2020 Chevrolet Malibu Air Filter

On the 2020 Chevrolet Malibu, the engine air filter sits inside the underhood air box on the passenger side of the engine bay.

This sealed air box feeds the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 and is designed for quick access during routine maintenance. Our Murray service team inspects the air box, ducts, and clamps to ensure a tight seal after replacement. If you prefer professional installation, you can schedule a same-day visit online.

• Passenger-side underhood air box with clips or screws
• Feeds the Malibu’s turbocharged intake tract
• Schedule service for inspection and replacement

The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.

Access typically involves releasing the glove box stops and opening a small access panel. Our technicians in Murray replace the element and verify the access door seals properly so airflow and defrost performance remain consistent on Wasatch Front commutes.

The engine air filter protects the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

Both filters safeguard different systems: one preserves engine performance, the other improves in-cabin air quality. During service in Murray, we check each filter’s condition and advise based on actual inspection, not guesswork.

• Engine filter: blocks dust/debris from combustion air
• Cabin filter: traps pollen, dust, and odors for comfort
• Separate inspection/replacement timing based on condition

Typical engine filter clog symptoms include reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, and a rough idle.

If the Malibu’s intake is restricted, the turbocharged 2.0L may feel sluggish and the engine control module may adjust fueling in ways you can feel at the pump. In Murray, we can confirm condition with a visual inspection and replace only if needed.

• Slower throttle response, especially on freeway merges
• More frequent fuel stops than normal
• Visible dirt or darkened pleats on the filter element

Common cabin filter signs are weak A/C or heat airflow, persistent window fogging, and musty odors from the vents.

A dirty microfilter can reduce HVAC performance and cabin freshness on daily Salt Lake City commutes. Our team can check the element behind the glove box, replace if needed, and confirm the access door seals properly.

• Reduced blower airflow at common fan settings
• Lingering odors when climate control starts
• Faster fogging, slower defog performance

Yes—many owners can DIY the engine filter, while the cabin filter often requires glove-box removal; our dealership also inspects the intake and MAF.

If you prefer hands-off service, our OEM-certified technicians handle both filters, verify seals, and dispose of the old parts. Book a visit online, and check current specials before you come in.
