Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2025 Kia Telluride?

The 2025 Kia Telluride engine air filter sits inside the intake air box in the engine bay, typically on the passenger side.

This sealed air box connects to the intake ducting before the mass airflow (MAF) sensor. Access generally requires releasing a few clips or screws and lifting the lid to swap the filter. If you prefer a quick, verified install, our Burlington, MA team can inspect the air box and MAF while fitting an OEM-spec filter.

  • Housed in the intake air box ahead of the MAF sensor
  • Accessed by unclipping or unscrewing the air box cover
  • Checked during routine service at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2025 Kia Telluride?

The engine air filter protects the 3.8L V6’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the Telluride’s HVAC for passengers.

The engine filter safeguards performance and longevity by trapping dust before it reaches the throttle body and sensors. The cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality by catching pollen and particulates, which is helpful during New England allergy seasons. Both are serviceable and benefit from periodic inspection based on local driving conditions.

  • Engine filter = combustion air; supports power and efficiency
  • Cabin filter = HVAC air; improves passenger comfort
  • Different locations, different service intervals
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2025 Kia Telluride?

Common signs include reduced power, rougher engine response, lower fuel economy, weak HVAC airflow, and musty cabin odors.

When the Telluride’s engine filter is restricted, the V6 may feel sluggish, rev harder, or idle unevenly. A dirty cabin filter can cause the fan to strain, airflow to diminish, and odors to linger. If you drive Burlington city streets or Route 3/128 regularly, road dust and pollen can accelerate loading — inspect both filters sooner when symptoms appear.

  • Engine: hesitation, poorer MPG, darker filter media
  • Cabin: weak defrost/vent flow, dust on interior vents
  • Visual check of both filters confirms condition
Can I replace the air filter on my 2025 Kia Telluride myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes—engine air filter replacement is typically DIY-friendly; dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and intake/MAF inspections.

Most owners can open the Telluride’s air box and drop in a new filter with basic tools. Cabin filter access is tighter and may require trim removal, so many drivers prefer a professional install. Our Burlington technicians verify the housing seal, check for debris, and confirm MAF sensor condition while installing Kia-spec filters.

  • DIY: engine filter is straightforward with simple tools
  • Dealer: cabin filter access and fitment verified
  • Added value: housing/MAF checks and proper disposal

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2025 Kia Telluride?

The 2025 Kia Telluride cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC intake.

Access usually involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door and sliding the old element out. Because clips and trim can be delicate, many owners opt for a quick professional swap in Burlington. We’ll install a Kia-spec filter and confirm proper airflow and blower operation.
