How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter in a 2008 Honda Odyssey

Driving on dirt roads can cause the filter to become dirty more quickly.

The 2008 Honda Odyssey minivan contains a cabin air filter located on the inside of the dash. The cabin air filter cleans the air before it enters the passenger compartment from the air conditioning system. Honda recommends replacing the cabin filter in the Odyssey after every 10,000 miles driven or once every 12 months. Frequent driving in dusty conditions or driving in dense traffic will shorten the life span of each cabin air filter, requiring that be replaced more often. A clean cabin air filter increases air flow through the air conditioning system.

Things You'll Need

• New cabin air filter

Instructions

1. Open the glove box. Disconnect the stop bar on the right side of the open glove box.

2. Push in on the top of the glove box on both sides to unhook the glove box from the dash. Swing the glove box down toward the floor of the Odyssey.

3. Pull the cabin air filter frame toward the rear of the vehicle to remove it from the filter compartment.

4. Remove the old filter from the filter frame. Insert the new cabin air filter into the filter frame.

5. Slide the filter frame into the filter compartment. Swing the glove box up to its normal position. Hook the stop bar into place on the right side of the glove box.
