On the 2012 Honda Pilot, the engine filter is enclosed in a rectangular housing designed for quick access and proper sealing on the 3.5L V6. The cabin filter location allows efficient airflow through the HVAC. If you prefer, our Burlington team can replace both during a single visit.

The engine air filter cleans air for the 3.5L V6’s combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air for the HVAC and passengers.

These filters do different jobs and use different media. A clean engine filter supports power and efficiency; a clean cabin filter supports airflow and comfort. Both are straightforward to service during your appointment in Burlington, MA.
