The engine air filter on the 2017 Dodge Durango is mounted in the engine bay inside the upper intake/airbox assembly adjacent to the 3.6L V6 intake tract.

On most 2017 Dodge Durango models the airbox sits toward the front of the engine compartment and is secured with clips or screws for quick access. Inspecting or replacing the filter usually requires opening the airbox and checking for heavy dust, oil, or debris that could reduce airflow to the 3.6L V6. Technicians also check the intake housing and MAF sensor while the airbox is open.

• Engine bay airbox near front of engine compartment
• Accessible by releasing clips or a few fasteners
• Technician inspects intake housing and MAF while open

The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake system and combustion on the 3.6L V6, while the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from dust, pollen, and debris.

The engine filter sits in the airbox feeding the throttle and combustion chambers; its main job is to stop particles that can abrade or foul engine components. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box or HVAC plenum and traps pollen, dust, and road debris before air enters the passenger compartment. Both filters affect comfort and component life but serve different systems.

• Engine filter: protects intake and engine components
• Cabin filter: protects HVAC system and passenger air quality
• Different locations and replacement procedures

Common signs include reduced engine power or acceleration, decreased fuel economy for the 3.6L V6, rough idle or hesitation, and for the cabin filter, weak HVAC airflow or musty odors.

If you notice the Durango feels sluggish under load, or you see blackened filter media when inspected, the engine air filter may be restricting flow. For HVAC issues, reduced cabin airflow, stale or musty smells, and increased dust inside the cabin point to a clogged cabin filter. Technicians will inspect both filters and the intake/MAC systems to confirm causes.

• Engine: reduced power, worse mpg, rough idle
• Cabin: weak airflow, odors, visible dirt on filter
• Inspection includes MAF/intake check and filter condition

Many owners can replace the engine air filter themselves; the cabin filter may require glove-box access and some trim removal, so dealer service is advised if you prefer an inspection and OEM-spec parts.
