Typically, the engine air filter for a 2014 Honda Civic with the common 1.8-liter engine uses part number 17220-RBB-003. However, numbers vary by region and engine variant; verify with your VIN or by inspecting the housing.
This article explains how to identify the exact engine air filter number for your vehicle, how to distinguish between engine and cabin filters, and where to look up the correct part so you order the right replacement.
Engine air filter vs. cabin air filter
The question refers to the engine air filter. The cabin air filter—the one behind the glove box or under the dash—has a different part number. Make sure you’re ordering the engine filter if that’s what you need.
How to tell them apart
Engine air filters sit in a housing under the hood and typically have numbers like 17220-XXXXX. Cabin filters sit behind the glove box and use a different mounting and numbering scheme. Always check the label on the filter housing or the vehicle’s parts catalog to avoid confusion.
To confirm the exact part number for your 2014 Civic's engine air filter, follow these steps:
- Inspect the engine air filter housing under the hood for a stamped part number on the filter or the lid.
- Check your owner's manual or service manual for the recommended OEM part number.
- Use your VIN to look up the exact engine air filter in Honda's official parts catalog or a trusted parts retailer (many sites allow VIN-based lookup).
- When ordering, specify the engine code (for the common U.S. 1.8L Civic, R18Z1) and the model year to ensure compatibility.
- If you’re unsure, call a Honda dealer with your VIN to confirm the exact number before purchasing.
Using these steps helps ensure you get the right engine air filter for your 2014 Civic, minimizing the chance of ordering the wrong part.

For the 2014 Honda Civic, the engine air filter number typically cited for the widely sold 1.8L variant is 17220-RBB-003, but you should confirm this exact code using your VIN, by inspecting the housing, or through a dealer lookup.
