How often should I replace the cabin air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class?

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class?
The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay, while the cabin filter is typically housed behind the glove box on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.
The engine airbox opens via clips or fasteners to access the panel-style filter that feeds the 3.0L inline-6 turbo. The cabin microfilter is mounted in the HVAC intake path behind interior trim. If you prefer not to remove panels, our team can perform both replacements quickly.
- Engine filter: sealed airbox in the engine bay
- Cabin filter: behind glove box/HVAC access panel
- Professional replacement available in Sudbury
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class?
The engine air filter cleans air entering the 3.0L inline-6 turbo for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for you and your passengers.
Keeping the engine filter clean helps maintain performance and fuel economy, while a fresh cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC efficiency. Both are serviceable items with OEM replacements available at Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury.
- Engine filter: protects intake and sensors
- Cabin filter: reduces dust, allergens, and odors
- Genuine Mercedes-Benz replacements available
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class?
Engine filter symptoms include reduced power, lower fuel economy, or rough idle; cabin filter symptoms include weak HVAC airflow or musty odors.
If you feel the GLS-Class hesitate under load or the climate control struggles to push air, the respective filter may be saturated. A quick inspection can confirm condition and prevent downstream issues like contaminated MAF readings or blower strain.
- Engine: sluggish acceleration or poorer MPG
- Cabin: diminished airflow or persistent odors
- Schedule service for a same-visit inspection
Can I replace the air filter on my 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class myself, or should Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury do it?
Yes—engine filter replacement is generally DIY-friendly on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, while the cabin filter often requires glove-box trim removal.
DIY owners can handle the engine airbox with basic tools, but cabin access can be tighter. Dealer service adds the correct OEM-spec filter, an intake/MAF check, and proper housing sealing to avoid unmetered air.
