Where is the engine air filter located on a 2017 Dodge Charger?

The 2017 Dodge Charger’s engine air filter is housed in the airbox inside the engine bay, typically on the passenger side near the intake tube.

This location makes visual checks straightforward on supercharged V8 models and helps ensure a good seal around the intake. In Tucson’s dusty environment, confirming the lid and clamps are secure is important to keep debris away from the 6.2L V8’s supercharger. Our technicians verify proper fit and sealing during every service.

  • Access via airbox cover clips or screws
  • Inspect intake ducting for cracks or loose clamps
  • Check for dust bypass around the filter gasket
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2017 Dodge Charger?

The 2017 Dodge Charger’s cabin air filter is located behind the glove box within the HVAC housing.

Access requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the rectangular access panel. Replacing this filter helps keep Tucson dust, desert pollen, and road odors from circulating through the vents. Our team ensures the filter door reseals properly to prevent airflow leaks and noise.

  • Remove glove box stops to lower the compartment
  • Open the HVAC access cover to reach the filter
  • Install with airflow arrow oriented correctly
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Dodge Charger?

The engine air filter protects the 6.2L V8s intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

Each filter serves a distinct job: the engine element helps maintain power and efficiency, and the cabin element improves in-vehicle air quality. In Tucson, frequent dust exposure makes both filters critical for performance and comfort. We inspect both during routine visits to catch clogging early.

  • Engine filter: located in the underhood airbox
  • Cabin filter: behind the glove box in HVAC housing
  • Different media and airflow directions by design
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Dodge Charger?

Common signs include reduced power, worse fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

Tucsons dust and seasonal pollen can load both filters faster, especially if you drive on unpaved roads. The supercharged 2017 Dodge Charger is sensitive to intake restriction, so a dirty engine filter can feel like lag or hesitation. If you notice these symptoms, book an inspection promptly.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration, darker filter media
  • Cabin: reduced vent output, increased fan noise
  • Visible debris or sand in the filter housing
Can I replace the air filter on my 2017 Dodge Charger myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes, the engine filter is generally DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter is moderately involved and often easier with dealer tools.

The 2017 Dodge Chargers airbox uses clips or screws most owners can handle. The cabin filter requires glove box removal and careful reassembly to prevent rattles or airflow leaks. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson, we also inspect the intake tract and mass airflow area for dust bypass.

  • DIY engine filter: basic hand tools and correct orientation
  • Cabin filter: glove box stops and trim manipulation
  • Dealer adds sealing checks and MAF-area inspection

The cabin air filter, mounted behind the glove box, uses pleated media to trap particulate and pollen before it reaches the HVAC evaporator and cabin vents.
