2022 Honda Passport Air Filter in Burlington, MA

It sits in the engine bay airbox ahead of the engine, accessible from the top with basic hand tools.

The 2022 Honda Passport uses a sealed airbox to feed the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 (engine code 6VNAG3.5). Lift the hood and you’ll find the airbox secured with clips or screws; the filter element drops in flat. If you prefer professional service in Burlington, MA, our team can replace the filter and inspect the intake tract during the same visit.

• Top-access airbox with a flat-panel filter
• Located forward/side of the V6 intake tube
• Seal must seat evenly to prevent unfiltered air entry

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

On the 2022 Honda Passport, the engine filter protects the 3.5L V6 from dust and debris that can accelerate wear, and the cabin (dust and pollen) filter captures particulates and odors before air reaches the vents. Both filters support comfort and reliability, but they serve different systems and locations.

• Engine filter: protects throttle body, MAF, and cylinders
• Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC performance
• Different service intervals and access points

Reduced power, lower fuel economy, or a rough idle point to an engine filter issue; weak airflow or musty odors indicate a cabin filter problem.

A dirty engine filter can restrict airflow to the V6, causing sluggish acceleration and potential MIL warnings. A clogged cabin filter limits HVAC flow and may leave a stale smell after startup. If you notice these symptoms in Burlington, MA, a quick inspection can confirm whether replacement restores performance and comfort.

• Engine: hesitation, poor MPG, louder intake noise
• Cabin: weak vent output, window fogging, odors
• Schedule a check: schedule service

Yes—engine filters are typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter sits behind the glove box and may require trim removal.

Many owners can swap the engine filter in minutes using basic tools. The cabin (dust and pollen) filter involves accessing panels near the glove box and ensuring correct airflow orientation. At Herb Chambers Honda of Burlington, we also inspect the intake housing and visually check the MAF area to catch issues early.
