Typically, the 2005 Honda Accord uses OEM part number 15400-PLM-A01 for the 2.4-liter engine, while the 3.0-liter V6 uses 15400-RAA-A01. Always verify with your VIN or owner's manual to be certain.
This article explains how to identify the correct oil filter based on engine variant, where to find the part numbers, and how to verify the right part when performing maintenance on your Accord.
Engine options in the 2005 Accord
In most markets, the 2005 Accord offered two main engines. The oil filter number depends on which engine your car uses, so it’s important to match the filter to your specific configuration.
2.4-liter inline-4 (commonly the K24A family): OEM oil filter number is typically 15400-PLM-A01. Some production runs may use 15400-PLM-A02 depending on market or revision.
3.0-liter V6 (J30A family): OEM oil filter number is typically 15400-RAA-A01. Confirm this matches your vehicle’s VIN and regional specifications.
Note: Exact part numbers can vary by production date and market. Always verify using your VIN-based parts lookup or by consulting the owner's manual.
How to verify the correct filter for your car
If you don’t have the engine code handy, you can still confirm the right filter by referencing your VIN, the manual, or a trusted parts catalog. Follow these steps:
- Use your 17-digit VIN to pull up the exact OEM oil filter for your car in Honda’s official parts catalog or a reputable retailer’s lookup tool.
- Check the owner’s manual or service booklet for the recommended filter part number corresponding to your engine type and model year.
- Inspect the filter currently installed and compare the part numbers or cross-reference data provided by the retailer to ensure you’re purchasing the correct filter for your engine.
- When unsure, contact a Honda dealer or a qualified mechanic to confirm the correct filter number for your exact vehicle configuration.
OEM parts ensure compatibility and reliability, but reputable aftermarket filters with the same thread size, gasket diameter, and anti-drainback valve can be suitable alternatives when properly matched.
Summary
For a 2005 Honda Accord, the typical OEM oil filter numbers are 15400-PLM-A01 for the 2.4L engine and 15400-RAA-A01 for the 3.0L V6. Always verify with VIN-based lookup or the owner’s manual to account for regional variations or production changes.
