What is the part number of the air filter on a Honda Stepwagon?
There is no single universal air filter part number for the Honda Stepwagon—the correct number depends on the engine and model year.
The Stepwagon lineup has spanned several generations and markets, with different engine options and air intake configurations that use distinct filter elements and housings. To identify the exact part number, you’ll need details such as the engine type, year of manufacture, and regional specification, or use the vehicle identification number (VIN) to pull up the correct catalog entry.
Why part numbers vary across Stepwagon models
Air filter assemblies are tied to the engine family and intake design, which evolved through generations and markets. The same vehicle name can cover multiple engine configurations, each with its own corresponding part number.
- Different engine options used in Stepwagon generations (for example, varying displacement or turbo/hybrid configurations) necessitate different filter elements and housings.
- Regional variations (Japan, Europe, North America, and other markets) often have unique part-numbering even for similar-looking air filters.
- Vehicle generation and minor revision changes can swap filter media and mounting hardware, requiring a new part number.
In short, the exact part number depends on the engine, year, and market. Always verify against an official parts catalog or VIN-based lookup.
How to locate the exact air filter part number for your Stepwagon
To ensure you order the correct filter, follow these steps to identify the right part number for your Stepwagon:
- Gather your vehicle details: model year, engine code if known, and the market where the car was sold.
- Check the owner's or service manual for the air filter specification and any cross-reference numbers.
- Inspect the air filter housing for a stamped part number or barcode that matches a catalog entry.
- Use a VIN-based parts lookup on Honda’s official parts catalog or trusted dealer portals to pull the exact part number.
- Contact a Honda dealership or authorized parts retailer with your VIN to confirm the correct air filter assembly.
With the exact part number in hand, you can cross-check compatibility with your vehicle’s configuration (engine, trim, market) before ordering.
Tips for confirming compatibility
When in doubt, provide the retailer with your VIN and engine code. A live lookup can prevent ordering errors caused by inter-generational changes or regional differences.
