It sits inside a sealed airbox in the engine bay ahead of the 5.0L supercharged V8.

The airbox draws outside air through a snorkel and feeds it through the mass airflow (MAF) sensor before the intake. Access typically involves releasing clips or screws to open the housing, then removing the old element. Do not confuse this with the cabin filter, which is part of the HVAC system and not in the engine bay.

• Engine: 5.0L V8 Supercharged (engine code 8VSCG5.0)
• Location: Sealed engine-bay airbox before the MAF
• Tip: Ensure the airbox lid seals evenly to prevent unmetered air

The engine air filter protects the 5.0L V8 intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC.

These serve separate systems: the engine filter supports performance, fuel economy, and emissions by keeping debris out of the intake. The cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality by trapping dust and pollen. They are replaced independently and live in different locations within the vehicle.

• Engine filter: Engine bay airbox, upstream of the MAF
• Cabin filter: HVAC system (commonly accessed near/behind the glove box)
• Use genuine Land Rover media for correct fit and filtration

Four common signs include reduced power, worse MPG, rough idle, and musty HVAC odors.

A restricted engine filter can dull the response of the 510-hp supercharged V8 and lower fuel economy. A saturated cabin filter can reduce fan airflow and cause stale smells. If you notice these symptoms, schedule a professional inspection to confirm whether the engine or cabin element is the cause.

• Symptom check: power loss or surging during acceleration
• Cabin clue: weak airflow or persistent odors from vents
• Schedule service for a quick diagnostic and OEM replacement

Yes—the engine air filter is typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter sits behind the glove box and may require trim removal.

DIY owners can often open the airbox and swap the engine element with basic tools. The cabin microfilter may involve tighter access and clips that benefit from care to avoid interior scuffs. Dealer service adds an intake housing check, a visual MAF inspection, and correct OEM filter fitment.

• Use OEM-spec media to preserve intake seal and flow

• Address: 83 Boston Post Road (Route 20), Sudbury, MA 01776
• OEM-spec fit for L405 platform components
• See service specials before scheduling

The official interval is listed in the 2017 Range Rover Owner’s Handbook and service schedule.

Driving conditions determine how quickly the filter loads with debris. Frequent construction zones, dusty roads, or heavy pollen can shorten the interval and warrant earlier replacement. If you notice performance changes or visible dirt in the element, book an inspection.

• Follow the factory maintenance guide for your VIN
• Have the intake and MAF visually checked during service
• Schedule service for an OEM-spec inspection

The factory replacement interval is specified in the 2017 Range Rover Owner’s Handbook.

HVAC filters typically load faster with frequent stop‑and‑go driving or during heavy pollen seasons, which can reduce airflow and introduce odors. If you experience weak ventilation or persistent smells, a fresh OEM microfilter usually restores cabin comfort.

• Check airflow from vents and listen for blower strain
• Inspect and replace with genuine Land Rover media
• Book online: schedule service

Air filter replacement is completed in a single visit at 83 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA 01776.

Our air filter service for the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover begins with a targeted intake inspection: we open the sealed airbox, check the condition of the element, and look for debris or moisture in the housing. If replacement is needed, we install a genuine Land Rover engine filter, confirm the lid gasket seats evenly, and perform a visual mass airflow (MAF) sensor check. For cabin air quality, we access the HVAC microfilter (commonly near or behind the glove box), assess dust loading, and install a new OEM microfilter when required. We finish by verifying airflow and documenting the service. To plan your visit or coordinate with other maintenance needs, use our online tool to schedule service.

The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover uses two distinct filtration elements: an engine intake filter designed for the 5.0L supercharged V8 (engine code 8VSCG5.0) and a separate cabin microfilter for the HVAC system. Genuine Land Rover filters are engineered to the L405 platform’s dimensions for proper sealing and airflow. Replace them per the intervals in your Owner’s Handbook and service schedule, and consider earlier inspection after dusty drives or heavy pollen exposure. Common performance issues from a restricted engine filter include sluggish throttle response and lower fuel efficiency, while a saturated cabin element reduces vent airflow and can cause odors. Bring your 2017 Land Rover Range Rover to Land Rover Sudbury in Sudbury for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.

Conveniently located at 83 Boston Post Road (Route 20) in Sudbury, Land Rover Sudbury serves Metrowest Boston and beyond—including Worcester, Framingham, Newton, Waltham, and Winchester.
