Where is the Odyssey Fuel Filter Located?
2 Answers
The Odyssey fuel filter is located under the second-row seats, on the driver's side rear. The fuel filter is integrated with the fuel pump assembly, so replacing the fuel filter requires removing the entire fuel pump assembly. The Odyssey is a mid-size 5-door, 7-seat MPV with body dimensions of 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1702mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 107kW at 6200rpm and a maximum torque of 175Nm at 3500rpm. The Odyssey features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I've been driving an Odyssey for many years, and every time I perform maintenance, I remember that the fuel filter is usually located in the engine compartment, right next to the firewall or somewhere close to the fuel rail, making it easy to find by simply opening the hood. Specifically, it looks like a small cylindrical component connected to the fuel line, sometimes on the passenger side of the engine area. The location is generally fixed, though there might be slight variations across different model years of the Odyssey—for example, post-2005 models mostly have it in that spot. Knowing this is crucial because a clogged filter can affect fuel efficiency and engine startup. I check it every 20,000 kilometers to avoid breaking down on the road. Don’t try to mess with it yourself—if you can’t find it, just go to the dealership; they’re more experienced. Being familiar with its location also helps prevent symptoms like engine shudder in advance, extending the life of your beloved car.
