I changed mine out today for the first time as part of my DIY 30K maintenance and the original one was pretty filthy. Here's a couple pics, I'm sure other have had worse, but I thought it was a good example of why you should change it.

I replaced the original one w/ a TL one, for some reason the TSX uses a different part number for its filter and its much more expensive. The TL one (like the Accord one) fits in perfectly. $16.66 from Del Ray Acura plus shipping.

xizor

Apparently, there are two filters for the Accord. One is more expensive than the other (item #6).

Do you park under trees?

xizor

Don't you love how this gets started...

What year TL are you talking about

Mine almost looks the same like your Xizor, I replaced mine last week. I purchased mine from a local Honda dealer.

3rd gen, 04-06

Hmm...that is rather nasty. I'm at ~17K. Probably should check it. How hard is the change out?

kboosman00

^^^ It's extremely easy. Just follow the manual.

spc

Good found! Since TL's one is cheaper, I would change it every two years independent of mileage driven.

my air and cabin filter i changed this morning after 15k miles,



i went with WIX replacements, you can get them at www.fleetfilters.com for $9.75/each

Is the particle filtrations size equivalent among the TL, TSX & Accord filters?

moda_way

TL and Accord are the EXACT same part number. The TSX has a different part number but is exactly the same dimensions. Different part numbers sometimes mean different suppliers too, so my guess is b/c the TSX is JDM built, they use a local supplier.

I do.

xizor

somebody pm'd me in response to this thread saying the TSX filter is made in japan and has different pleats in the filter, where as the Accord and TL are made in the US and hence is cheaper to purchase locally

kboosman00

^^^ Then I suppose all the JDM whores will stick to the actual TSX filter? LOL...

This webpage has many many links. Which one did you use? You can also get the Wix filter at www.filter1.com for about $12-$13 dollars. I use this site, because I can also order Wix oil filters for 4.40 when you purchase 6 or more filters. You can also get the Air filter for a good price.

So the new Accord has the some part number as the TL do? I gotta pick one up from Honda.

LoveMyTL-S

Got mine from Honda, much cheaper.

peter_bigblock

I got replacement cabin filter from fleetfilters, too. Fit perfectly. My old one, after about 25k, looked worse -- maybe because most of my driving is highway? It was clogged with soot, dust, bees, dragonflies, "helicopters", etc. I felt much better after putting the new one in, and I'm pretty certain I could feel the gains in low-end torque.

jerzpwr

how much more expensive are the ones from acura?

jlukja

Someone said the Acura pollen filter is $60.

xizor

the TSX is more b/c its made in Japan. I purchased a TL one, price was negligible between that and an Accord one

hondatypes

i think i asked this question before. but how does the cabin air filter get so dirty???

drunkenbuda

I read and it said nothing about how to take it out. Where is it located?

drunkenbuda

Anyone? I want to put the filter in right now.

peterjedi

I think it is page 260 on the User manual. I just changed my today. It was dirty as hell. I have 35000 miles on the car.

drunkenbuda

Just turn to page 260, its not it......Is it underneth the glove compartment?

Its for a 7th gen Accord but I think the procedure is the same

drunkenbuda

Alrite, done. That $h*T is dirty! Got my filter from Honda for $24.00.

sauceman

Because that's the air we breathe outside of the TSX. Hello asthma??

xizor

its in there... you're looking at the manual that comes w/ your car right?

fuckleberry

1) I think you posted wrong link - do you mean fleetfilter.com
2)
the air cleaner filter, that one on the bottom - did you get it rom fleetfilter.com as well ?
Looks like they don't have it...
part number 46831

fuckleberry

I think he posted the wrong link
try fleetfilter.com

joerockt

Do you think O2 and CO2 are the only things floating in the air? If you have your recirc off, all the air from the outside goes through this filter first before reaching the air in the cabin...
