DAMN!!!! I changed mine about a month ago and I thought they were bad..... they were about half as dirty as yours. Now that the dust/pollen filters are good, I gotta do the A/C filter. I think I need to take the whole dash out in order to get to it though..... has anyone changed their A/C filter before? How long does it take?

Um... there are only 2 filters to my knowledge. Both are in the A/C evaporator behind the glove box.

nope theres also an A/C filter that is supposed to be replaced every 30k miles or 15k "if the vehicle is driven mostly in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and diesel-powered vehicles"

heres the directions from honda-


SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS components locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.

1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio, then write down the frequencies for the radio's preset buttons.

2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

3. Remove the dashboard.

4. With air conditioning; remove the evaporator.

5. Without air conditioning; remove the self-tapping screws, the moutning nut, the mounting bolts and the heater duct.

6. Disconnect the connectors (A) from the blower motor, the blower resistor and the recirculation control motor, then remove the wire harness clip (B). Remove the mounting nuts, the mounting bolt and the blower unit (C).

7. Install the unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

8. Make sure that there is no air leakage.

9. Enter the anti-theft code for radio, then enter the customer's radio station presets.

I've never taken my dash out so I have no clue how long it'd take. I'm guessing it would take all day.

has ANYONE ever replaced their A/C filter?????

There's ZERO chance that a filter that's supposed to be replaced every 30k mi. would be in a location that makes you pull out the whole dash.

Is someone going to pull out the whole dash every 1-2 years? :ugh:

take your glove box out.
take out the metal bar going across behind it.
slide open the air filter cover.MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION
