2018 Honda Cr-V Air Filter in Burlington, MA

It sits in the engine bay inside a sealed airbox ahead of the 1.5L turbocharged inline-4.

Pop the hood on your 2018 Honda CR-V and look for the rectangular airbox with clips or screws; that housing contains the engine air filter. The cabin air filter is separate and typically accessed behind the glove box. If clips are stubborn or you’d prefer a professional seal check, our Burlington team can handle both filters during one appointment.

• Engine air filter: panel element inside the under-hood airbox
• Cabin air filter: accessed behind the glove box area

The engine air filter cleans intake air for the 1.5L turbo engine, while the cabin air filter purifies HVAC air for you and your passengers.

The engine filter protects combustion efficiency and turbo longevity by trapping dust before it reaches the intake. The cabin filter screens pollen and road particulates before air passes through the vents. Both matter: clean engine air supports power and mileage, and clean cabin air supports comfort on Burlington drives.
