2020 Honda Pilot Air Filter in Murray, UT

The 2020 Honda Pilot’s engine air filter sits in a rectangular air box in the engine bay, typically on the driver side near the intake duct.

This location allows quick access for inspection and replacement without disturbing other components. When you visit Larry H. Miller Honda Murray, our team verifies the air box seal and clamps so unfiltered air can’t bypass the element—important for Utah’s dust and winter road grit.

• Rectangular air box with clips or screws for lid removal
• Placed upstream of the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and throttle body
• Easy access for visual checks during multi-point inspections

The 2020 Honda Pilot’s cabin air filter is located behind the glove box, inside the HVAC housing.

Access typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door. In Murray’s pollen and dust seasons, this filter traps fine particles before they enter the cabin. Our Honda technicians confirm door tabs and seals are correctly seated to prevent air leaks.

• Behind glove box panel—no dashboard removal required
• Slides out in a tray for quick inspection or replacement
• Protects HVAC evaporator from debris buildup and odors

The engine air filter cleans air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.

On the 2020 Honda Pilot, the engine filter sits in the air box to protect the V6 from dust that can harm sensors and cylinders. The cabin filter resides behind the glove box to capture pollen and road dust before it reaches passengers and interior surfaces.

• Engine filter: protects intake/MAF/throttle from debris
• Cabin filter: improves cabin air quality and HVAC performance
• Different placements, sizes, and media for distinct purposes

Common signs include reduced power or mpg (engine filter) and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

In Murray’s dusty conditions, engine filters can load up faster, causing a rougher idle or delayed throttle response. Cabin filters that are saturated with pollen or road dust can strain the blower motor and fog the windshield more easily. Our technicians can confirm clogging during a quick visual inspection.

• Engine: sluggish acceleration, lower fuel economy, induction noise
• Cabin: reduced vent airflow, odors, more dust on interior surfaces
• Visual check: darkened media and debris in pleats

The engine filter is generally DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter is moderate; dealer service adds OEM parts and intake/MAF inspections.

Many owners can open the air box and swap the engine element with basic tools. The cabin filter requires glove box disassembly and careful reassembly of tabs and stops. At Larry H. Miller Honda Murray, we fit genuine Honda filters, check seals, and visually inspect the intake tract and MAF sensor.

• DIY possible: engine filter with clips/screws
• Cabin filter: glove box removal and correct door seating
