Where is the engine air filter located on a 2012 Dodge Challenger?
It sits inside the engine-bay airbox on the passenger side, upstream of the intake tube.
On the 2012 Dodge Challenger 6.4L V8, the panel-style filter is housed in a sealed airbox designed to feed the intake track clean air. Access typically involves unclipping or unbolting the airbox lid. While the job is straightforward, we also inspect the airbox seal and the intake ducting to prevent unmetered air leaks.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2012 Dodge Challenger?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for the passenger compartment.
The 2012 Dodge Challenger’s engine filter protects the 6.4L V8 and mass airflow sensor from dirt that can reduce power and efficiency. The cabin filter, typically behind the glove box, safeguards occupants and HVAC components from dust and odors. Both filters are service items but have different locations, media, and service intervals.
- Engine filter: performance and MAF sensor protection
- Cabin filter: HVAC airflow, odor, and allergen control
- We install OEM-spec filters; book now: schedule service
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2012 Dodge Challenger?
Reduced power, lower MPG, and rough idle signal a clogged engine filter; weak HVAC airflow and musty odors point to a dirty cabin filter.
On the 6.4L V8, a restricted engine filter can starve intake air, leading to sluggish acceleration. A clogged cabin filter strains the blower motor and compromises defrost performance. If you notice these symptoms, have both filters inspected promptly to protect performance and comfort.
- Engine symptoms: hesitation, intake noise changes, poorer fuel economy
- Cabin symptoms: reduced vents airflow, fogging, odors
- Complimentary multi-point check at every visit
