2023 Honda Odyssey Air Filter in Avon, IN | Hare Honda

The engine air filter on the 2023 Honda Odyssey is located in the engine bay inside the rectangular airbox on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

On the 3.5L V6 in the 2023 Honda Odyssey, the filter sits inside the plastic airbox and is accessible once the airbox clips or screws are released. This placement makes the engine filter serviceable without major disassembly of engine components. Hare Honda technicians visually inspect the intake housing and MAF sensor when replacing the element.

• Location: passenger-side airbox in the engine bay
• Accessible by releasing clips or a few fasteners
• Technician checks intake and MAF sensor during service

The cabin air filter on the 2023 Honda Odyssey is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Accessing the cabin filter typically requires lowering or removing the glove box panel to reach the filter housing. Cabin filters trap pollen, dust, and road particulates before air reaches occupants, so inspection during routine service helps preserve HVAC airflow and odor control. Hare Honda service staff can replace the cabin filter and test blower performance as part of an HVAC inspection.

• Location: behind the glove box, inside passenger cabin
• Servicing may require glove box removal or lowering
• Technician checks blower operation after replacement

The engine air filter protects the engine's intake system and combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment for ventilation and HVAC use.

The engine filter prevents dust and debris from reaching the throttle body, intake manifold, and cylinders, supporting fuel economy and power from the 3.5L V6. The cabin filter removes pollen, dust, and odors from air entering the passenger area and affects HVAC airflow. Both are distinct parts and serve different systems despite similar appearances.

• Engine filter: protects combustion and intake components
• Cabin filter: filters HVAC air for passengers
• Both should be inspected regularly but replaced on different intervals

Common signs include reduced engine response or fuel economy for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or a musty odor for the cabin filter.

If the engine air filter is restricted, drivers may notice reduced throttle response or slightly worse MPG than the Odyssey's rated 19 city / 28 highway; a very dirty filter can also cause rough idle. For the cabin filter, symptoms are decreased vent airflow, accelerated HVAC blower noise, and lingering odors inside the vehicle. Technicians at Hare Honda inspect both filters during routine service visits.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle
• Cabin symptoms: weak vents, musty or stale odors, increased dust inside cabin
• Technician inspection can confirm and resolve underlying causes

Yes — the engine air filter on the 2023 Honda Odyssey is generally a DIY-friendly service, while the cabin filter may require glove box removal and moderate hand tools.

The engine air filter is secured in an airbox with clips or screws and can normally be changed with basic tools and a clean work area. Replacing the cabin filter is possible for many owners but can be trickier because of the glove box and trim removal. If you prefer OEM parts, Hare Honda can supply and install genuine Honda filters and inspect the intake and MAF sensor.

• Engine filter: accessible in the engine bay, basic tools needed
