Open the hood and you’ll find a rectangular air box secured by clips or screws; the panel-style filter sits inside and feeds the 1.5L inline-4 intake.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Honda Fit?
The engine air filter protects the 1.5L I-4s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the air passengers breathe through the HVAC system.
The engine filter supports combustion, power delivery, and MPG by keeping dirt out of the throttle body and MAF area. The cabin microfilter reduces dust and pollen in the interior, improving comfort and helping HVAC efficiency. Both are important and serviced separately to keep your Fit performing and your cabin air clean.

What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2016 Honda Fit?
Engine filter clues include reduced power, lower fuel economy, or a rough idle; cabin filter clues include weak HVAC airflow and musty odors.
