Understanding the price bands helps you compare options quickly. Prices shown are for new filters only; labor is separate unless you’re DIY-ing the replacement.

Where to buy and how it affects price
Where you buy matters for selection, price, and availability. Here’s a snapshot of common buying channels.
- Honda dealership parts department: usually higher prices but guaranteed OEM fit; expect roughly $25–$60 depending on part and engine
- Online retailers (Amazon, RockAuto, AutoZone online): broad price range; typical filter prices $8–$40, with some brands higher
- Local auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA): mid-range pricing, often $10–$40
- Warehouse clubs or discount outlets: occasional deals, commonly $8–$30
To maximize value, compare several retailers for the exact fitment and read customer reviews on filter quality and performance. Prices fluctuate based on stock and promotions.
DIY vs professional installation
Replacing an engine air filter on a Honda Accord is straightforward and usually takes about 5–10 minutes. Doing it yourself means you pay only the filter price. Having a shop do it will add labor costs, typically about $40–$90 in many markets, plus the filter price. Dealerships tend to be at the higher end of labor charges.

DIY replacements save money, while dealers and certain retailers may charge more for OEM parts and service.
