2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Air Filter in Lynnfield, MA

The engine air filter sits in a sealed intake airbox inside the engine bay, upstream of the turbocharged inline-six.

This enclosure is designed to deliver clean, metered air to the 3.0L I-6 for consistent power and efficiency. Open the airbox carefully to protect sensors and seals, and always install an OEM-spec element for proper fitment. If you prefer professional service, our team can handle the swap during a routine visit—simply schedule service online.

• Airbox is typically secured by clips or screws
• Inspect gasket surfaces for a proper seal
• Avoid disturbing the mass airflow sensor

The engine air filter protects the 3.0L turbo inline-six from debris; the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC.

Under-hood filtration safeguards combustion and sensors, helping the GLS-Class maintain smooth power and fuel economy. The cabin filter targets dust and allergens so passengers enjoy cleaner air. Each filter serves a different system and has its own location and service needs. For peace of mind, we install genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and can bundle both services—check our service specials.

• Engine filter: intake protection and airflow stability
• Cabin filter: HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality
• Different locations, tools, and service intervals

Typical signs include reduced power or mpg and rough idle (engine), plus weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).

On the GLS-Class, an over-saturated engine filter can restrict intake flow to the turbocharged inline-six, dulling throttle response. A dirty cabin filter can impede blower performance and recirculate stale smells. If you notice these symptoms, book a quick inspection and replacement online via our schedule service tool.

• Engine hesitation or louder-than-normal intake sounds
• Visible dirt packed into filter pleats
• HVAC fan works harder but airflow feels weak

The engine filter is generally DIY-friendly; the cabin filter may require glovebox-area trim removal and is often easier at the dealership.

Many owners can open the airbox and swap the engine element if they use an OEM-spec filter and reseat the seal correctly. Cabin filters differ by model and may sit behind the glovebox, where access panels and clips can be delicate. Dealer service adds an intake/MAF visual, housing inspection, and disposal—plus easy online booking.

• Use OEM-spec filters for proper fit and sealing
• Protect sensors and intake ducting during DIY work
• Schedule service for professional installation

Follow the factory maintenance schedule for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class; interval depends on driving conditions and usage.

Mercedes-Benz outlines service timing in the maintenance booklet and digital service records. Dusty routes, frequent short trips, towing, and high pollen exposure can shorten the useful life of the engine filter. When in doubt, ask our advisors to inspect the element during your next visit or book directly online.

• Check the owner’s maintenance booklet for guidance
• Have the filter inspected at routine service
• Use genuine filters to maintain airflow and sealing

Replace the cabin filter per the Mercedes-Benz maintenance booklet; timing varies with HVAC use and local air quality.

Pollen, construction dust, and extended A/C usage can load the microfilter more quickly, reducing airflow and comfort. If you notice foggy windows or stale odors, it’s time to inspect. We can evaluate and replace the cabin filter during a single visit—see our service specials and schedule service.

• Monitor airflow and odors between services
• Request a filter check at seasonal appointments
• Choose OEM filters for consistent filtration

Air filter replacements are completed during a standard service visit at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield, typically within the same appointment window.
