Re: 2000 Odyssey cabin filter
You can also get the from several online dealer parts stores cheaper. Do a
google search or go to www.odyclub.com. The Honda yuppies will try to make you think it has to be Honda oem but they are no better than any of the quality after market filter. Until recently the Honda oil filter was just a repackaged fram.

This you cannot tell just by looking at it. I'm sure that's true, but comparing these side by side with the OEM filters, they have the same number of pleats with the same depth as the OEM and it appears to be the same materials. Remember, we're talking about the cabin filter here, not an engine critical part. The dealers here both wanted $60+ per filter (it uses two), which is just over the top for an air conditioner filter. |
