inspections at each oil change and replacement by the OEM mileage or earlier if performance drops. Our advisors can review your driving conditions and set an appropriate cadence.
- Use manufacturer mileage guidance as the baseline
- Increase frequency for dusty, salted, or unpaved routes
- Document changes to maintain consistent performance
