  DIY: Dust/Pollen Filter Replacement« » Reply  Edit


Just thought I would do a quick DIY on the dust/pollen filter replacement. The ISO was off on my camera for some of the photos, but, you'll get the point.

Open Glove Box:

Pull in the left and right side of the glove box like so. This will allow the compartment to open up fully.

Anything inside will fall out on the floor.

On both side pinch in these tabs that hold the filter in. While doing so pull it towards you. This is where the filter element is.

Filter in tray:

Take out the filter and replace with the new one. It should only go in one way as there is a direction for the air flow marked on the plastic tray.

Take note that the ECU is in that location as well. Just an FYI.

I think the manual recommends every 15k. . .

Around once a year should be good, I know I'm due for mine.

Yes, Honda recommends every 15K miles. Mine had 19K on it and wasn't too bad. But, once a year is probably a good thing. If you notice musty smells or really dirty filters sooner, then it couldn't hurt to replace as needed.

Haven't gotten around to this one yet.
