Re: Odyssey A.C. Filter Changout?
Go to www.odyclub.com and do a search on the subject. There is plenty of
discussion. The procedure is not in the owners manual, it is in the service
manual. It requires a little dexterity but can be accomplished by anyone
with a little mechanical ability....

Guess again. The filter filters all air fed to the A/C -heater core. You
will find out when it blocks up and the A/C core freezes up...

That's not true. The filter is located directly in front of (literally
laying against the face of) the AC core. It filters the recirculated air as
well.

let it begin! the a/c filter filters all air! it lies right next to
the evaporator. on the oddy when you pull the glove box out, you have
to cut off the plastic piece that runs side to side, it's only there
for assembly line purposes. then 2 8mm bolts and 2 phillips screws
and your there.
