For a 2014 Honda Civic, the oil filter part number you need depends on the engine. The most common case is the 1.8-liter engine, which uses Honda's oil filter 15400-PLM-A02. If your Civic is the 2.4-liter variant (the Civic Si), the filter is different and you should look up the exact number via VIN-based lookup or the parts catalog.
In 2014, the Civic lineup offered two gasoline engines in many markets: the 1.8L i‑4 and, in the Si trims, a 2.4L i‑4. The oil filter part number is not universal across these engines, so confirming the engine type and using a reliable parts lookup is essential.
Engine options and typical oil filter numbers
The following outlines the two main engine configurations for the 2014 Civic and the typical oil filter numbers associated with each.
- 1.8L inline-4 (R18A) — Honda commonly lists 15400-PLM-A02 as the original equipment oil filter for this engine in many markets.
- 2.4L inline-4 (Civic Si, K-series lineage) — The oil filter is a different part number; please verify via VIN-based parts lookup or the service manual, as it varies by production batch and market.
Because part numbers can vary by market and production run, the exact filter for your car should be confirmed before purchasing. If you’re unsure, the safest step is to check the old filter for the part number or perform a VIN-based search on Honda’s official parts lookup or a trusted retailer.
How to find the exact part number for your car
To ensure you get the correct oil filter for your 2014 Civic, follow these steps:
- Identify your engine code and trim (for example, 1.8L with LX or EX, or 2.4L in Si models).
- Use your vehicle’s VIN to perform a parts lookup on Honda’s official parts site or a trusted retailer that supports VIN search.
- Cross-check the listed oil filter with the filter you remove or with the part maps in the service manual or owner's manual.
If you prefer a quick route, you can visit a Honda dealership parts counter or an online shop and search using "2014 Civic oil filter 1.8L" or "2014 Civic Si oil filter 2.4L" to retrieve the correct OEM number. Always ensure the source reflects the exact market (US, Canada, Europe) and production year range.
Summary
For most 2014 Civics, the standard oil filter number for the 1.8L engine is 15400-PLM-A02. The 2.4L engine used in the Civic Si requires a different part number. Always verify with VIN-based lookup or the official parts catalog to ensure the correct filter for your specific car and market. Keeping the proper filter on hand helps ensure proper lubrication and engine protection.
