2026 Honda Passport Air Filter in Seekonk, MA

It’s in the engine bay inside a sealed rectangular airbox, positioned just ahead of the intake snorkel.

Open the hood on your 2026 Honda Passport and look for the plastic airbox with metal or plastic clips; that housing contains the engine air filter for the 3.5L V6. The cabin air filter is separate and typically sits behind the glove box. If you prefer a quick check or replacement, use our Express lane—book a time with schedule service.

• Release the airbox clips and lift the cover enough to slide the panel filter out.
• Avoid disturbing nearby intake ducting and any mass airflow sensor wiring.
• Confirm the new filter’s airflow arrow/orientation before closing the airbox.

The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers—two separate filters serving different systems.

The engine filter screens incoming air before combustion to support power and efficiency, and the cabin filter traps dust and pollen entering the HVAC ducts. Both are serviceable items on the 2026 Honda Passport. For OEM-spec replacements and proper fitment, you can schedule service at Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk.
