Ram Air Filter service at Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers in Danvers, MA Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
The engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the airbox ahead of the 2.4L inline-4 engine.
You’ll find the rectangular airbox under the hood, secured with clips or screws, routing clean air to the 2.4-liter Tigershark inline-four. Our Danvers, MA service team can access it quickly to inspect or replace without disturbing nearby components. Proper placement helps protect the intake and mass airflow path from dust common on New England roads.
- Engine: 2.4L inline-4 (regular unleaded)
- Airbox ahead of engine, fed by front intake duct
- Address: 107 Andover St, Danvers, MA 01923
Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
The cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.
On most Promaster City vans, access requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the HVAC filter door. This position lets the filter scrub pollen, dust, and road debris before air enters the cabin—useful for North Shore allergy seasons. If clips or trim are tight, our technicians can replace it cleanly and re-seat all panels.
- Behind glove box near blower motor intake
- Filters HVAC air for driver and passengers
- Service available in Danvers near Route 114
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
The engine air filter protects the 2.4L intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for the passengers.
The engine filter sits in the under-hood airbox to maintain proper airflow and safeguard combustion and sensors. The cabin filter lives in the HVAC system to reduce dust, odors, and pollen inside the minivan’s interior. Both contribute to comfort and efficiency, but they serve different systems.
- Engine filter: performance, fuel economy, sensor protection
- Cabin filter: HVAC airflow quality and odor control
- Different locations, different service procedures
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
Engine: reduced power, rough idle, and lower MPG; Cabin: weak airflow, window fogging, and musty odors.
For the 2.4L inline-4, restricted airflow can make the van feel sluggish, especially under load, and may upset fuel trims. Inside the cabin, a saturated filter strains the blower motor and can worsen allergy symptoms during Danvers pollen spikes. Checking both filters together catches issues early.
- Engine hesitation or throttle lag under acceleration
- HVAC airflow drops even at higher fan speeds
- Visible dirt or debris on removed filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Ram Promaster City myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes—engine filters are often DIY-friendly, while cabin filters may require trim removal best handled by a technician.
The under-hood airbox on the Promaster City typically uses clips or screws, making at-home swaps straightforward with basic tools. Cabin filters sit behind the glove box and can involve tight clearances. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers, replacements include an intake/MAF check and proper seating of panels and seals.
- DIY possible: engine filter with simple hand tools
- Technician recommended: cabin filter and panel re-fit
- OEM-spec parts help maintain airflow and fit
Does Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Danvers use OEM filters for 2020 Ram Promaster City replacements?

OEM Mopar filters match the Promaster City’s 2.4L intake and HVAC dimensions for proper sealing and flow. This helps maintain fuel trims, blower efficiency, and noise levels. Visit our Danvers facility for parts that meet factory specifications and preserve vehicle performance.

How often should I replace the engine air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
Follow the Ram maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual for the official engine air filter interval.
Service intervals can vary by driving conditions, load, and environment. In the North Shore and Greater Boston area, salt, sand, and seasonal debris can load filters faster, so inspections at oil-change visits are prudent. We can check restriction and advise without overselling.
- Use owner’s manual for the exact interval
- Increase inspection frequency on dusty or salted roads
- Quick checks available during routine service in Danvers
How often should I replace the cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City in Danvers, MA?
Use the Ram owner’s manual schedule for the cabin air filter and adjust for local pollen and road dust.
Cabin filters typically load up faster during spring pollen bursts and leaf-heavy fall months around Danvers and Salem. If you notice weaker airflow or odors, check sooner. We’ll inspect the media and advise based on actual condition, not a one-size-fits-all timeline.
- Consult the manual for factory guidance
- Replace sooner if airflow weakens or odors persist
- Optional alignment with seasonal HVAC service
