How many filters does a Honda HR-V have?

The Honda HR-V typically uses three main filters: the engine oil filter, the engine air filter, and the cabin air filter. There is no separate, serviceable fuel filter on most HR-V models—the fuel filtration is integrated into the fuel pump assembly inside the tank.


What filters are included in the HR-V


These are the filters most owners encounter during routine maintenance. Two are straightforward external replacements, while the fuel filtration is built into the fuel delivery system.



  • Engine oil filter: Replaced with every oil change; located near the engine, and changed as part of standard oil service.

  • Engine air filter: Replaced when the intake path gets dirty; typically located at the top or side of the engine bay. Replacement intervals vary, often around 30,000 miles (48,000 km) in normal conditions, sooner in dusty environments.

  • Cabin air filter: Filters air entering the HVAC system; usually located behind the glove box. Replacement intervals commonly range from 15,000–30,000 miles (24,000–48,000 km) or 1–2 years, depending on environment and driving conditions.


In short, the HR-V relies on three core filters, with two requiring regular external replacements and the third being the engine oil filter, which is changed during oil service.


Fuel system filtration


Note on the fuel system: In most HR-V markets, there is no separate serviceable fuel filter. Filtration is provided by the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank, which is not replaced as an independent part. If service is needed, the pump assembly is typically replaced rather than a standalone fuel filter.



  • Fuel filter: Not a separate, user-serviceable part on typical HR-V models; filtration is integrated into the fuel pump assembly in the tank.


Conclusion on fuel filtration: HR-Vs generally do not require a distinct fuel filter replacement; maintenance guidance focuses on the oil, engine air, and cabin air filters.


Summary


Bottom line: the Honda HR-V has three primary filters—engine oil, engine air, and cabin air. There is no separate, replaceable fuel filter in most versions, as fuel filtration is handled within the fuel pump assembly inside the tank. Always consult your owner's manual for exact intervals based on your model year and driving conditions.

How often should I replace HRV filters?


every 2 months
Dirty or clogged filters can lower ventilation efficiency. You should clean or replace your filters every 2 months. Fortunately, if your HRV is easily accessible, this takes only 5 minutes to do. Filters in most new HRVs can be easily removed, vacuumed, and washed with mild soap and water.
