How to Replace an Air Filter on a Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey minivan uses an engine air filter to prevent debris and dirt from entering the internal workings of the engine. Particles or dirt that enter into the engine can cause damage to the Odyssey. Honda recommends replacing the air filter in the Odyssey every 30,000 miles under typical circumstances. If the vehicle is frequently driven in dusty conditions, the air filter will become dirty more frequently. The filter should be checked at every regular oil change and replaced if it is caked with dirt or debris.

Things You'll Need

• New air filter
• Philips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Turn the engine off. Open the hood.

2. Locate the air filter housing on the driver's side of the engine compartment. It is a black plastic box.

3. Remove the four screws holding the lid of the filter housing in place with the Philips screwdriver.

4. Lift the filter housing lid off of the filter housing.

5. Insert the new air filter into the filter housing.

6. Replace the filter housing lid. Screw the four lid screws back into place to create a tight seal.
