In short: it depends on which engine your 2015 Accord uses. The 2.4-liter inline-4 calls for one filter, while the 3.5-liter V6 calls for another.
The 2015 Honda Accord offered two engines in most markets: a 2.4 L i-4 and a 3.5 L V-6. Each engine uses a specific oil filter designed to fit its oil passages and housing, so the exact part number can vary by market, production year, and VIN. To be sure, check the VIN-based parts lookup, inspect the current filter, or confirm with a Honda dealer or parts supplier before purchasing.
Engine options and compatible filters
Below are the most commonly used OEM filter numbers for the two engines in the 2015 Accord. Always confirm with VIN lookup or the current filter on your vehicle.
2.4L inline-4 engine
Common OEM filter for this engine (Honda Genuine):
- Honda Genuine Oil Filter: 15400-PLM-A02
Concluding note: Verify the exact part number with your VIN or by removing the existing filter and checking the label, as there can be regional variations.
3.5L V6 engine
Common OEM filter for this engine (Honda Genuine):
- Honda Genuine Oil Filter: 15400-PRB-A01
Concluding note: As with the 2.4L, confirm the correct filter by VIN lookup or by matching the filter you currently have, since production runs and markets may differ.
How to verify the correct filter for your Accord
Before you buy or replace the filter, use these steps to ensure you get the right part:
- Check your owner’s manual for the recommended filter part number or cross-reference.
- Inspect the existing filter on the engine to read its part number.
- Use your VIN to perform an official parts lookup with Honda’s parts catalog or consult your local dealer.
- If purchasing aftermarket, choose a filter that explicitly lists compatibility with the 2.4L or 3.5L engine, and verify thread size and O-ring dimensions.
Conclusion: The right filter depends on the engine, and the safest route is VIN-based verification or matching the current filter on the vehicle.
