2013 Honda Fit Air Filter
Honda Air Filter service at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray, UT Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
11 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2013 Honda Fit?
It sits in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, just behind the driver-side headlight on the 1.5L inline-4.
This panel-style filter feeds the Fit’s 1.5-liter intake and is accessed by releasing the airbox fasteners. A clean engine filter helps maintain throttle response and fuel efficiency during city drives and canyon climbs around Salt Lake City. If you’re unsure, our team in Murray can confirm placement and condition during a quick inspection.
- Location: driver-side front of engine bay, inside the black airbox
- Access: release clips/screws, lift lid, note airflow orientation
- Schedule service for inspection and OEM replacement
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2013 Honda Fit?
It’s located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.
The cabin filter screens dust, pollen, and road debris from outside air before it reaches you through the vents. On the Fit, lowering the glove box and releasing the stops exposes the filter tray. If you prefer not to remove interior trim, our Murray service team can replace it during the same visit as the engine filter.
- Access from passenger side: lower glove box and remove filter tray
- Restores HVAC airflow and helps reduce odors
- Combine with an engine filter check to save a trip — schedule now
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2013 Honda Fit?
The engine air filter protects the 1.5L intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers — two separate filters.
The engine filter lives under the hood and helps the Fit’s inline-4 breathe clean, supporting performance and emissions. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box and targets comfort, trapping dust and pollen from outside air. Replacing each on time keeps both the powertrain and your interior environment in good shape.
- Engine filter: under-hood airbox; affects power and fuel economy
- Cabin filter: behind glove box; affects airflow and odor control
- Both are serviceable independently at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a Honda Fit?
Typical signs include reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine), and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin).
If your Fit feels sluggish on State Street or your vents feel weak despite high fan settings, one or both filters may be restricted. Visual checks often reveal a darkened, debris-laden element. Our Murray technicians can inspect both filters and advise if replacement is due.
- Engine: hesitation, louder intake noise, dirty filter media
- Cabin: diminished airflow, lingering odors, visible dust buildup
- Book a diagnostic inspection: schedule service
Can I replace the air filters on my 2013 Honda Fit myself, or should Larry H. Miller Honda Murray do it?
Yes — the engine filter is generally DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter needs glove box removal; our dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and system checks.
Many owners can swap the engine filter with basic hand tools. The cabin filter requires releasing glove box stops without damaging trim. At our Murray facility, we also inspect the intake housing and visually check the MAF area, then install genuine Honda filters that fit correctly.

Do I need to replace the engine and cabin filters at the same time on a 2013 Honda Fit?
No — they serve different systems and wear at different rates, so replace as inspection indicates.
Engine filter life depends on dust and mileage; the cabin filter is driven by HVAC use and local pollen/road conditions. Many owners choose to inspect both together and replace whichever is due. Our Murray team will check each filter and advise without overselling.

2013 Honda Fit Air Filter Specifications
The 2013 Fit’s 1.5-liter inline-4 (engine code 4INAG1.5) uses a panel-style engine air filter inside a sealed airbox for consistent metering to the intake. The cabin filter is a rectangular element mounted behind the glove box in the HVAC housing. Honda OEM filters are engineered for proper pleat count, media, and frame rigidity to maintain airflow and seal integrity. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual and consider earlier inspection if you frequently drive in dust or heavy traffic along the Wasatch Front. We can inspect both filters during any visit and advise on replacement timing. Bring your 2013 Honda Fit to Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray for OEM-spec filter service — schedule service.
