2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Air Filter in Lynnfield, MA

The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay; the cabin filter is typically located behind the glove box.

This SUV’s 3.5L V6 (engine code 6VNAG3.5) draws intake air through a panel-style filter housed under the hood, while the cabin microfilter is positioned in the HVAC path for passenger air. Access to the engine airbox is straightforward; cabin filter access may involve trim or panel removal. If you prefer professional care near Lynnfield, our team can handle both quickly.
