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

The engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside a sealed airbox ahead of the V6 intake tract.

On the 2017 Dodge Journey, the airbox houses the panel-style filter that feeds clean air to the 3.6L V6. Release the airbox clips and lift the cover to access the element—no special tools are typically required. If you prefer professional service in Danvers, MA, our certified technicians can inspect the housing, seals, and ducting during the same visit.

  • Located in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay
  • Feeds intake air to the 3.6L V6 (Pentastar)
  • Airbox clips allow straightforward access
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2017 Dodge Journey?

The cabin air filter is positioned behind the glove box within the HVAC intake path.

Most 2017 Dodge Journey models use an interior micro-filter mounted behind or beneath the glove box. Access often requires lowering the glove box and removing a small service panel. Our Danvers team can replace it while checking blower operation and seals to keep North Shore pollen and road dust out of the cabin.

  • Behind/beneath glove box in the HVAC intake
  • Access via a removable cabin filter door
  • Ideal to replace before peak pollen seasons
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Dodge Journey?

The engine filter protects the V6 intake for combustion, while the cabin filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.

In a 2017 Dodge Journey, the engine air filter sits in the engine bay airbox to shield the 3.6L V6 from dust and debris. The cabin air filter sits behind the glove box and traps pollen and particulates entering the passenger area. Both are important for New England driving, but they serve different systems.

  • Engine filter = combustion air quality
  • Cabin filter = passenger/HVAC air quality
  • Each has a unique location and service step
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Dodge Journey?

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

For the 2017 Dodge Journeys 3.6L V6, a dirty engine filter restricts intake flow, making the vehicle feel sluggish and less efficient. Inside the cabin, a clogged filter can cut HVAC airflow and allow odors or dust to linger. Seasonal pollen and winter road grit in Greater Boston accelerate clogging.

  • Engine: hesitation, lower MPG, dirty filter media
  • Cabin: weak vents, increased fogging, odors
  • Visual check: dark, debris-laden filter pleats
