Where is the engine air filter located on a 2012 Chrysler 300?

It’s in the engine bay inside the airbox near the passenger-side front of the compartment.

The 2012 Chrysler 300’s 5.7L V8 draws intake air through this sealed housing; keeping it clean helps maintain throttle response and fuel economy on Tucson roads. Access is straightforward for inspection or replacement. If you’d like professional installation with OEM parts, book a visit at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson.

  • Open airbox clips and loosen the intake hose clamp to lift the cover
  • Remove the old filter and wipe debris from the housing
  • Install a genuine Mopar filter and resecure the cover
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2012 Chrysler 300?

It’s behind the glove box in the HVAC housing, accessed by lowering the glove box.

The cabin filter scrubs incoming air for the 2012 Chrysler 300’s interior, which is helpful during Tucson’s dust and pollen seasons. Access typically involves releasing glove box stops and removing a small access panel. Our technicians can replace it quickly with a Mopar filter that fits the HVAC tray correctly.

  • Lower the glove box to reveal the HVAC access door
  • Slide out the old filter; note airflow direction
  • Install a Mopar cabin filter and secure the panel
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2012 Chrysler 300?

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

On the 2012 Chrysler 300, the engine filter lives in the under-hood airbox, shielding combustion components from dust common around Tucson. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box to reduce particulates and odors inside. Both are serviced with genuine Mopar elements at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson.

  • Engine filter: under-hood airbox (combustion air)
  • Cabin filter: behind glove box (passenger air)
  • OEM Mopar filters ensure proper fit and airflow
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2012 Chrysler 300?

The three most common signs are reduced power, worse fuel economy, and rough idle or hesitation.

For the 2012 Chrysler 300’s V8, a dirty engine filter can restrict airflow on hot, dusty Tucson drives. In the cabin, a clogged filter often shows as weak HVAC airflow or musty odors. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an inspection and OEM replacement.

  • Engine: sluggish acceleration, frequent downshifts
  • Cabin: noisy fan with limited airflow, dusty smell
  • Visible dirt or darkened pleats on the removed filter
Can I replace the air filter on my 2012 Chrysler 300 myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes—the engine filter is usually DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter needs glove box access; the dealer adds intake and MAF checks with Mopar parts.

Many owners of the 2012 Chrysler 300 can handle the engine filter at home. The cabin filter requires trim handling and careful orientation. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson, we install genuine Mopar filters and include visual inspections that help prevent issues.
