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

Follow the factory ASSYST Plus maintenance indicator—it sets the engine air filter interval for the 2020 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class.

The SLC-Class uses a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4, and Mercedes-Benz ASSYST Plus determines service timing based on driving conditions. If you drive frequently on Route 1 or in stop-and-go Boston traffic, the filter may load up faster. We confirm the interval against your maintenance booklet and inspect actual filter condition during each visit.

It sits in a sealed airbox within the engine bay on the 2.0L inline-4; the cabin microfilter is located behind the glove box.

The engine filter resides in a panel-style housing designed to feed clean air to the turbocharger. The cabin filter mounts in the HVAC intake and requires careful orientation to maintain airflow direction. Our technicians inspect housings and seals to prevent unmetered air leaks.

The engine air filter protects the turbocharged intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you and your passenger breathe.

The engine element shields the mass airflow sensor and turbo from dust that can affect performance. The cabin filter targets fine particles and odors to maintain clear, comfortable ventilation. Replacing both on schedule preserves drivability and in-cabin air quality.
