The 2015 Honda Accord uses a cartridge-style oil filter housed in a protective canister. The exact OEM part number varies by the engine under the hood: the 2.4L four-cylinder commonly uses Honda’s cartridge filter 15400-PLM-A01 (with later revisions such as A02), while the 3.5L V6 uses 15400-RAA-A01. Always confirm with your vehicle’s VIN to ensure the correct part.
Engine options and oil filter types
Most 2015 Accords are powered by either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6. Each engine uses a cartridge-style oil filter in a housing, but the exact part number differs between engines and revisions. Here are the typical OEM options you’ll encounter.
Two engine options
- 2.4L four-cylinder (the majority of 2015 CCs): Honda OEM cartridge oil filter typically listed as 15400-PLM-A01, with revisions like 15400-PLM-A02 appearing in later service materials.
- 3.5L V6: Honda OEM cartridge oil filter typically listed as 15400-RAA-A01.
These part numbers reflect factory catalog listings and can vary by market or revision. If you’re replacing the filter yourself, verify that your exact VIN pulls the correct part from a Honda parts catalog or dealership system.
How to confirm the exact filter for your car
Because Honda updates part numbers and there can be regional variations, it’s best to verify using reliable sources tied to your VIN. The steps below help ensure you install the correct filter.
VIN-based verification
- Locate your vehicle’s VIN (usually on the dashboard, driver’s door frame, or registration documents).
- Enter the VIN into an official Honda parts lookup or speak with a dealership parts counter to pull the exact oil filter number for your specific vehicle.
- Cross-check the filter element and O-ring/seal requirements to ensure you’re buying the correct cartridge and gasket.
By confirming with VIN-based catalogs, you avoid mismatches that could lead to improper fit or filtration performance.
Maintenance notes
When you replace the oil filter, replace any associated O-ring or seal as recommended by Honda, and ensure you use the correct filter wrench or housing tool if applicable. If you’re using an aftermarket filter, verify compatibility with the cartridge-style housing and confirm that the filter element meets Honda’s flow and filtration specifications.
Summary
For the 2015 Honda Accord, the oil filter is cartridge-based rather than a traditional spin-on. The engine determines the exact part number: the 2.4L I-4 typically uses 15400-PLM-A01 (with later A02 revisions), while the 3.5L V6 uses 15400-RAA-A01. Always verify the correct part using your VIN through a Honda parts catalog or dealership to ensure a proper fit and seal, then replace the filter and O-ring during oil changes.
