Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?

The 2020 Dodge Challenger’s engine air filter sits inside the sealed intake airbox in the engine bay, ahead of the engine.

This airbox location lets the 5.7L V8 draw cooler air while protecting the filter from splash and debris. Access typically involves unclipping or unfastening the airbox lid, inspecting the filter media, and reseating the housing seal for a proper fit. If you prefer a professional inspection, our Denver team uses OEM-spec parts and checks the intake ducting during replacement.

  • Engine air filter: inside the intake airbox in the engine compartment
  • Lid retained by clips or screws; seal must be reseated evenly
  • Technicians inspect ducts for cracks and secure MAF connections
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?

The 2020 Dodge Challenger cabin air filter is typically located behind or near the glove box within the HVAC intake path.

This position allows efficient filtration of outside air before it enters the cabin. Access usually involves opening the glove box, releasing its stops, and removing a small service cover to slide out the filter. Our Denver service department can replace it and verify blower performance and blend door operation during the same visit.

  • Common access through glove box area to the HVAC intake
  • Service cover retains the rectangular cabin filter element
  • Technicians check airflow and odors after installation
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?

The engine air filter protects the 5.7L V8’s intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans air for passengers through the HVAC system.

On the 2020 Dodge Challenger, the engine filter supports power and fuel economy by keeping particulates out of the combustion air path. The cabin filter reduces dust, pollen, and odors that enter the interior. In Denver’s changing seasons, both filters work hard—engine for performance, cabin for comfort.

  • Engine filter: in intake airbox; affects performance and efficiency
  • Cabin filter: in HVAC path; improves interior air quality
  • Both are serviceable and benefit from OEM-spec media
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Dodge Challenger?

Common signs include reduced power and mpg (engine filter) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

For the 5.7L V8, a restricted engine filter can cause sluggish throttle response, rough idle, or an illuminated warning due to improper airflow readings. A dirty cabin filter often shows up as noisy fans with low airflow, lingering odors, or increased window fogging. Colorado dust and spring pollen can accelerate loading.

  • Engine: hesitation, lower fuel economy, uneven idle
  • Cabin: reduced airflow, odor, quicker fogging
  • Visual check: darkened, debris-laden filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Dodge Challenger myself, or should the dealer do it?

Many owners can DIY the engine filter, while dealer service ensures OEM-spec parts and intake/MAF inspections for both filters.

The engine filter is typically straightforward with basic tools. The cabin filter may require trim removal and careful reseating of covers to avoid rattles or airflow noise. At LHM Dodge Ram Denver, technicians install Mopar-spec filters, check the intake housing, and document results—useful for maintenance records.

  • DIY-friendly engine filter; cabin filter can be more involved
  • Dealer adds intake seal checks and MAF visual inspection
  • OEM-spec media helps maintain designed airflow

2020 Dodge Challenger Air Filter Specifications

The 2020 Dodge Challenger’s 5.7L V8 relies on an OEM-spec engine air filter sized for the HEMI intake path and a rectangular cabin air filter for the HVAC system. Mopar Genuine Parts provide the correct media density, pleat geometry, and gasket fit to maintain designed airflow, throttle response, and interior air quality. Always follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual; Denver’s dust, wildfire particulates, and pollen seasons can increase loading, so periodic inspections are wise between scheduled services. If you notice reduced power, lower mpg, weak HVAC airflow, or musty odors, have both filters checked promptly.
