The oil filter you need depends on the Civic’s engine. In most 2014 Civics with the 1.8-liter engine, Honda Genuine oil filters are commonly listed as 15400-PLM-A02, while the 2.4-liter Si uses a different Honda filter such as 15400-PRB-A02. Always verify with your VIN or by checking the existing filter.
In 2014, the Honda Civic offered two four-cylinder engines: a 1.8-liter i-VTEC in base trims (LX, EX, EX-L) and a 2.4-liter i-VTEC in the Civic Si. The exact filter must match the engine’s specifications, thread size, and oil-filter adapter. Production revisions can swap part numbers within a given engine family, so confirming the exact number is a good precaution when ordering a replacement.
Engine options and matching filters
To help you identify the right filter, here are practical steps to determine the correct part number for your Civic’s engine.
- Identify your engine: 1.8L (LX/EX/EX-L) or 2.4L (Si).
- Check the current filter for a stamped part number on the end or side of the filter canister.
- Consult the owner's manual or Honda's official parts database using your VIN for the exact model-year fit.
- Ask a Honda dealership or reputable parts retailer with your VIN if you’re unsure.
By following these steps, you can confirm the precise filter your car requires and avoid ordering the wrong part.
Common OEM part numbers by engine (with revision caveats)
Below are the commonly referenced Honda Genuine oil filter part numbers for the two engine configurations found in the 2014 Civic. Note that revisions exist, and production date or region can change the exact number.

Always verify the exact part number against your vehicle’s VIN or the filter you currently have installed, since revisions and regional parts catalogs can differ.
