Engine Air Filter for Dodge Challenger, Charger & Chrysler 300 (2011-2023)

An Engine Air Filter for the Challenger, Charger, and Chrysler 300

This is a direct-fit engine air filter built for the 2011-2023 Dodge Challenger, 2011-2023 Dodge Charger, and 2011-2023 Chrysler 300, cross-referenced to OE number 04861746AA. If your car feels a little sluggish off the line, fuel economy has dipped, or it's simply been a while since anyone's checked what's inside the airbox, a dirty engine air filter is one of the easiest things to rule out first.

Why the Same Filter Covers All Three Chrysler Group Models

The Challenger, Charger, and 300 all share Chrysler's LX/LD platform architecture along with a common family of V6 and V8 engines across this generation, and the engine bay layout and intake tract are consistent across all three regardless of whether the car wears a two-door muscle car body, a four-door sedan, or a formal Chrysler grille. Because the air filter housing is identical across these related platforms, the same filter with the same OE number fits all three nameplates across more than a decade of production.

Compatibility

Fits the 2011-2023 Dodge Challenger, 2011-2023 Dodge Charger, and 2011-2023 Chrysler 300. Because these models were offered with several different V6 and V8 engine options across this production run, it's worth confirming your specific engine against the OE number above before ordering, or contacting us with your VIN if you're unsure.

Signs Your Engine Air Filter Needs Replacing

A dirty or clogged air filter typically shows up as reduced acceleration, a noticeable drop in fuel economy, a rougher idle than usual, or a check engine light in some cases if airflow restriction becomes severe enough to affect the engine's sensors. Because the filter's only job is to keep dirt and debris out of the engine while still letting enough air through for proper combustion, a filter that's overdue for replacement makes the engine work harder to breathe, which is exactly what shows up as sluggish acceleration and reduced mileage.

Why Regular Replacement Matters on a Performance-Oriented Engine

The V6 and V8 engines in the Challenger, Charger, and 300 depend on consistent airflow to make their rated power, and a restricted filter has a more noticeable effect on a larger-displacement engine pulling in more air per cycle than it does on a smaller one. Because the filter is designed to be replaced on a routine schedule rather than only after something fails outright, keeping a fresh filter in place protects the engine's internals from abrasive debris while helping preserve the throttle response these models are known for.

Installation Notes

Replacing this filter means locating the air filter housing under the hood, releasing the retaining clips or screws holding the housing lid closed, lifting out the old filter, wiping down the inside of the housing, and setting the new filter in place before closing the lid. Because the filter is shaped to fit the housing only one way, checking that any airflow markings on its frame are facing the correct direction before closing everything back up is worth the extra few seconds.
