Where is the engine air filter located on a 2026 Honda Passport?
It sits inside the engine-bay air box, upstream of the intake duct on the 2026 Honda Passport.
The air box is a rectangular housing designed to seal the 3.5L V6’s intake from debris while allowing ample flow. Access typically involves unclipping the cover and lifting out the panel element. During service in Murray, we also inspect the intake snorkel and seals for leaks that can bypass filtration.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2026 Honda Passport?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers on the 2026 Honda Passport.
Engine filtration protects the 3.5L V6 from dust that can wear cylinders and MAF sensors. The cabin filter captures particulates before they reach the interior, supporting comfort and defogging performance. Both are simple to service and use Honda Genuine elements for proper fit.
- Engine filter = powertrain protection and optimal fuel metering
- Cabin filter = cleaner cabin air and stable HVAC airflow
- OEM elements ensure correct sealing and flow rates
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2026 Honda Passport?
Engine filter symptoms include reduced power, worse fuel economy, and rough idle; cabin filter signs include weak airflow and musty odors.
If you notice sluggish acceleration on Wasatch Front climbs or your HVAC struggles to clear the windshield, it’s time for an inspection. Our Murray team checks the intake path, housing, and filter media for contamination, then replaces only when necessary with Honda Genuine parts.
- Engine: hesitation, darker filter media, unusual intake noise
- Cabin: diminished fan output, dust on vents, odor on startup
- Schedule service or review service specials
