Where are the engine and cabin air filters on a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse?

The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse engine air filter sits in the under-hood airbox, and the cabin air filter is behind the glove box.

The engine filter lives inside a rectangular airbox connected to the intake ducting for the 3.6L V6. The cabin filter slides into an HVAC access slot typically reached by lowering the glove box and removing a small access panel. If you prefer expert help in Murray, UT, our GM-certified team can confirm fitment and sealing during the same visit.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse?

The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 3.6L V6, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

These two filters do different jobs: one protects internal engine components from dust and debris; the other protects you and your HVAC system from particulates and odors. Using OEM-spec filters helps maintain performance and airflow on Utah19s highways and can reduce unwanted cabin smells.

  • Engine filter: shields the intake and mass airflow path from debris
  • Cabin filter: improves interior air quality and helps HVAC efficiency
  • OEM-spec components available at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse?

Common signs include reduced power and lower fuel economy (engine) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).

On the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse, a dirty engine air filter can cause sluggish acceleration or a rough idle as the 3.6L V6 struggles for air. A clogged cabin filter can make the fan feel weak and allow stale smells to linger. If you notice these symptoms around Salt Lake City, plan an inspection to prevent performance and comfort issues.

  • Engine: hesitation, rough idle, poorer MPG compared with your normal baseline
  • Cabin: diminished airflow from vents, persistent dust or odors
