2016 Chevrolet Impala Air Filter

It sits in the engine bay inside a rectangular airbox near the front driver-side fender.

On the 2016 Chevrolet Impala with the 2.5L inline-4 (engine code 4INAG2.5), the airbox is positioned ahead of the engine and draws cool air from the fender/upper grille area. The cover typically secures with clips and a hose clamp on the intake duct. If you’re unsure, stop by our Murray location and we’ll point it out during a quick visual check.

• Panel-style filter housed in a rectangular black plastic airbox
• Access often requires unclipping the lid and loosening one intake clamp
• Cabin filter (for comparison) is separate and located behind the glove box

Chevrolet publishes the engine air filter interval in the owner’s manual for the 2016 Chevrolet Impala.

Intervals vary with driving conditions, so follow the manual and have the filter checked during routine services in Murray, especially if you commute across I-15 or drive canyon roads. Dust, road debris, and seasonal conditions can load the filter sooner. We can inspect and document its condition at each visit.

• Follow the owner’s manual interval for your specific usage
• Ask for a quick check during any scheduled visit: schedule service
• Replace sooner if you notice reduced power or MPG

The 2016 Chevrolet Impala’s cabin filter interval is specified in the owner’s manual; replace sooner if airflow weakens or odors develop.

Cabin filters load faster during high-pollen periods and with frequent stop-and-go driving around the Salt Lake Valley. If your HVAC fan seems louder than usual or airflow drops, it’s time to check the cabin filter. We’ll inspect and replace it with an OEM-spec element upon request.

• Manual-specified interval varies by conditions and usage
• Watch for weak defrost/AC airflow or musty smells
• See current service specials for potential savings

The engine air filter protects the 2.5L intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

Under the hood, the panel-style engine filter keeps debris out of the Impala’s inline-4, supporting power (195 hp) and efficiency. Inside the dash, the cabin filter traps dust and pollen for cleaner air at your vents. Both are vital, but they do different jobs and live in different places.

• Engine filter: located in the airbox; impacts performance and fuel economy
• Cabin filter: behind the glove box; impacts HVAC airflow and odor
• We install OEM-spec filters for correct fit and filtration

Look for reduced power, lower MPG, or rough idle (engine) and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin).

On a 2016 Chevrolet Impala, a dirty engine filter restricts intake air, which can dull throttle response and hurt fuel economy. A clogged cabin filter strains the blower motor and reduces defrost and AC performance. If you notice these symptoms around Murray, book a quick inspection.

• Engine: sluggish acceleration, darker filter media, unusual intake sound
• Cabin: louder fan noise, hazy windshield, persistent dust inside
• Easy to check during any visit: schedule an appointment

Yes—the engine filter is DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter often requires glove box removal and careful reassembly.

For your 2016 Chevrolet Impala, our air filter service focuses on fitment, sealing, and system health. We begin with a visual inspection of the engine airbox, intake ducting, and clamps. If replacement is needed, we install a genuine OEM-spec engine filter and verify the housing seal and duct connections. Next, we inspect the cabin air filter behind the glove box for loading, debris, and odor; when replacement is required, we fit an OEM-spec cabin element and confirm HVAC door operation and airflow. A visual mass-airflow (MAF) sensor check is included, and we document the condition of removed parts upon request.
