2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Air Filter in Lynnfield, MA

It sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay ahead of the 3.0L inline-6 turbo intake (engine code 6ITCM3.0).

This location lets the filter scrub incoming air before it reaches the turbocharger and mass airflow sensor. On the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE, the airbox lid is fastened with clips or screws for secure sealing. Our Lynnfield team checks the housing gasket and intake ducts during service. If you prefer DIY, use an OEM-spec filter so the airbox seals correctly.
