Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
It’s in the engine bay, housed in sealed airbox assemblies ahead of the 3.0L twin-turbo V6.
The S-Class uses panel-style filter elements inside airboxes that feed the intake. Access typically involves unclipping or unscrewing the airbox lid and lifting out the element. The cabin filter is separate, typically positioned behind the glove box within the HVAC case.
- Open the hood to reach the airbox covers for engine filter service
- Use OEM-spec elements to ensure proper sealing and filtration
- Cabin filter location is typically behind the glove box/HVAC housing
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
The engine air filter protects the 3.0L V6s intake from debris; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the S-Class HVAC for passengers.
Both are essential but serve different systems. A clean engine filter supports power and fuel economy, while a clean cabin filter improves airflow, odor control, and defogging. Using Genuine Mercedes-Benz filters preserves designed fit and performance.
- Engine filter: under-hood airbox assemblies feeding the intake
- Cabin filter: inside the HVAC case, commonly behind the glove box
- OEM-spec materials maintain filtration efficiency and seal
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
Engine filter: reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle; cabin filter: weak airflow, window fogging, or musty odor.
Restricted intake can also contribute to hesitation or a check-engine light if the MAF signal is affected. Inside the cabin, a saturated filter forces the fan to work harder and can worsen allergies. If you notice these symptoms, book an inspection in Sudbury.
- Sluggish acceleration or surging under load
- HVAC fan loud but airflow feels weak
