Honda Accord LX 6 speed manual.

Time for me to start doing some of my onw work, so starting with the easy stuff - filters:

Found these on Amazon:
-- ​​​​​​Genuine Honda 17220-5A2-A00 air cleaner element assembly, and
-- Genuine Honda 80292-T0G-A01 filter element. Evidently this part # is superseded by 80292-SDA-407

Good prices on Amazon, and both noting that they are Genuine Honda.

BUT some reviewers of the (cabin) element filter noted it was NOT a genuine Honda filter, rather an aftermarket one.

So 2 questions:

Does the 80292-SDA-407 supersede the 80292-T0G-A01 filter element?

Is it worth buying these offf Amazon which might actually be aftermarket, or best to just go to a Honda dealer and get them there to assure I am getting truely genuine Honda parts?

thanks

 

I have used aftermarket intake air and cabin air ifilters w/o any problems. OEM is a good choice for critical parts; timing belt, water pump, etc.

good luck

 

I agree with TexasHonda, no benefit from spending the extra money for Honda filters when aftermarket are as good or better for less money. That said, it is OEM all day for stuff like suspension components, clutch kits, and the timing belt kit.

 

Remember, Honda doesn't manufacture the filters. In many cases, some of us know who makes certain things, like NGK & Denso sparkplugs; but I don't know who actually makes their air filters.

 

Go to Wal Mart for Frams their fine.

 

Thanks all, appreciate the input. Going with aftermarket.
