2018 Honda Hr-V Air Filter in Seekonk, MA

It sits in the engine bay inside the rectangular airbox ahead of the battery on the driver side of the 2018 Honda HR-V.

The airbox opens via clips or screws to access the filter element for your 1.8L inline-4. For comfort, the cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box. If you prefer professional service, Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk on Route 44 can replace both filters with Honda Genuine parts and document everything on your repair order.

The engine air filter cleans air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air for the HVAC system and passengers in a 2018 Honda HR-V.

Your 1.8L four-cylinder depends on a clean engine filter to help maintain power and fuel economy, and the cabin filter helps reduce dust and pollen inside the vehicle. Using Honda Genuine filters ensures proper fit and airflow for both systems. If you’re unsure which you need, our team can inspect both during a single visit.

• Engine filter: protects intake tract and helps preserve performance
• Cabin filter: improves interior air quality and HVAC airflow
