There are instructions on how to replace them in the Owner's Manual. However, the owner's manual only refer to one filter, in fact there are two as mentioned in an earlier post.

:cool: I took my filter at a gas station and cleaned it out by the air hose last week coz it looked dirty, might as well solve the problem :D

fvck I wonder how much Honda will charge me for those filters... maybe I'll call and ask. I haven't changed mine and I'm at about 80k.

they are expensive. Better to buy them and install youself though.

an ebay ad i just read said to change the filters every year!

yup at least every 10k or one year.

Autozone has Bosch Cabin Filters for around $16 for the pair so screw paying $25 EACH at Honda. :tup:


Honda will charge you an arm and a leg. Seriously, the dealership I went to tried to charge me $100 for the filters and installation. Do it yourself, it will seriously take less than 5 minutes.

yep i got an ad for $118 from a dealer to change the filters for me :giggle:

mine were black too, i replaced one, i couldn't find where the other one was, but i read the thread, i'll change the other one this weekend, thanks :).

I paid $10.38 each at Honda for mine. List was around $25 though. I love working at the dealership!

Honda Price: $25 each

HandAaccessories.com $26 shipped for 2.

I will have to do this too. Anything to keep the inside smelling better. Not that it smells now, but who wants it to start?!

i think the manual recommends changing it every 30k miles

I never it did it yet on my 03 almost at 45k. I saw your post and stopped to buy them today. Sure enough, mine are darkened and had little bug bits in them. there was even about 1/2 of a bee's rear section in the filter. Not sure what happened to the other 3/4 of the bee, but I'm sure it wasn't pleasant!!! hehe.

Thanks for the good advice, I hadn't read that part in the manual so I may have never known otherwise. Add one to your rep points.

cool, rep points. What do those do exactly again?

i got mine from dis auto for $26
I changed mine twice so far 38,ooomls on my car

They have no real effect as far as I can tell.

They make you get more little green dots, and it tells people that you are posting things that are useful. If someone is posting about useless garbage you can also give them a negative point and say that you dissaprove of what they posted. Just for show I guess.

okay i finally picked up some napa gold/wix filters for mine $30 shipped but I know they're worth it.

I thougth that's what they did, but then I still have only one green dot... Hey guys, I need more green dots! :lol:
