The air filter part number for a 2013 Honda Accord depends on the engine under the hood. For the 2.4-liter inline-4, the OEM air filter assembly is typically 17220-RTA-A01. The 3.5-liter V6 uses a different air cleaner assembly with its own code, so you should verify which one matches your exact vehicle using your VIN or by checking the filter housing label.
Engine options and corresponding part numbers
Honda offered two engines in the 2013 Accord, and each uses a distinct air cleaner assembly. The following references indicate the typical OEM numbers by engine configuration.
- 2.4L inline-4 engine: 17220-RTA-A01
- 3.5L V6 engine: uses a separate air cleaner assembly with its own OEM code (verify with VIN or dealership catalog)
Note: The exact part number for the 3.5L V6 can vary by market and production date. Always confirm with the official parts catalog for your region or by providing your VIN to a dealer.
How to verify the exact part number
To ensure you order the correct filter, use these steps to confirm the exact part number for your car.
- Identify your engine type (2.4L I-4 or 3.5L V6) from the vehicle identification plate or your owner's manual.
- Check the air filter housing lid or the filter itself for a printed part number.
- Use Honda’s official parts lookup by entering your VIN on HondaParts or the local dealer site to pull the exact match.
- Cross-check any aftermarket replacement with the OEM number to ensure compatibility.
- When in doubt, call or visit a Honda dealer with your VIN to confirm the correct part number.
Confirming via the official catalog or your VIN helps avoid ordering the wrong air cleaner assembly.
Where to buy or cross-reference
Reliable sources for confirming part numbers or purchasing replacements include the Honda Parts official site, a local Honda dealership, and trusted auto-part retailers. Cross-referencing with the OEM number can help if you’re shopping aftermarket options.
- Honda Parts official catalog
- Authorized Honda dealership parts desk
- Reputable auto parts retailers (e.g., AutoZone, RockAuto) using the VIN for lookup
Using these sources increases the likelihood of obtaining the correct air filter assembly for your specific 2013 Accord configuration.
Summary
In short, the 2013 Honda Accord’s air filter part number is engine-specific: 17220-RTA-A01 for the 2.4L engine, while the 3.5L V6 uses a different assembly number that should be verified via VIN or the official parts catalog. Always double-check with the VIN and the dealer or catalog to ensure a precise match.
