The correct oil filter for a 2017 Honda Civic depends on the engine installed. If your Civic uses the 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine, the Honda Genuine Oil Filter is 15400-PLM-A01; if it uses the 1.5-liter turbo engine, the filter is 15400-PLM-A02.
Engine options and corresponding filters
The 2017 Civic offered more than one four-cylinder powertrain in the United States, so the filter number aligns with the engine type. Always confirm with your vehicle’s VIN to be certain.
- 2.0L i-VTEC engine — Honda Genuine Oil Filter 15400-PLM-A01
- 1.5L turbo engine — Honda Genuine Oil Filter 15400-PLM-A02
If you are unsure which engine you have or if the part number on your current filter matches, verify using your VIN, the owner's manual, or by contacting a Honda dealer for the precise replacement part for your vehicle.
aftermarket cross-references and buying tips
Beyond the official Honda part, many reputable aftermarket brands offer compatible oil filters. Use each brand’s cross-reference tool to locate a matching filter by entering your Civic’s year and engine, then compare specifications to ensure a proper fit.
- Use the brand’s cross-reference database to find aftermarket filters suitable for the 2017 Civic’s engine type.
- Check the filter’s specifications—thread size, gasket type, and filtration rating—along with the recommended oil (0W-20 for most Civics).
- When in doubt, consult a parts professional or your dealer to confirm fitment for your exact VIN.
Note: Cross-reference results can vary by brand and production date, so always double-check against your specific vehicle VIN and current filter.
Summary
For a 2017 Honda Civic, the oil filter you need depends on the engine: 15400-PLM-A01 for the 2.0L engine and 15400-PLM-A02 for the 1.5L turbo. Verify with your VIN or dealer, and consider reputable aftermarket cross-references as a backup, ensuring the part matches your engine, mounting, and gasket specifications.
