The engine air filter on the 2012 Acura RL is located in the engine bay inside the plastic intake airbox near the front/passenger-side of the engine compartment.

Accessing the filter requires opening the airbox cover, which is secured by clips or screws. The cabin filter for the 2012 Acura RL is typically located behind the glove box and may require glove box removal to access.

The engine air filter protects the 2012 Acura RL's combustion system; the cabin air filter protects the vehicle interior and HVAC system.

The engine filter stops dust and debris from reaching the throttle body and engine, preserving power and fuel economy. The cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and particulates before they enter the passenger compartment, improving interior air quality and HVAC performance.

• Engine filter = intake protection for combustion and emissions systems
• Cabin filter = HVAC and passenger air quality protection
• Both filters should be inspected during routine service for the 2012 Acura RL

Common signs on a 2012 Acura RL include reduced engine power and lower fuel economy for a clogged engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for a clogged cabin filter.

If you feel reduced acceleration, rough idle, or see increased fuel consumption, the engine intake filter should be inspected. If HVAC airflow is weak, vents smell musty, or you notice increased dust in the cabin, the cabin filter likely needs replacement.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, rough idle, higher fuel use
• Cabin symptoms: weak airflow, odors, increased dust in cabin
• Have Nalley Acura inspect filters and intake components during service
