Genuine Honda Air Filters

Honda Air Filters: What You Need to Know

How Many and What Types There are

There are two of them -- one for the engine and one for the cabin.

What They Do

They capture airborne contaminants -- everything from dirt and road debris to dust and pollen. The engine air filter keeps them out of the air intake and the rest of the motor, while the cabin air filter keeps them out of the heater and air conditioning system.

What They're Made of

One of four materials: synthetic paper, foam, cotton, or metal. They're often either flat-panel, circular, or cylindrical in design and pleated for better capture.

How You Tell if They Need to be Replaced

Check for proper airflow. Interior air quality issues can indicate an obstructed cabin filter. Acceleration problems and engine misfires and power loss can indicate a clogged engine filter. You can avoid these results by changing both air filters regularly. The symptoms it may be time include:

• A dashboard Check Engine warning
• Muck in the filter
• Obvious filter wear
• Strange engine noises
• Worsening fuel economy
• Black exhaust smoke
• Cabin odors

When You Should Change Them

Once a year -- every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, no more than every 30,000 miles. Your owner's manual's maintenance schedule will have more info on what to do and when to do it.
