It just hit me the other day when I remembered I've never changed them.. i've had the car for 3 years now.. I guess it could be time to change them. Anyone know how much they are? I read from some people that they're around $10-$15 and some people said $50!
$50 cabin filters? maybe they meant the Air Intake Filter that is in engine bay or maybe a PAIR of cabin filters (but even$25 each is pricey)
I got a pair from a Napa parts store, Napa Gold brand for less than $20 including tax
Filters are easy to get from most chain auto stores like Strauss, pepboys, autozone. Just make sure you're picking out cabin air filters and not the intake filters

wow the cabin filters get super dirty after 5k miles. You should've been cleaning those alot more! just get a vacuum and suck out the dirt. Good as new.
I bought 4 of the the first filter on the list one on the list...
Part number-R2060-119788
Part Description-ACC Cabin Filter
List price-$14.37
Drivewire's price-$6.59
Yes they have several other cabin filters at varying costs. But for the price the cheapies are working fine for me. Better than paying $40 to $60 a pair at some Honda dealers. The OEM filters I pulled out, were from a local honda dealer (per the service records), and the ones I bought online, have the same info imbossed on the filter's package that the "OEM" filters had on their stickers. So the first owner paid $40 to have filters that retail for $13.12 installed.
you can also check the company that makes them. i know that at my dealership, they were trying to charge me $40 each, but www.micronair.com makes them, and it was about $20 shipped.
are these cabin filters you guys are talking about is the filter thats used for a/c and fan in the civic?
ive been using the same one for 20k+ miles now, but i rarely use it. i do remember seeing it sometime when i was hooking up my stereo. but is there any evidence or test proven filters that filter better than the OEM cabin filter?

yes these are behind the glove box. Does it matter? AS long as they filter. Unless you have severe allergies, then just get the cheapest one. You can run your own test if you really want to know.
I just got a pair of Bosch cabin filters for around $16 a few days ago. My car has been running with the original cabin filters for about 50k miles, and they were dirty as hell. Don't EVER have Honda change these filters for you. They tried to charge me $100 to change 2 filters that take less than 5 minutes to do. I hate them.
