Review on POTAUTO MAP 1032C (CF8813A) Activated Carbon Car Cabin Air Filter Replacement for ACURA MDX, HONDA ODYSSEY PILOT - Enhance Air Quality and Freshness in Your Vehicle by Christopher Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The filter is great, but the installation is.

Received the cabin air filter today and installed it on a 2004 Honda Odyssey van today. Taking the van to the dealer to have this filter installed would have cost me at least $1,500 due to the complexity of removing and installing. But I did it myself, and it was on the ground to get to the old filter and shut off the air system behind the glove box. Next time I do this job I will loosen the screw on the left side of the support member to allow the center member to rotate, remove the old filter, and install the new filter. You need an 8mm wrench with an extra length to make the job easier or easier. PS: I will not buy another Honda because of this installation complexity.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
