The engine air filter is inside a rectangular plastic housing in the engine bay on the passenger side, with a large intake hose feeding the throttle body.
This article explains where to find the engine air filter, how to identify the air box, and how to replace the filter if needed.
Engine air filter location
On most 2014 Silverado models (1500, with various V8 and V6 options), the engine air filter sits in a square-to-rectangular plastic box toward the front of the engine bay on the passenger side, near the fender. A thick intake hose runs from the front of the box to the throttle body. The lid is typically secured with clips or screws.
What you’ll see
Look for a black plastic housing with a removable lid. The attached intake hose will be connected to the side of the box and route toward the engine. The filter sits inside the box and is oriented with arrows on the filter indicating airflow toward the throttle body.
To replace the filter, follow these steps:
- Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Open the hood and locate the air filter housing on the passenger side of the engine bay near the fender.
- Release the housing clips or remove the screws securing the lid, then lift the lid to expose the filter inside.
- Carefully remove the old filter and note its orientation. Wipe out any debris from the housing with a clean cloth if needed.
- Insert a new filter, making sure the airflow arrows on the filter face toward the throttle body and that the filter sits flush in the housing.
- Reposition the lid and secure the clips or screws. Reconnect any hoses if you had to detach them.
- Close the hood and start the engine to ensure there are no unusual sounds and that the intake is sealed.
Regular replacement intervals vary by model and driving conditions, but a typical range is every 15,000–30,000 miles. Always check the vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended interval and inspect the filter if you drive in dusty or harsh conditions.
Summary
The 2014 Chevy Silverado’s engine air filter is located in a rectangular black plastic housing on the passenger side of the engine bay, with the intake hose connecting to the throttle body. Access the housing by releasing the clips or screws, replace the filter with the correct orientation, secure the lid, and you’re done. Follow the manual for replacement intervals and inspect the filter regularly in dusty conditions.
