The oil filter part number is not universal for all 2020 Accords; it depends on the engine. This article explains how to determine the correct OEM number for your car.
The 2020 Honda Accord was offered with two engines in many markets: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Each engine uses a different oil filter, so you’ll need to confirm which powertrain your vehicle has (often via the VIN or engine code) to obtain the exact part number.
Why part numbers vary by engine
The filter’s size, thread configuration, and cartridge design can differ between engine options. As a result, the official Honda part catalog assigns distinct numbers for each engine type to ensure compatibility and proper filtering performance.
Two engines commonly found in the 2020 Accord
In the United States, the Accord's two main offerings for that model year were a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 2.0L turbocharged engine. These engines have separate oil filter part numbers in Honda’s official parts database, reflecting their different specifications. To be sure you’re ordering the correct part, you should verify your exact engine type and VIN.
How to identify the exact part number for your car
The steps below help you locate the precise OEM oil filter number so you can order the correct part the first time.
- Identify your engine type or check the VIN to confirm whether your Accord uses the 1.5L turbo or the 2.0L turbo engine.
- Consult Honda’s official parts catalog or the parts lookup tool using your VIN to pull up the exact oil filter part number for your vehicle.
- If you have the existing filter, remove it and read the part number printed on the filter body or packaging (the number is usually molded or labeled on the filter canister).
- When in doubt, contact a Honda dealer’s parts department with your VIN and they can verify the exact part number for your specific vehicle configuration.
Following these steps will help ensure you get the correct OEM oil filter number for your 2020 Honda Accord, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong part.
Where to source the correct filter and how to verify
Once you know the exact part number, you can source it from several reputable channels. Use the options below to verify compatibility before purchasing.
- Official Honda dealer parts department (provide your VIN for precise lookup).
- Honda official parts catalogs or authorized online retailers that allow VIN-based searches.
- Reputable aftermarket retailers that list OEM-equivalent filters compatible with the 1.5L or 2.0L Accord, ensuring cross-reference to the Honda part number.
Using these sources helps you confirm the correct part number and ensures you’re buying a filter that meets Honda’s specifications for your engine.
Summary
There isn’t a single oil filter part number for every 2020 Honda Accord. The correct number depends on whether your car uses the 1.5L turbo or the 2.0L turbo engine. To obtain the exact OEM part number, verify your engine type (via VIN or engine code) and consult Honda’s official parts catalog or your dealer. Reading the filter itself or packaging can also confirm the number before you purchase. If you’d like, share your VIN or engine code and I can help identify the precise part number for your car.
