2023 Honda Passport 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 2023 Honda Passport?
The engine air filter sits in a rectangular air box in the engine bay, typically on the driver side ahead of the 3.5L V6 intake.
This housing feeds clean air to the 280-hp V6 and 9-speed automatic, so proper sealing matters. The cabin air filter is separate, located behind the glove box, filtering air entering the HVAC. If you’re unsure which cover to open, our Murray service advisors can point it out during a quick check. You can also schedule service online.
- Engine code reference: 6VNAG3.5 V6 (regular unleaded)
- Cabin filter access: usually behind glove box trim panel
- Seating the air box lid evenly prevents unmetered air leaks
What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2023 Honda Passport?
The engine air filter protects the V6’s intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you and your passengers breathe.
On the 2023 Honda Passport, the engine filter supports performance and fuel economy, and the cabin microfilter helps reduce dust, pollen, and road odors inside the SUV. Both are serviceable items with their own housings and clips. If you prefer, our team in Murray can replace both during a single visit.
- Engine filter: feeds 3.5L V6 for optimal power and efficiency
- Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality via HVAC
- Separate locations, separate replacement procedures
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2023 Honda Passport?
Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).
The 2023 Honda Passport’s V6 depends on clean intake air; a dirty engine filter can blunt throttle response around Murray’s city streets and canyon climbs. A clogged cabin filter can restrict blower output and let odors linger. If you notice these symptoms, book a quick inspection with our OEM-trained technicians.
- Engine: hesitation, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel use
- Cabin: noisy fan with low airflow, dusty vents, persistent smells

Can I replace the air filter on my 2023 Honda Passport myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes, many owners DIY the engine filter; dealer service adds OEM-spec parts plus intake/MAF checks, and cabin filter access may require trim removal.
The Passport’s engine air box is straightforward, but sealing the lid and routing hoses correctly is essential for the V6. The cabin filter is behind the glove box and can involve clips or dampers. Visiting Larry H. Miller Honda Murray ensures the right Honda filter and a quick inspection for leaks or debris.
- DIY-friendly engine filter; careful reseating prevents air leaks
- Cabin filter: glove box removal often required
- Dealer service includes proper fitment and disposal

How often should I replace the engine air filter on a 2023 Honda Passport in Murray?
Follow the interval in your owner’s manual and inspect at each oil change, especially if you drive Utah’s dusty or construction-prone roads.
Driving along the Wasatch Front can load the engine filter faster, affecting performance from the 280-hp V6 and 9-speed transmission. We’ll check the filter’s condition and seal during routine visits. If it’s visibly dirty or airflow is reduced, we’ll recommend a Honda replacement.
- Manual-specified interval is your baseline
- Shorten interval for frequent gravel or canyon travel
- Complimentary inspection with scheduled services
How often should I replace the cabin air filter on a 2023 Honda Passport?
Use the owner’s manual interval and replace sooner if you notice weak airflow, increased dust on vents, or persistent HVAC odors.
Pollen seasons and urban particulates can load the cabin microfilter more quickly on Murray commutes. Replacing the filter helps your HVAC maintain airflow and reduces in-cabin allergens. We can inspect it during any visit and install a genuine Honda filter if needed.
- Manual-based interval; adjust for local air quality
