Acura RDX intake air cleaner/filter replacement

This video provides instruction on how to replace the engine intake air cleaner on the Acura RDX. This is a 2008 model with the filter being replaced for the first time in January 2012 with 40,000 miles on the vehicle - long overdue for a change! For instructions on how to change the interior cabin air filter see my other video. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Incredibly helpful, and saved a ton compared to what the dealer wanted for this. You were even thoughtful enough to share tricks about the washers, etc. Highly appreciated, and well-done!

Thanks man for a very helpful video, the procedure is very easy but nice to know that we can always check the video. The air filter was $20 from the dealership Canadian. They wanted $30 extra to install. Screw that! It takes about 3 minutes to change.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Just what I needed to do it myself.

I sure appreciate you taking time to do this. Your video on this and the cabin filter replacement were very good. I bought both filters, Wix brand, for $40, dealer wanted $140 to replace them.

No problem Garry... glad to help out! I love caring for my RDX on my own because maintenance is so easy on it!

Nice info, thx, well done.

FYI folks... try to get the filter on Amazon. I recommend buying 5-6 of them at once to save on shipping and then you're set to go for 5 years on changing your air filter! I actually change the air filter every other oil change (every 10,000 miles)

What’s the size and type of filter? Can you link in description? How often does it need to be changed?

Wolfgang51501986 I have a question. I have an 07 RDX, and the area under the ivtec cover is dirty, so dirty i thought it was the air filter and was going to replace it, is there any way to clean it?or should i not worry about it? ALso do you change your own oil? I ve wanted to do it but don't have jack stands so i got to a honda dealer, i was wondering if it was possible to change it by having on side of the car's wheel's on a curb to get to the filter and oil

[@Wolfgang51501986]

Avery, I have my entire engine compartment, underside of hood, and entire undercarriage steam cleaned once a year by San Jose Steam Clean. The steam is high pressure, delivered at 330psi at the nozzle. This really gets the ivtec cover clean and the intercooler very clean. I did a separate video on the oil change procedure. Yes you can change the oil without jack stands if you use the curb to get your RDX high enough (I remember doing it that way once actually). I think you will be impressed with how easy it is. Although, wear latex gloves and be prepared for lots of oil to drip down your arm and make a mess under your arm when you remove the oil filter. Have plenty of cardboard or newspapers under your arm when you remove the oil filter and a bag to put it in once removed - keep it upright until you get it in the bag. Good luck. -=Mike
