Inspect the engine air filter at least every 12 months or sooner when you drive frequently on dusty Albuquerque roads.

The 5.7L V8 in the 2013 Dodge Challenger benefits from regular inspections because high dust loads shorten filter life. If you regularly drive unpaved roads or travel during New Mexico’s dusty seasons, check the filter more often and follow any interval printed in the owner’s manual.

• Inspect filter visually for dirt, tears or staining
• Replace sooner when dust or performance loss appears
• Dealer inspection includes intake housing and sensor check

Replace or inspect the cabin air filter annually, and more often if you notice reduced HVAC airflow or increased dust inside the car.

Cabin filters trap pollen, dust and particulates common in Albuquerque; a clogged cabin filter reduces comfort and HVAC efficiency in your 2013 Dodge Challenger. Regular replacement keeps ventilation crisp and helps the HVAC system run with lower effort.

• Check for reduced airflow, odors or visible debris
• Replace more often in high‑pollen months or dusty conditions
• Dealer replacement includes a visual HVAC inspection

The engine air filter for the 2013 Dodge Challenger is located in a rectangular housing in the engine bay, typically on the passenger side near the front of the compartment.

You can access the housing by opening the hood and unclipping or unscrewing the airbox cover; the filter itself is a replaceable element inside that box. The service team in Albuquerque will remove the housing, inspect the filter and the intake for debris during a scheduled visit.

• Located in the engine bay airbox (passenger‑side/front area)
• Requires simple clips or screws to access
• Dealer checks intake housing and MAF sensor during service

• Cabin filter: improves in‑car air quality and HVAC efficiency
• Dealer inspects both and can replace either or both during one visit

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy and weaker HVAC airflow or musty cabin odors.

• Cabin: weak airflow, unpleasant or musty odors, visible debris
• Dealer inspection pinpoints the cause and recommends replacement
