2016 Jeep Wrangler Air Filter in Danvers, MA

The 2016 Jeep Wrangler engine air filter sits in a sealed rectangular airbox near the front of the engine bay.

This airbox routes fresh air to the 3.6L V6 intake for optimal combustion. Open the latches or screws on the housing, lift the cover, and you’ll see the panel-style filter. The cabin filter, by contrast, is accessed behind the glove box area. If you’d like a professional inspection, you can schedule service at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers.
