The cabin air filter is behind the glove box or under the passenger-side dash near the HVAC housing.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 3.6L V6; the cabin air filter cleans air before it reaches occupants through the HVAC system.
Both filters protect different systems: the engine filter prevents dirt from entering combustion chambers and protecting sensors, while the cabin filter removes dust, pollen and odors from airflow to the van’s passengers. Replacing each on its recommended schedule preserves horsepower and cabin comfort.
- Engine filter protects intake, MAF and engine components
- Cabin filter protects HVAC blower and passenger air quality
- Replacement benefits include restored airflow and sensor protection
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van?
Signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy and rough idle, plus weak HVAC airflow or a musty cabin odor.
On a 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van, a restricted engine filter can reduce the 276 hp available at higher RPMs and affect throttle response; a clogged cabin filter reduces blower output and can allow odors into the cabin. If you notice any of these symptoms, have the filters inspected.
- Engine symptoms: reduced power, sluggish acceleration, rough idle
- Fuel economy may drop when intake is restricted
- Cabin symptoms: weak HVAC airflow, unpleasant or musty smells
Can I replace the air filter on my 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van myself, or should Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque do it?

Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque includes OEM-spec filters, a visual MAF/intake check, and proper disposal.

2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van Air Filter Specifications
The 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van ships with a 3.6L V6 (engine code 6VNAG3.6) that uses a paper engine intake element and a separate cabin/HVAC filter for occupant air quality. Engine intake filtration protects the MAF sensor and throttle components; the cabin element filters pollen and dust from the HVAC stream. The vehicle’s documented horsepower (276 hp at 6400 rpm) and torque figures (250 lb-ft at 4400 rpm) are reasons to keep the intake clean: a restricted air path can affect throttle response under load.
Common callouts for Promaster owners include accelerated filter loading in dusty environments and possible odor transfer into the cabin when the cabin filter is saturated. For accurate OEM part numbers, bring the VIN to service so we can supply the correct engine and cabin filter references. Bring your 2022 Ram Promaster Cargo Van to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque in Albuquerque for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
