Where is the engine air filter located on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class engine air filter sits under the hood inside the sealed airbox that feeds the twin-turbo V8 intake; the cabin filter is behind the glove box.
The airbox opens to reveal the engine filter element; careful handling of clips and seals helps ensure a proper fit and tight seal. The cabin microfilter is typically accessed by removing the glove box liner or adjacent trim for the HVAC housing. If you prefer professional service in Sudbury, our team can perform both replacements using OEM-spec parts.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for you and your passengers.
On the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a clean engine filter helps the twin-turbo V8 breathe consistently for smooth power delivery. The cabin filter traps dust and allergens before air reaches the vents, supporting clearer glass and fresher in-cabin air. Replacing both on schedule maintains performance and comfort across Greater Boston drives.
