Thank you James. Helped me immensly. Saved me having to pay stupid money to Honda (almost $70.00) to replace a less than $20 Dollar part in just about a minute and a half.

[@JamesFixIt]

Definitely one of those simple things to save money on! Thank you!!!

[@SentraOG]

Update, in CA, It’s minimum $118 going to Honda Service Center

April 2023. Thanks. We plan to change the engine air filter on our 2021 Civic EX as it reaches 12k miles. We appreciate your taking the time to film and produce this video.

[@JamesFixIt]

Glad to help!

5/11/23. I'm an old guy -- having maintained at least 18 different vehicles since age 16 -- and this was the EASIEST MAINTENACE JOB I've ever done! The four screws that you mention stay fixed to the housing and don't get lost. We have the 2021 CIVIC EX (1.5 Turbo). I commented here several days ago, but decided to change our engine air filter at 16,800 miles for scheduling convenience. In fact, I replaced it this morning, using an EcoGARD XA10498. The process went smoothly. Thanks again.

[@JamesFixIt]

Great to hear that it’s something you were able to tackle yourself and save a few bucks! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@JahGotWings]

Great video! Dealership wanted $90 for cab air filter & they never even mentioned the engine air filter in that price! Bought both for less than $20 on Amazon.

[@samin_3]

Hey! Great video! Can u pls link the screwdriver u used to loosen the screws! Thank you

[@tylerfisher7889]

Thank you. This was a perfect video. I was about to pay my car dealership 150 bucks to do this. That would have made me mad.

[@JamesFixIt]

You're welcome! Glad to help save you a few bucks!

[@tonywong8134]

My dealer were aholes. $215 to replace both filters and they made sure to tighten the bolts to my engine air filter as tight as possible so i couldn't replace it myself. Spent $35 for bothbfilters and did it myself.

[@JamesFixIt]

Wow, it’s sad how dealerships treat loyal customers 👎🏽. Glad you were able to change the filters out yourself, properly, and at a fraction of the money 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@bruceyourface8330]

Hi james! Thanks for the vid. Just a question. Does performance air filter really give significant perfomance boost? (For example K&N Air filter)

[@JR-dd7sl]

Amazon says this will not fit my 2021 hatch. Says it fits 2021 vtec and mine is a cvt. Does it fit?

[@Deardeer4666]

Could you share the socket wrench size you used to unscrew here? My universal one won’t loosen the screws for me to do this

[@DavidAndTheDummies]

This helped a lot. Thanks for this upload!

[@JamesFixIt]

Glad it helped!

[@mariyamelshrief6474]

What do u do when the screws are stuck? I used an 8 mm screw bit and it doesn't want to lose up

[@JamesFixIt]

If they won't budge while using a screw bit, try moving onto a longer arm ratchet, or even an impact wrench to break them free. You can (lightly) spray something like WD40 or PB Blaster to assist with that.

[@CsGoUnlimited]

Do you know what size the 4 bolts on the air box are or where I can buy them?

[@spb81]

thanks mate - very helpful video 👍

[@JamesFixIt]

Glad it helped

[@rollin-rebuilds-uk7065]

Great upload, keep posting the information vids

[@JamesFixIt]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@rollin-rebuilds-uk7065]

@@JamesFixIt no probs bud all about the support car guys look out for each other

[@erick0480]

I disconnect the cable for mistake and a lot of check engine light come out of course a connected again but the lights still there? What i can do?

[@JamesFixIt]

Just verify that the disconnected cable is fully seated, and it should go away on its own (if that is in fact the issue). You can also try to disconnect the battery, then reconnect to let the system reset.

[@snoopy1981]

such a huge help James!

[@JamesFixIt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisreyes1105]

Does that filter fit a ‘21 civic hatchback sport touring?

[@carloswx2127]

Thank you for this guide. I changed the engine and cabin filters myself (total parts cost ~ $40) in less than 10 minutes! Well done. Added comment: your engine filter looked very dirty man... change it more often :)

[@JamesFixIt]

That’s great to hear! Nice work! 👍🏽

[@LaurenWittFilm]

Do you know if it would fit a 2021 Honda civic?

[@JamesFixIt]

Yes, this same filter and process would be the same for the 2021 model year 👌🏽

[@LaurenWittFilm]

@@JamesFixIt awesome thank you so much!

[@mikaylamae4341]

ummm…. hey….. trying to replace this on my own what screwdriver do i need to get how do i go to the store and make sure to get the right one lol

[@spamspam7748]

What screw driver do you use?

[@sourabhmarre]

I watched another video on how to change the cabin air filter as well all together I could replace the engine and cabin air filter in less than 15 minutes and the dealership wants to charge $180 that is just an absurd amount.

[@JamesFixIt]

Yes, it is pretty insane how much the dealership makes on simple replacements like these! Glad you saved that $180!

[@KurtVeibel]

Dude, thanks so much 🙏

[@JamesFixIt]

Welcome! 🙏🏽

[@Licuadosjugosyrecetas]

Thank you for the video brother

[@JamesFixIt]

You're welcome!

[@cesar3989]

Honda wanted to charge me $160 for this 😂

[@JamesFixIt]

Lol wow, but I am not surprised! 🤯

[@boomalog]

one of the head of the screws popped off, is 3 enough?

[@JamesFixIt]

I'd try and replace it as soon as possible...don't want dirty air to seep past that corner.

[@gilbert78]

thanks so much!!

[@ZaidKhan-rg1ng]

Great informative video. But please try to use genuine oem Honda air filter.

[@JamesFixIt]

Thank you! I usually stay with OEM parts on my cars in key areas, but I’ve had great experiences with quality aftermarket air filters.

[@TheeMoonstar]

Thank you!

[@JamesFixIt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@saftgrl5013]

Thanks!

[@JamesFixIt]

No problem!

[@YukYuk12]

I just opened up to change my filter and one of my bolts are missing

[@DB-sd3cw]

Dang that's crazy

[@freeborn7]

This does not apply to 2017, it looks completely different.

[@JamesFixIt]

Just a reminder that this is for the 1.5L engine with the turbo. The 2.0L will be different. Thanks

[@jtjoemamma]

thank you for saying its an 8mm. the bozos at valvoline overtightened them to the point theyd be stripped if i used a screwgie

[@danflick6669]

The bosos at Valoline over torqued mine and broke in half

[@jtjoemamma]

damn valvoline bozos

[@SimRan-ur5nl]

Dealership charging me $100CAD for this. Ridiculous

[@JamesFixIt]

Wow that is insane! DIY for sure!

[@layzy24]

Fucking air filters are now roughly $30 for OEM. Not going that route.

[@JamesFixIt]

Right? While I do go OEM for certain things for my cars, air filters is not one of them 😁

[@ArmorXIII]

You know what my dum dum brain broke off one and lost one in the engine bay
