11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2015 Volvo S60?
The 2015 Volvo S60 engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay, and the cabin filter is positioned behind the glove box.
This layout makes routine checks straightforward and keeps the 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 supplied with clean intake air. Cabin airflow for the HVAC passes through the behind‑glove‑box filter to trap dust and pollen common along Route 1 and Greater Boston. If you’re unsure, our team at 1120 Providence Highway can confirm locations and condition during a quick inspection—just schedule service.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2015 Volvo S60?
A 2015 Volvo S60 uses two filters: one engine air filter for combustion air and one cabin (pollen) filter for passenger HVAC air.
The engine filter protects the 2.5L turbo inline-5 from dirt that can reduce power or efficiency. The cabin filter screens dust, pollen, and debris before air reaches vents inside the sedan. Both are important for performance and comfort in Norwoods mixed city/highway driving. If you need help deciding which to replace now, schedule service.
- Engine filter: protects intake/MAF and turbo components
- Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC flow
- Both are serviceable without major disassembly
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2015 Volvo S60?
Three common signs are reduced power, lower fuel economy, and weak HVAC airflow or a musty odor.
On the 2015 Volvo S60, a dirty engine filter can cause hesitation or rougher operation from the turbocharged inline-5. A saturated cabin filter can restrict fan output and carry odors, especially after heavy pollen seasons around Greater Boston. If you notice any of these, a quick inspection in Norwood can confirm—book online to get started.
- Engine symptoms: sluggish acceleration, rough idle
- Cabin symptoms: weaker vent flow, odors from vents

Can I replace the air filter on my 2015 Volvo S60 myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yesmany owners can DIY the engine filter, while the cabin filter often needs glove box trim removal and tight-space access.
DIY engine filter swaps are typically straightforward once the airbox is opened; use an OEM-spec filter to maintain proper fit and airflow. The cabin filter can be more involved and is easier with proper tools and lighting. Dealer service adds an intake/MAF visual check and correct Volvo Genuine Parts.
