BTW, how difficult to replace the cabin filter? how much time? TIA
The hard part is emptying the glove box of your stuff. Then you kinda squeeze two tabs on the backside of the glovebox to get it to flip down. Once it's down, there's a marked door that you pull out the filter.

No tools. Five minutes.

Just squeeze in on the lower glove-box sides and let it drop down. The cabin filter is behind this clearly marked in a drawer. Pull this out.

The new filter (at least the one from Amazon) may require cutting the vinyl ribs in the outer pleats to fit over the frame correctly.

Remember to empty the glove-box before dropping it forward-down (that's the hardest part).

$129? sigh...

It is a 5 minute job. It is located behind the glove compartment. I put a Wix brand one in mine. I forget what it cost. They are between $9.00 and $22.00 depending on brand from Rock Auto.

I bought the Pentius brand on Rock Auto, only $8. Quality filter and fit perfect, no cutting required.

WOW. you guys were correct. Cabin filter replacement was super easy.
Saved over $100 by not having the dealer do it. They are such a rip off.

Now time to buy new tires.

Thanks all

Yep ditto. Just put mine in yesterday and it was easy peasy.
My odyssey, on the other hand, was a major PITA.

Rock auto rocks.
