Steps to replace the air filter for the 8th Generation Accord: 1. The air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Open the glove box cover. 2. Locate the fixing clip on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward with force. Then remove the fixing clip of the glove box cover to detach it. 3. Squeeze both sides of the glove box towards the center with both hands, and the glove box can be removed. 4. After removing the glove box, you will see the air filter cover. Press the fixing clips on both sides of the cover with force, and the cover can be removed. 5. Pull out the old air filter to the outside, install the new air filter, and restore it to its original position in the reverse order of disassembly. The dimensions of the 8th Generation Accord are 4930mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1470mm in height, and it has a wheelbase of 2775mm.
Last time I helped my neighbor uncle change the air filter for his 8th-gen Accord, it was super easy. First, empty the glove compartment on the passenger side, then squeeze both sides inward with force to remove it. See that black plastic cover at the back? Gently pry open the clips and you'll see the filter. Remember to take a photo with your phone before removing it – the arrow should point toward the rear of the car for correct installation. When buying a new filter at the auto parts market, it's best to bring the old one to compare sizes. Last time I bought a cheap one and found the edges didn't seal tightly, allowing dust to leak in. When reinstalling, make sure the glove box damper rod aligns with the slot – you'll hear a click and it's done. The whole process takes less than ten minutes. Changing it monthly ensures fresh air in the car.
