I am looking online for Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filters but having a difficult location them. Has anyone purchased any that will work on their 2019 RDX? Many say they are compatible but looks to be used on older models. If you have a link please share it.

Filters being shared with other models is the rule, not the exception. I wouldn't worry about it, especially for cabin filter.

I see fits for cabin filters from Fram and WIX, but no engine air filter, so that one may be unique.

The Fram cabin filter ( CF11182 ) is shared with recent Civic and CRV, so you might find it at your local Wally World.

Nothing wrong with OEM ( Denso? ). If you get them online, they are price competitive with aftermarket.

Here is the part number I found for the filters:
Cabin Air 80291-T5R-A01
Engine Air: 17220-5MS-H00

The Accord runs the same engine, so I fully expect easy access when the filter needs replacement. If it isn’t yet available, I will mosey on down to the dealer’s parts department.

I had my parts guy at my local Honda dealer cross check the air filters right after I leased my 2019 RDX and he said the cabin filter crosses with a Honda part, but the engine air cleaner does not. Surprising since the Accord has the 2.0t as well, but so far, that is what he is telling me. I'll check with him again before I replace as there may be some updated cross references by then.

Yes the Engine Air cleaner is not easy to find online currently with after market websites. Hopefully it will come soon enough.

Bumping this old thread to see if anyone's found these filters more easily in recent months? I looked today and found the engine filter on one parts site but they would NOT ship to California. Seemed very odd but not unheard of. A different parts site only had a performance filter (about 2x the cost of standard) but they would ship here. Just wondering what others are seeing these days.

Rockauto has a listing for the air filter.

Nice - thanks. I'll see what their story is - make sure they'll ship to CA.

Amazon have one

Nice. Thanks. Was mostly surprised when AutoZone store said they couldn’t even order one for me. Obviously they’re available.

Install was a challenge with the rubber cowl blocking the 4th screw. Way easier to change on the Gen2 model.

Thanks

I changed the cabin air filter. It was more awkward than other Hondas. Or maybe I am just less limber now.

Does anyone have good instructions on changing air filter and cabin filter?

Cabin filter:

Empty the glovebox. If you still have that useless shelf there, remove it.
Look inside, and high up on the far wall you see two finger cutouts. Flashlight around it and you see the outline of the cover. Put a finger in each cut out and pull, it will pop off.
Then, look in again, and there is another plastic cover, this time you take your fingers and pull the tabs to the middle, and that one comes out.
Stand up and stretch to get the kinks out.
Fingers in again and pull out the white filter. Place it on the floor in the exact orientation it came out.
Unwrap your new filter. Airflow is DOWN.
Put it in the slot ensuring it is in the same geometric orientation as the filter on the floor.
Put the cover with the side tabs back in. Yes, there is no satisfying ‘click’ to let you know it seated, but if it stays up when you let go and looks smooth, then it is on.
Same thing for the outer door.

Stand up, work out the kinks, say, WTF, they coulda made this easier with no effort. Load the crap back in the glove box and wait a year to rinse and repeat.

Haven't done the engine air filter yet, for me, that is an every other year job.

Less than $15 and 15 minutes in the driveway, or, probably $60 and an hour at the dealer.
