In short, engine air filter and cabin air filter replacements typically cost about $30 to $100 at a shop. If you need other filters, or if your model year has a different setup, the price can be higher or lower depending on parts and labor. Your exact price will depend on the year of your CR-V, your location, and whether you choose a dealership or an independent shop.
As a practical guide, this article breaks down typical filter types found in most Honda CR-Vs, how often they’re replaced, and the price ranges you can expect when you need a filter replaced.
Common CR-V filters and typical costs
Engine air filter
Replacement costs vary by shop and location, but engine air filter replacements are among the most affordable routine services for a CR-V.
Costs for a shop replacement typically fall into the following ranges:
- Parts: $10-$25
- Labor: $20-$60
Overall you can expect about $30-$85 for a standard engine air filter replacement at a typical shop. Taxes and any disposal fees may apply.
Cabin air filter
Cabin air filter replacement is a common quick service that improves interior air quality. It’s usually a bit more expensive than an engine air filter due to access and part cost.
Costs for a shop replacement typically fall into the following ranges:
- Parts: $15-$40
- Labor: $20-$60
Overall you can expect about $35-$100 for a cabin air filter replacement. Some vehicles require additional labor if the filter is difficult to access.
Oil filter (part of an oil change)
The oil filter is normally replaced as part of a standard oil change, so many shoppers won’t see a separate line item for it. If you request a standalone oil-filter replacement, costs can be modest but vary by location.
Costs for a standalone oil-filter replacement (parts and labor) typically fall into the following ranges:
- Parts: $3-$12
- Labor: $20-$60
Combined with an oil change, the total for an oil-filter replacement is commonly rolled into the service price and may range roughly from $40 to $100 or more depending on oil type and shop fees.
Fuel filter
Fuel filters are not routinely replaced on many CR-V models; the filter is often located inside the fuel-pump assembly and not something owners replace on a regular basis. If your specific year has a replaceable fuel filter, you’ll typically see the following price ranges if you pay a shop to do it:
- Parts: $50-$150
- Labor: $50-$150
In total, a fuel-filter replacement could be roughly $100-$300, but many CR-V owners will never need to replace it as part of routine maintenance. Always check your owner's manual or consult a technician for your exact year and trim.
What affects the price?
Several factors shape the final bill, including the model year, local labor rates, whether you use a dealership or independent shop, and whether the service is done as part of a larger maintenance visit. DIY replacement can save money but requires appropriate tools and care.
Summary
Overall, for most Honda CR-V owners, the most common filter replacements (engine air and cabin air) cost around $30–$100 when performed at a shop. Oil-filter changes are typically included in oil changes, while fuel-filter replacements are not standard on many models. Always confirm the specific filter and service with your shop, and check your owner’s manual for intervals and recommendations. Regular replacement helps maintain engine performance and interior air quality.
