Where is the engine air filter located on a 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

The engine air filter sits in the right-side airbox in the engine bay, and the cabin filter is positioned behind the glove box.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class uses a panel-style engine filter that feeds the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8. Access is through the airbox cover clips. The cabin filter is part of the HVAC intake and is typically accessed by removing the glove box panel. If you prefer professional installation, schedule an appointment in Sudbury for careful re-sealing of the airbox and a quick cabin filter swap.

  • Open the hood and locate the right-side airbox on the 5.5L V8
  • Release the metal clips and lift the cover to access the engine filter
  • Cabin filter access is through the glove box area with an interior panel
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

The engine air filter protects the 5.5L V8s intake, while the cabin filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

For the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the engine filter safeguards the mass air flow path and helps maintain smooth power delivery from the V8. The cabin filter captures dust, pollen, and fine particulates before they enter the interior. Replacing both on schedule preserves performance and interior air quality, especially around Greater Bostons urban traffic and seasonal pollen.

  • Engine filter: traps dust before it reaches the intake and MAF sensor
  • Cabin filter: reduces allergens, soot, and odors in the HVAC stream
  • Each filter serves a different system with different media and placement
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

Typical signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty cabin odors.

In the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a dirty engine filter can dull throttle response and strain the 5.5L V8, while a blocked cabin filter can lead to foggy windows and higher blower settings. Greater Bostons dust, road grit, and spring pollen can load filters faster. If you notice these symptoms, book an inspection in Sudbury for a quick confirmation and replacement.

  • Hesitation or surging under acceleration (engine filter)
  • Reduced HVAC airflow or persistent odors (cabin filter)
  • Visibly dark or debris-laden filter media
