Where is the engine air filter located on a 2011 Dodge Charger?

The engine air filter on a 2011 Dodge Charger is housed in the plastic airbox in the engine bay, usually on the passenger side near the front of the engine compartment.

On the 2011 Dodge Charger you can access the engine air filter by opening the hood and locating the rectangular plastic airbox; the cover is held by clips or screws. This placement provides direct routing from the front grille to the intake and is standard for the 5.7L V8 configuration. Inspecting the housing for debris and checking the seal is recommended during any filter service.

  • Airbox sits in the engine bay, front passenger side area.
  • Cover secured with clips or screws for quick access.
  • Inspect housing for cracks or debris when replacing filter.
Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2011 Dodge Charger?

The cabin air filter on a 2011 Dodge Charger is typically located behind the glove box or under the passenger-side dash access panel.

Access usually requires lowering the glove box or removing a small trim panel to reach the filter housing. Cabin filters clean incoming HVAC air and trapping pollen, dust, and road debris; failing to inspect it can reduce airflow and increase HVAC odors. Our technicians will show the location during inspection so owners understand how the filter is seated.

  • Usually behind the glove box or an under-dash panel.
  • Access may require glove-box removal or fastener release.
  • Inspect the housing and seals for proper fit during service.
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2011 Dodge Charger?

The engine air filter protects the 5.7L V8's intake system and combustion, while the cabin air filter protects the passenger compartment HVAC airflow and interior air quality.

For the 2011 Dodge Charger the engine filter prevents dust and debris from entering the engine, which helps maintain horsepower and fuel economy; the cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and road particles before air enters the passenger space. Both filters serve distinct systems and should be inspected separately during routine maintenance to avoid cross-system symptoms.

  • Engine filter: combustion intake protection, affects power and economy.
  • Cabin filter: HVAC airflow and odor control for occupants.
  • Replace or inspect both during scheduled service to maintain performance and comfort.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2011 Dodge Charger?

Common signs on a 2011 Dodge Charger include reduced engine response or power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

If your 2011 Dodge Charger shows slower acceleration or decreased MPG, inspect the engine air filter and intake path. For cabin-filter symptoms, reduced vent flow and persistent odors indicate replacement. Technicians at the dealership will check both filters and related components to determine whether replacement is necessary.

  • Engine: reduced power, rough idle, or lower fuel economy.
  • Cabin: weak HVAC airflow, dust inside vents, or musty smells.
  • Inspection can reveal intake buildup or a saturated cabin filter core.
Can I replace the air filter on my 2011 Dodge Charger myself, or should Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque do it?
