The HR-V uses Honda’s standard spin-on oil filter for its 1.8L i-VTEC engine; the exact part number depends on year and market (commonly around 15410-PLM-A01 or 15410-PLM-A02). Verify with your VIN or owner's manual.
Overview of the HR-V oil filter and oil specs
The oil filter on most HR-V models is a conventional spin-on filter that Honda uses across several engines. Because Honda updates part numbers across regions and model years, the precise replacement filter can vary. In addition to the filter, it’s important to follow Honda’s oil recommendations for your specific year and market.
Engine variants and compatibility notes
Most U.S. HR-Vs in the 2016–2022 window use a 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine (engine code commonly associated with the L-series family). Other markets or later generations may feature different powertrains, which can affect the exact filter part number. Always confirm the correct part by checking the vehicle’s VIN against Honda’s official parts catalog or with a Honda dealer.
To ensure accuracy, locate the current filter’s part number or consult the official parts lookup for your exact vehicle configuration before purchasing replacement filters.
Before replacing, gather the exact data to avoid ordering the wrong part.
- Check the engine code on the engine or in the owner’s manual (L15B7 is common for many North American HR-Vs with the 1.8L engine).
- Inspect the filter currently installed; the part number is usually printed on the canister lid or end cap.
- Use Honda’s official parts catalog or a trusted retailer with your VIN to pull the exact OEM filter part number.
- Verify oil type and capacity in the owner’s manual to ensure you use the recommended 0W-20 full-synthetic oil and replace the filter at the appropriate interval.
Concluding the steps, you will identify the precise filter part number and ensure you obtain the correct replacement for your HR-V, avoiding mismatches that could affect filtration or engine protection.
Practical buying tips
When shopping, you can source either Honda Genuine oil filters or high-quality aftermarket equivalents that meet OEM specs. Look for filters labeled as meeting Honda OE specs for the HR-V and ensure the filter fits your engine year and market. If in doubt, verify compatibility with your VIN.
Summary: The Honda HR-V uses Honda’s standard spin-on oil filter for the 1.8L i-VTEC engine; the exact part number varies by year and region. Always verify with your VIN and the owner's manual, and pair the filter with the recommended 0W-20 oil for your model.\n
