Where is the engine air filter located on a 2024 Honda Ridgeline?

On the 2024 Honda Ridgeline you’ll find the airbox on the driver’s side front of the engine compartment; the filter sits inside the housing and is accessible after removing the housing clips or screws.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2024 Honda Ridgeline?
The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC system for occupants.
For the 2024 Honda Ridgeline the engine filter prevents dirt and particulates from reaching the engine and mass airflow sensor, protecting power and fuel economy. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box or HVAC access panel and removes pollen, dust, and road particles from the passenger compartment air. Nalley Honda uses genuine Honda parts when replacing either filter to meet OEM specifications.
- Engine filter protects the engine and intake components.
- Cabin filter protects occupants and HVAC components.
- Both filters affect comfort and component longevity.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2024 Honda Ridgeline?
Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, and weak HVAC airflow or musty cabin odor.
On a 2024 Honda Ridgeline, an engine air filter clogged with dust and road grime can reduce throttle response and efficiency, while a soiled cabin filter will limit HVAC airflow and may cause unpleasant smells when the system runs. Nalley Honda technicians will inspect both filters and related components during service visits to diagnose the root cause of symptoms.
- Engine: reduced power, sluggish acceleration, or poor MPG.
- Cabin: weak blower airflow, odors, or increased dust inside the cabin.
- Inspection can reveal intake leaks, debris, or filter collapse.
Can I replace the air filter on my 2024 Honda Ridgeline myself, or should Nalley Honda do it?
