Engine Air Filter
Engine Air Filter
These are easy to install & should be replaced every 15K or so. This varies greatly depending on where you drive & the air your filter intakes. Just open the hood & inspect it yourself (4 screws on 03-06 or 5 latches on 07-11) if it's dirty replace it. Mechanics & Quick Lube shops will charge you a premium for this easy DIY job. Save some money & help preserve your engine by replacing the filter yourself.
PLEASE NOTE; These are Genuine Honda Parts, you could save more or spend more buying aftermarket versions. We prefer OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) parts when possible, but there will always be acceptations to this general rule.
