11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Hyundai Palisade?
The 2020 Hyundai Palisade’s engine air filter sits in the airbox on the driver-side of the 3.8L V6 engine bay, while the cabin filter is behind the glove box.
This layout makes routine inspections straightforward in Auburn’s varied driving conditions. The engine air filter protects the 3.8L intake from dust, sand, and winter road grit, and the cabin filter cleans HVAC air for passengers across seasons. If you prefer expert help, our technicians can inspect and replace both filters during one visit—just schedule service.
- Engine filter: rectangular airbox, driver-side of the V6.
- Cabin filter: accessed behind the glove box.
- Housing seals and clips should be checked for proper fit.
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Hyundai Palisade?
The engine air filter protects the 3.8L V6s intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you and your passengers breathe.

Central Massachusetts pollen and winter road conditions can load both filters faster than highway-only driving. Our team can check both during the same appointment.

- Cabin filter: HVAC airflow and interior air quality.
- Both are serviceable without disassembling major components.
