2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Air Filter in Lynnfield, MA

The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox within the engine bay, while the cabin microfilter is typically behind the glovebox.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class uses a dedicated intake airbox to feed its 3.0L inline-6 turbocharged engine, helping protect the MAF and turbo from debris. The cabin filter is positioned upstream of the HVAC blower to clean air entering the passenger compartment. If you prefer professional service near Lynnfield or Greater Boston, schedule an appointment and we’ll verify both filter locations on your CLS.

The CLS uses two filters: one engine intake filter for combustion and one cabin microfilter for passenger air through the HVAC system.

The engine filter protects the 3.0L inline-6 turbo by trapping dust before it reaches the intake and sensors, supporting performance and efficiency. The cabin filter cleans outside air before it enters the interior, helping reduce dust and odors. Replacing both on time preserves acceleration feel and keeps the cabin comfortable for commutes around Lynnfield and the North Shore.

• Engine filter: safeguards intake, turbo, and MAF from debris
• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC performance
