What Is the Honda Civic Air Filter 17220-PLC-Y0K?

The Honda Civic Air Filter 17220-PLC-Y0K is an engine air cleaner element listed for selected Honda Civic models. The engine air filter helps prevent dust, dirt and other airborne particles from entering the engine through the intake system. Proper air filtration supports normal engine operation and helps protect internal engine components from contaminants.

This filter is installed inside the engine’s air cleaner housing. As the vehicle is driven, particles collect in the filter material. Over time, a clogged or dirty filter can restrict airflow, which is why periodic inspection and replacement according to the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule are important.

Compatibility: Honda Civic 2001–2006

OEM parts listings associate part number 17220-PLC-Y0K with selected Honda Civic applications in the 2001–2006 range.

Compatibility may vary by engine, chassis code, production date and destination market. Do not assume that every Honda Civic produced during these years uses the same air filter. Before ordering, compare the part number on the existing filter with 17220-PLC-Y0K or confirm the application through the vehicle’s parts catalogue.

Why Is Engine Air Filter Replacement Important?

The engine requires a supply of filtered air for normal combustion. Dust and debris accumulate in the filter as the vehicle is used, particularly in dusty driving conditions. A heavily contaminated filter may restrict airflow and reduce filtration efficiency.

Inspect the filter according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and replace it when required. A correctly fitted element helps prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter and entering the engine.

How to Confirm the Correct Part

Before purchasing, check the OEM number printed on your existing air filter or consult a Honda parts catalogue using the vehicle’s model, year, engine and chassis details. If the original number differs, confirm whether it is an officially compatible replacement rather than relying on a similar-looking filter.

Authenticity note: The OEM reference identifies the specified Honda part, but the part number alone does not verify the authenticity of the item in stock. Confirm packaging and supplier documentation before advertising the physical product as genuine.
