Frequently Asked Questions

12 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Chrysler 300?

It sits in the engine bay inside the airbox, ahead of the 3.6L V6 intake tract on the driver-side/front corner.

This position allows the filter to clean incoming air before it reaches the throttle body and mass airflow path. During service in Danvers, MA, our technicians open the airbox, inspect the element for dust and debris, and reseal the housing to maintain proper intake flow. Proper seating of the lid and clips prevents unfiltered air bypass.

  • Engine bay airbox ahead of the intake snorkel
  • Quick visual inspection without removing major components
  • Seal and clips checked to prevent leaks
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2016 Chrysler 300?

It’s typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC housing on the passenger side.

This position filters outside air before it reaches the vents. Access usually requires lowering the glove box and removing a small access panel. Our Danvers service team replaces the cabin filter with the airflow arrow oriented correctly to preserve defrost and A/C performance during New England’s variable seasons.

  • Passenger-side glove box area access
  • Panel cover and tabs require careful removal
  • Airflow direction must match the housing arrows
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Chrysler 300?

The engine air filter protects the 3.6L V6 intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

Both are essential but serve different systems. The engine filter supports combustion efficiency and throttle response; the cabin filter reduces dust, pollen, and odors inside the sedan. In Danvers, we install Mopar-spec elements for correct fitment and seal, helping your 2016 Chrysler 300 perform quietly and comfortably on Route 114 and beyond.
