Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Dodge Charger?

The 2020 Dodge Charger’s engine air filter sits inside the under-hood airbox, typically on the passenger side near the intake ducting.

This airbox houses the panel-style filter that screens incoming air before it reaches the 3.6L V6 intake. Access usually involves unclipping or unscrewing the airbox lid and lifting the old filter straight out. If you prefer a professional inspection, the team at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers in Danvers, MA can perform an OEM-spec replacement.

  • Under-hood airbox near the intake snorkel
  • Panel-style filter lifts out once the lid is released
  • Seating the perimeter seal correctly prevents unfiltered air bypass
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger?

The 2020 Dodge Charger’s cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake path.

This pleated filter cleans the air entering the passenger compartment through the heating and A/C system. Access commonly involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach a small cover over the filter slot. If you’d like help, our Danvers, MA service department can replace it with an OEM-spec element and check HVAC operation.

  • Positioned behind the glove box area
  • Removable access panel on the HVAC housing
  • Ensures cleaner cabin air and stronger defog/defrost performance
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger?

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

Under hood, the engine filter preserves performance and helps maintain fuel economy by keeping particulates out of the intake. Inside, the cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and debris so air through the vents stays cleaner. Servicing both on a 2020 Dodge Charger balances powertrain health with in-cabin comfort.

  • Engine filter: combustion air quality for the V6
  • Cabin filter: passenger and HVAC air quality
  • Different locations, different materials, different service goals
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Dodge Charger?

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

On the 2020 Dodge Charger, a dirty engine filter can restrict the 3.6L V6 intake, dulling throttle response. A saturated cabin filter can reduce HVAC volume and introduce odors from trapped contaminants. If you notice these symptoms in Danvers or the North Shore, book a quick check with our Mopar-trained team.

  • Engine: hesitation, sluggish acceleration, lower MPG
  • Cabin: reduced vent output, haze on glass, odors
  • Inspection can confirm condition before replacement
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Dodge Charger myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes—most owners can DIY the engine filter, while the cabin filter may require glove-box removal and careful reassembly.

The engine air filter is typically a simple airbox access job with basic tools. The cabin filter demands delicate trim handling to avoid clips breaking or rattles. Dealer service at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers adds OEM filter verification, intake/MAF checks, and proper fitment.

  • DIY-friendly engine filter with straightforward access
  • Cabin filter needs trim care and correct orientation
  • Dealer includes intake sealing and MAF visual checks
Does Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers use OEM filters for a 2020 Dodge Charger?

Yes—our Danvers, MA service department installs genuine Mopar and OEM-spec filters on the 2020 Dodge Charger.

Using Mopar or OEM-equivalent components ensures proper fit, filtration efficiency, and compatibility with the Charger’s intake and HVAC systems. This supports expected performance and helps maintain system longevity. Ask our advisors to show you the part packaging before installation for added confidence.

  • Genuine Mopar/OEM fit and filtration media
  • Built to manufacturer specifications for the Charger
  • Backed by our professional installation practices
Should I replace both the engine and cabin air filters at the same time on a 2020 Dodge Charger?

It’s practical to inspect both together and replace as needed based on condition and driving environment.

New England seasons, road salt, and pollen can load each filter differently, so one may need service sooner. A same-visit check minimizes trips and keeps both the 3.6L V6 intake and cabin HVAC breathing freely. Our Danvers team can measure restriction and show you the filters before you decide.

  • Sync inspections to reduce visits
  • Replace only if contamination warrants
  • Visual proof of condition before approval
Is it safe to drive a 2020 Dodge Charger with a dirty air filter?

Short trips are usually possible, but continued driving can reduce performance, efficiency, and HVAC effectiveness.

A restricted engine filter can make the 3.6L V6 feel sluggish and may contribute to poor fuel economy. A clogged cabin filter can strain the blower motor and reduce defogging on damp North Shore days. If performance or visibility is affected, schedule an appointment soon.

  • Engine: possible power loss and higher fuel use
  • Cabin: weaker airflow and fog-prone glass
  • Prompt service restores proper airflow
What’s Included in a 2020 Dodge Charger Air Filter Replacement

Our air filter service for the 2020 Dodge Charger focuses on clean airflow and correct fitment. Technicians begin with an engine air filter inspection and replacement if contaminated, ensuring the panel seats evenly in the airbox to prevent bypass. We then inspect and, if needed, replace the cabin air filter behind the glove box, confirming correct orientation and seal for optimal HVAC performance. The intake housing is checked for debris and secure fasteners, and we perform a visual mass airflow (MAF) sensor check for contamination indicators. You can review your old parts before we dispose of them. Ready to move forward? Use our quick link to schedule service or call us at +1- to book your appointment.

2020 Dodge Charger Air Filter Specifications

The 2020 Dodge Charger’s 3.6L V6 uses a panel-style engine air filter housed in a sealed airbox to protect the intake tract.

While specific maintenance intervals vary by condition and use, inspecting both filters regularly is key for consistent performance and cabin comfort—especially through New England pollen spikes and winter road debris.
