This video walks you through the process of replacing the cabin air filter on a 2004 Odyssey. To be honest, you could probably use this for Odysseys dating back to 2000. It also applies to the Acura MDX, Ridgline, and Pilot of the same vintage. If you have this service done it can set you back a few bucks. If you do it yourself, you can save yourself quite a bit and you’ll know that the job was done right. I hope this video helps you if you decide to go that rout. Strangely, I don’t have any extra links for you for this video aside from the usual social network stuff. Enjoy the video!

nicely detailed!! did it in 20 min
Thank you Eric, woulda been frustrating without you
Thanx for helping me keep my 2001 Space Odyssey smelling great ! Great tips on the small details !!
You dont need to fully remove the steel guard.
Having removed the right side screws, I just pop the guard up, pivoting off the left most hard to reach screw. I pop the guard up and over the right side plastic fuse cover/wall/carpet pieces, then pivot the guard down to where its just out of the way of the cabin filter cover.
Remove filter cover, vacuum, install fresh filter, recover, tilt guard back up over the plastic wall bits till its back into position and reattach all screws. Just remove the right side and it saves a lot of frustration.
Thanks so much for this video
I changed my filter on my own LOL yay!!!
eric you are my HERO my new 04 ody needs repairs and your walikng me through it thank you sir
This 2004 Odyssey is amazingly more complicated than for the two later models, of which I watched videos in case I couldn't find this one. Who thinks of solutions to these puzzles?
Bonus — Radio code! Thank you. Replaced the battery and radio never came back. Now I can fix it.
What a complete PITA compared to other vehicles! Looks like it was designed to make money for the Honda service department…
Looks like an aftermarket Denso blower motor
Good stuff!
toyota so easy to change.
friend. do you have more videos for Honda Odyssey 2003 2003 2004. ???
Can you pull the heater core from there as well
Thank you for a great video, I just replaced the cabin filter in our family van with the help of your video. Feeling like a pretty accomplished Mom!
Thanks Eric for the video, I did the job and it went pretty well following your advice. I would only add that you do not need to unscrew completely the bolt on the left under the plastic (6:41 to 7:17 in the video). I had problems putting back the screw after changing the air filter and when I did the job again on another car, I just lose the bolt so that the metal bar can go down and I was able to change the filter without removing that screw completely. It saves a bit of time. Have a good one!
Honda improved the moronic design of this with the 2005 model. I'm in disbelief anyone with an ounce of intelligence would have designed this so poorly.
You make repairs for my dads cars so easy. Your AMAZING keep it up
Honda makes a lot of things hard.
Suggestions for removing the screw on the right that secures the metal bar when it is stripped ? Tried one of those screw removal tools for the drill (grabit) with no success. Someone had replaced my air filter in the past and managed to help me out this way.
