2011 Dodge Caliber Air Filter in Albuquerque, NM

The engine air filter for the 2011 Dodge Caliber sits in the engine bay inside the air filter housing that serves the 2.0L (1998 cc) inline‑4 intake.

On this front‑wheel‑drive wagon the airbox is accessible from the top of the engine compartment near the front left (passenger) side; access requires releasing clips or screws on the housing. Technicians inspect the housing, intake snorkel, and seal to ensure a proper fit and to prevent unfiltered air entry.

• Filter lives in the sealed airbox in the engine bay.
• Engine is a 2.0L inline‑4 (1998 cc) with a CVT automatic.
• Technician checks housing seals and intake snorkel for damage.

The cabin air filter on the 2011 Dodge Caliber is installed behind the glove box area in the HVAC intake assembly.

Access typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter access panel; some models have a trim panel to pop out before the filter slides out. Our technicians inspect the HVAC housing and blower motor for debris while replacing the filter to restore airflow and reduce dust and pollen in the cabin.

• Filter access is behind the glove box on most models.
• Technician inspects blower housing for leaf or debris buildup.
• Replacement restores HVAC airflow and cabin air quality.

The engine air filter protects the 2.0L combustion intake and helps maintain rated fuel efficiency (23 city / 27 highway), while the cabin air filter conditions air entering the passenger compartment for comfort and allergy control.

The engine filter prevents dust and particles from entering the intake and engine, which affects combustion, emissions, and performance. The cabin filter traps dust, pollen, and odor particles before air reaches passengers. Both are separate components with different mounting locations and service procedures.

• Engine filter filters intake air to protect engine components.
• Cabin filter filters HVAC air for occupants; found behind glove box.
• Replacing both maintains performance (158 hp rating) and cabin comfort.

Common signs include reduced throttle response from the rated 158 hp, lower fuel economy than the listed 23 city / 27 highway, rough idle, or weak HVAC airflow and musty cabin odors.

A restricted engine air filter can reduce power and responsiveness, increase fuel use, and may trigger a diagnostic code if airflow measurements deviate; a clogged cabin filter reduces blower output and can cause odors. Technicians diagnose by visual inspection and airflow checks.

• Engine: reduced power or rough idle compared to expected performance.
• Fuel economy: noticeably worse than factory 23 city / 27 highway figures.
• Cabin: weak HVAC airflow or musty smells from the vents.
