2016 Ram 1500 Air Filter: Specs & Service

Dust, debris, and road conditions can load a filter before the scheduled interval, particularly for vehicles driven in dusty environments. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria can inspect the filter housing and compare its condition with the maintenance schedule. A restricted filter can reduce airflow, fuel economy, and throttle response.

• Manufacturer interval: every 30,000 miles
• Inspection includes the engine filter housing
• Replacement uses a filter matched to the engine specification

The housing protects the filter while directing air toward the engine intake. The cabin air filter serves a different purpose and is typically accessed behind the glove box. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria can inspect both filter locations during one visit in Peoria, AZ.

• Engine filter: engine-bay air filter housing
• Cabin filter: typically behind the glove box
• Both filters can be checked during scheduled service

These filters are separate components with different jobs. A restricted engine filter may contribute to dull throttle response or lower fuel economy, while a restricted cabin filter may reduce HVAC airflow or create a dusty or musty smell. Both are included in the air filter inspection process at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.

• Engine filter: supports clean airflow for combustion
• Cabin filter: filters air entering the HVAC system
• Symptoms differ according to the affected filter
