Engine air filters for a 2017 Honda Accord typically cost about $5–$40 for aftermarket parts and around $25–$60 for OEM dealer parts. Cabin air filters usually run about $15–$40, with higher dealer prices and lower online options. Labor for installation, if added, varies by shop.
Prices vary by filter type (engine vs cabin), retailer, and whether you install it yourself or have a shop do it. The 2017 Accord offers two common engine options (1.5L turbo and 2.0L turbo), but both use standard panel filters with pricing that generally tracks with aftermarket versus OEM parts. This article breaks down typical costs and buying options, and offers practical guidance on fit and installation.
Engine air filter: What to expect
Pricing overview
Typical price ranges for the engine air filter, shown by source, help you compare options before you buy.
- OEM Honda dealer/official parts: generally $25–$60
- Aftermarket brands from auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly): typically $5–$40
- Online retailers (Amazon, RockAuto, etc.): typically $5–$25
Prices can vary by region, promotions, and stock. Always verify the exact fitment for your 2017 Accord’s engine variant (1.5L or 2.0L) and ensure the filter matches your vehicle’s air box.
Cabin air filter: What to expect
Pricing overview
Cabin air filter prices tend to follow a similar pattern to engine filters, with aftermarket options typically cheaper than dealer parts—but some specialty cabin filters (carbon- or odor-reducing) can cost more.
- OEM Honda dealer/official parts: typically $20–$60
- Aftermarket brands: typically $10–$30
- Online retailers: typically $8–$25
Some cabin filters include enhanced features (carbon, anti-odor coatings) which can push price higher. Always confirm fitment for your 2017 Accord’s trim level and climate control configuration.
OEM vs aftermarket: value and fit
Choosing between OEM and aftermarket parts depends on budget, desired warranty, and confidence in fit. OEM parts offer guaranteed compatibility with Honda engineering specs, while reputable aftermarket filters can save money and still deliver reliable performance. Always check the product page for vehicle fitment and consider reading user reviews to gauge longevity and filtration quality.
DIY vs professional installation
Engine air filter replacement is typically a quick DIY job, often taking about 5–10 minutes. Cabin air filter replacement is usually about 5–15 minutes. If you opt for professional installation, you can expect labor costs in the neighborhood of roughly $20–$60 for an engine filter and $20–$120 for a cabin filter, depending on the shop, region, and whether any HVAC components are addressed during the visit.
Summary
For a 2017 Honda Accord, expect engine air filters to be roughly $5–$60 depending on aftermarket versus OEM, and cabin air filters to be about $8–$60. Shopping around, confirming exact fitment for your engine (1.5L or 2.0L) and trim, and weighing DIY versus professional installation will help you get the best value. If you need filtration upgrades (such as carbon cabin filters), budget a bit more for the higher-end options.
