If the shop reset the MM at the oil change, THEY ALSO RESET THE FILTERS' REPLACEMENT NOTICE. So if, say, the sub-code for engine and cabin filters on the MM came on at an oil change around the 30,000 mile mark, and the MM was reset, the sub-code for the engine and cabin filters would not display again for 30,000 more miles.

++++++++++++++++++

You can see what sub-codes will display on the next oil change warning by cycling the trip odo to the MM oil life %. Then push and hold the button again and the upcoming sub-codes will display.

 

Hello All,
My 2007 DX manual doesn't have AC and therefore did not come equipped with a cabin filter.
I got curious and pulled the tray where it would have been and realized that all I had to do was cut some plastic fingers and my tray would be ready for a filter. The tray is the same with or without the filter. When there is no filter the air passage is blocked by a plastic baffle held in place by several plastic fingers. The baffle simulates the air flow resistance of a filter. Cut the fingers, remove the baffle, and add the filter and you have just upgraded your car.

Can't believe the dealer wants over 70 bucks to do this!

 

And you can buy the filter on-line for a pittance. Get several at once and you may get free shipping too!

Honda won't like me but a guy deserves a deal once in a while ... no?

Cheers

Simple DIY, but commonly overlooked. Those things get pretty nasty after a while.

 

Wow, thanks so much. Your pictures really did the trick. I even found stuff that fell behind the glove box. After 70k miles my filter was pretty dirty. I used my compressor to blow out the obvious debris and will have to break down and buy a new filter, but I'd rather do that than pay the dealer $75+ to replace it. I LOVE THIS FORUM!

 

I love you guys lol, I had to go to the dealer today for my oil change ( i run syntec oil) i make them did the oil change only already 90$ Can. a filter is 20 and the cabin filter 39$. the service guy ( my dealer got good service really nice people, but still overprice) told me my filters should be change they ask 112$ ( plus taxe) so it is like 50$ in time... damn the air filter took me 30sec to change ( super easy compare to my old E30). but i was fearing that the cabin filter would be complicated... it seem that i was wrong! more like 2-5 min...
i need yo find a cheap filter now ( 39$ is too much for a filter!) :-)

Thank Man for that i was searching for that kind of DIY

 

I must say, I am so glad that this has been helpful to the Fit community over the past 2 years. makes me feel good! I wish I still had my Fit...I miss it.

 

Many thanks "SSGD3". You saved me about $80 by posting this DIY.

 

glad to hear it zzyzx!

 

thank you for this thread. i just found it and it's very helpful. Thanks!

 

Hello all fello cheapos.
If you want a really cheap filter just get a furnace filter and cut it to size.
Even the smallest filter will make several filters for your fit.
You can get the furnace filter material in a folded up sheet and make more filters than you will ever need.
Easy to find at any Canadian Tire store and often on sale.
I do the same thing for my Subaru Legacy Turbo.

Cheers

I had moved all of my stored photos so I updated the URLs on this DIY. All the images are back now!

 

That's great. You've saved myself and probably countless others tons of money. Dealers really rip people off for this install.
