And I just completed the job! Thank you again for the video. I am feeling
so accomplished, and grateful that you guys took the time to help us non
“mechanic” people perform basic maintenance tasks on our vehicles with
having to overpay someone at the dealership.
Excellent video! I had already purchased my filters before finding this,
but will definitely purchase from Filterheads next time. Doing this myself
is saving me $50!

This was very helpful. I can’t imagine why Honda did not make this filter
more accessible in the 2005 model.
the plastic bar is there for shipping and assembly line purposes… if you
ever remove one of these things… you will see just how massive the dash
really is.. and when its out of the vehicle, unsupported, it is very flexy
and wobbly… the plastic bar is simply there to make it stiffer when
installing at the assembly plant… thats all..
This was a very professional video. I learned all I needed to, for changing
this filter. Thank you.
Replace mine yesterday on a 2007 EX-L. Instructions were perfect! Thank
you!
@tkcayc168 The plastic bar is there for a reason. In fact if you cut it, it
could cause noise in the cabin. Read my post above to see how you can
change the cabin filter in few minutes without cutting the plastic bar.
Honda engineers are smarter than this. They wouldn’t put a plastic bar
there if it was supposed to be cut! It doesn’t make sense at all!
Thanks for this very helpful video.
Luckily the newer models are much, much easier!
wow, that is a good price, can’t beat that no delivery charge deal, I will
order my Pilot’s air filter, VTM-4 fluid plus washer for drain and fill
hole from your web site now! thanks again for the good advice! tkc
thank you FilterHead for such informative video, I changed my 2006 Pilot
cabin filter just as your 2003 video shows, I agree that try using a nut
driver instead of a screwdriver to remove the glove box. That is actually
the difficult part of the whole process. Once that is done, cut out the
plastic bar and install the new filter is an easy task. I purchased the
filter from AutoZone, STP brand costs me $23.75 including taxes. Much
cheaper than the dealer asks for $127 plus taxes. Thanks!! tkc
I was not aware of this filter. I serviced my pilot @ 24K, 48K, 72K & 96K,
I reviewed all the invoices and no where does it say they ever changed this
filter. I followed your video, when I opened it all up, it was obvious
someone had changed this before. I dug deep into the handbook and there is
a 1-page blurb about a pollen filter which I should have serviced. I am at
135K now and your video was easy to follow. THANKS…;-)
@fatihkaymakci – The official Honda service procedure is to cut that bar
out on the first change. However, it is possible to dismantle the entire
dash assembly to avoid cutting it out. Taking the dash apart is a very
lengthy process. So my guess is that the plastic bar in yours has already
been cut out.
Video was perfect step by step directions. Took me about 20 minutes to
remove(mine didnt need cutting) and less to reassemble. Next time will be
even less time. Just saved me $100 by doing it myself. Thanks
Excellent Video. Thanks.
MY two front a/c vents( under the cd player) dont blow out air… but the
air vents on the side by the windows do!…. could this be because of the
air filter?
I’m glad that honda redesigned this process with their newer vehicles.
Removing the entire glove compartment is a pain for a simple filter swap.
This is a great video, it only took me a few minutes to do. My biggest
obsticle was the screws were very tight since this had never been done
before. My filter was filty, my air vents have smelled musty for years now.
My 07 Pilot is at 67K, I should have done this long before now. Easy for a
anyone to do, as a women I found this video exactly what I needed to get
this done cheaply and quickly.
3:24 you didnt clean out any leaves or debris in the housing 🙁 but
seriously, thanks for the video! 🙂
@kaliaisgay No way you can get the filter out of an ’06 Pilot using the
method you suggest kalia. The glove box is still in the way. Even if you
did just remove one hinge screw from the glove box, it would put too much
stress on the other hinge if you try to tilt the glove box to get at the
condenser box. The method proposed by Filterheads is actually pretty easy.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. Have had my Pilot for 8 years and did not know the
filter was even there. Needless to say, mine was filthy. My only comment is
that it is hard to fit the screwdriver in strait in the screw holding the
glove box on the right side. I found it much easier to remove the screw
using a socket wrench instead on a screwdriver.
Thank you very much for a well done video. I found this extremely helpful
and informative and it made my job so much easier. For those wondering
about the plastic bar, it is there to support the dash board during
assembly.
I spent the entire time trying to figure out how not to break that crossbar
@filterheads I agree, the video is great. You guys do a great job — one of
the best online tutorials I’ve ever used!
This is an excellent how-to video… much appreciated. However, Honda wants
us to do this every 10,000 miles? Are they nuts? Why would they design this
to be such a complicated chore instead of having an easily accessible
filter mounting case>
Thanks so much. This was very very helpful. Took me about 1/2 hour. Had to
cut the plastic as you mentioned, thanks for the heads up. I snapped the
hack saw blade in half and found it a bit easier to work in a tight space.
Great video thanks for the help
You’re welcome!
