2018 Dodge Challenger Air Filter in Danvers, MA

The 2018 Dodge Challenger’s engine air filter sits in a top-mounted airbox on the driver’s side of the engine bay.

This V8-powered coupe uses a sealed intake housing you can access by releasing a few clips or screws, then lifting the airbox cover. Positioning varies slightly by intake package, but on 5.7L HEMI V8s, the airbox is easy to spot near the front-left of the bay. Our Danvers, MA team can replace it during a quick visit.

• Driver’s-side, forward airbox with removable lid
• Release clips/screws, lift lid, swap filter, reseat seal
• We inspect intake tract for debris before reassembly

The 2018 Dodge Challenger’s cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake.

Access usually involves lowering or removing the glove box to reveal a rectangular access door on the HVAC housing. Swapping this filter helps maintain strong defrost and A/C performance—useful in New England’s pollen season and winter salt conditions. Our Danvers service team completes this quickly and disposes of the old filter properly.

• Glove box lowered/removed to reach HVAC housing
• Rectangular cover pops off to access the filter
• Correct airflow orientation is essential on install

The engine air filter protects the 5.7L HEMI’s intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger HVAC system.

Under-hood, the engine filter supports combustion efficiency and helps preserve mass airflow sensor accuracy. Inside, the cabin filter captures dust, pollen, and debris so you and your passengers breathe cleaner air. Each serves a distinct system, and both contribute to performance and comfort in Danvers, MA driving.

• Engine filter: maintains power and fuel quality of combustion air
• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC flow
• Different locations, replacement steps, and media types

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, and rough idle for the engine filter; weak airflow and musty odor indicate a clogged cabin filter.

New England dust, sand, and spring pollen can load filters faster, especially if you commute on Route 114 or I-95. If your 5.7L HEMI feels sluggish or your A/C output weakens, checking both filters is smart. Our Danvers team can inspect and replace only what’s needed.

• Engine: hesitation on acceleration, dirty filter media, intake whine
• Cabin: noisy blower, dusty vents, foggy windows slow to clear
• Visual check and light test can confirm blockage

Yes—engine filters are typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box removal and careful fitment.

Many owners swap the engine filter with basic tools; however, using the correct Mopar-spec part and sealing the airbox properly is crucial. Dealer service adds an intake/MAF visual check and proper disposal. If you prefer professional help in Danvers, schedule service online.

• DIY engine filter: simple clips/screws and correct orientation
• Cabin filter: trim/glove box handling to avoid damage
