This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the third generation (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010)
Honda Odyssey minivan in cleaning or changing the engine air filter
element for the J35A6 or J35A7 3.5 liter V6 motor. Owners of other Honda or Acura vehicles such as the Accord, Civic, Crosstour, CR-V, CR-Z, HR-V, Fit, Element, Insight, Pilot, Ridgeline, Clarity, Crosstour, Elysion, ILX, TSX, TLX, TL, RLX, RDX, NSX and MDX may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A few compatible replacement engine air filters with their part numbers are as follows: EPAuto GP013, K&N 33-2309, ACDelco A3110C, Wix 42844, Champion CAP10013, AEM 28-20309, Honda 17220-RGW-A00 and Hastings AF1323. The only tool needed to access and replace the old filter is an 8mm socket with an extension bar and a 1/4" drive ratchet or you could instead use a long Phillips head screwdriver. |

Lift Air Box Cover |
The first two steps
are to open the hood and then move to the right (driver) side of the engine
bay. The black plastic engine air filter box is located just behind the 12V automotive battery and in front of the windshield. There are four screws that secure the top of the engine air filter box to the lower half. Loosen the four screws by turning them counterclockwise with an 8mm socket, an extension bar and a 1/4" drive ratchet (or use a long Phillips head screwdriver). The screws "captured" so they will remain attached to the air box cover. Lift up the air box cover. |

If the old filter
is dark grey or black and clogged with dust, dirt, soot, pollen, insects,
leaves, hair and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element. I recommend buying the EPAuto GP013 engine air filter since it has excellent reviews on Amazon from other Odyssey owners. If you prefer to have the original genuine OEM filter, the part number is Honda 17220-RGW-A00. If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner. Lower the new air filter into the bottom half of the box with the pleats facing down and the black plastic frame facing up towards you. |

Lower Air Box Cover |
Tighten Screws Clockwise |
Four Captured Screws |
Lower the cover
over the top of the air box. Tighten the four screws by turning them in the clockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver until they are snug. |
