11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Dodge Durango?
The engine air filter on a 2016 Dodge Durango sits in a sealed air box inside the engine bay, typically on the passenger side ahead of the engine.
Open the hood and look for a rectangular plastic housing fed by the intake duct; that’s the air box containing the filter for the 3.6L V6. The lid is secured with clips or screws and lifts off to access the filter element. If you’re unsure, our Danvers service team can confirm placement and condition during a quick inspection.

- Accessed by releasing clips or screws

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2016 Dodge Durango?
The cabin air filter on a 2016 Dodge Durango is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake area.
Lower or remove the glove box to reveal the cabin filter access panel, then slide the old filter out and the new one in with the airflow arrow oriented correctly. Space is tight and trim clips can be delicate; if you prefer, our technicians in Danvers can replace it quickly using the correct Mopar-spec filter.

- Airflow direction arrow must face correctly
- Trim clips and stops may need careful release
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Dodge Durango?
The engine air filter cleans air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air for passengers through the HVAC system.
On the 2016 Dodge Durango, the engine filter protects the 3.6L V6 intake from dust and debris, supporting power and fuel economy. The cabin filter traps pollen and fine particles before they enter the interior. Both are serviceable items and benefit from inspection during seasonal changes around Danvers and the North Shore.
- Engine filter: performance and fuel-economy protection
- Cabin filter: occupant comfort and HVAC health
- Different locations and service procedures
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2016 Dodge Durango?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and a rough idle for the engine; weak airflow and musty odors for the cabin.
If your 2016 Dodge Durango hesitates under acceleration or the HVAC struggles to push air, filters may be restricted. New England pollen surges and winter road grit can load filters faster. A quick check in Danvers can confirm condition and restore proper airflow.

- Cabin: reduced blower output, foggy windows, odor
- Visual: dark, debris-laden filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2016 Dodge Durango myself, or should the dealer do it?
