So I did a search for "filter" and couldn't find an answer so here's my question.

Where are you guys buying your air filter's from?

And what brands are you guys going with?

Thanks!

 

lose the factory and get a Fujitsu or AEM intake.....never replace the filter again

 

I just go to the dealership and use the honda/acura air filter. It gets the job done.

 

I'll stick with OEM till my car is paid off in full and/or warranty is expired.

 

Just go to an auto parts store and consult the cross reference if all you need is the factory replacement.

 

I just use the OEM air filter. It does the job. My car is still under warranty so I dont want to change to an AEM intake just yet. You can get cheap OEM filters on line. I think Curry Acura has cheap filters or Hondaacura.com also sells them at a reasonable price.

 

what about K&N filters? they seem to be the standard in performance/replacement filters ???

 

k&n

 

K&N or bosch

 

K&N is an option, I guess I was looking more in the lines of OEM where you dont have to clean and reoil it etc..

 

Oem

 

I am using WIX, purchased from rockauto.com. WIX was recommended by various people in this forum. It fits perfectly, as far as I can tell, construction wise is similar to the original filter.

 

I believe that wix or fram is the manufacturer of the stock filter...

 

Stock filters on '04 and '05 models are bi-filters. By this I mean that the "bottom" of the filter (the side facing the incoming air stream) is oil-wetted while the side facing the throttle body is a dry element. These filters are pricey and somewhat restrictive, though they work great.

I have been using the Purolator A25585 (think that is the correct number).

 

Is there any guide, or PDF, that shows how to replace the air filter?

I just finished buying one from Acura (OEM) for 18 dollars (canadian)

I just need to figure out how to do it now....

NEVER MIND...READ THE POST ABOVE...BEAT ME TO IT and it's MUCH easier to follow! LOL

 

I get an STP 9600 for $12.99 from a local AutoZone store.
Looks and works fine.

I use a k&n filter. I don't really care about the performance (I didn't notice any difference) but I like the fact that I won't have to buy an air filter ever again.

I used one on my mustang for almost 100k miles and it was fine.

I bought on-line. Don't remember which website.

 

Just replaced mine last week. Two of the screws were almost frozen in place, and I was afraid I would strip the heads trying to remove them. Ended up using a socket driver, extension bar, and a vise grip for leverage. I shot all four and their receivers with WD-40 before reassembling. Changing the intake air filter is easy compared to the cabin air filter, but both jobs are a lot more difficult than they need to be.
