Where is the engine air filter located on the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon?

The engine air filter on the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is located inside the plastic airbox in the engine bay, ahead of the throttle body.

On the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon the airbox houses the engine intake filter and is accessible from the engine compartment without removing major trim. Locating the airbox is the first step for inspection or replacement and helps protect the 2.4L inline engine's MAF and intake sensors.

  • Filter sits inside the engine bay airbox.
  • Access usually requires removing the airbox cover clips or screws.
  • Nalley Acura techs inspect the intake housing and MAF when replacing the filter.
Where is the cabin air filter located on the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon?

The cabin air filter on the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon is located behind the glove box in the HVAC plenum.

Accessing the cabin filter typically requires opening and lowering the glove box or removing a small trim panel to reach the HVAC filter slot. Replacing the cabin filter restores airflow and reduces pollen, dust, and odors entering the passenger compartment.

  • Filter sits inside the HVAC plenum behind the glove box.
  • Replacement requires glove box trim removal in most cases.
  • Nalley Acura confirms fit and seals the filter to avoid bypass.
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon?

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

On the 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon the engine filter protects the 2.4L inline motor and sensors from dust and debris, helping preserve power and efficiency. The cabin filter improves interior air quality by trapping pollen, dust, and road particles before air reaches occupants.

  • Engine filter protects combustion and intake sensors (MAF).
  • Cabin filter protects HVAC system and passenger breathing air.
  • Both filters affect comfort and vehicle performance in different ways.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon?

Common signs include reduced engine power or acceleration, lower fuel efficiency, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

If you notice sluggish throttle response or a drop in MPG in your 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon, the engine intake filter and related components should be inspected. For the cabin filter, reduced blower output or a stale smell when the HVAC runs indicates a clogged cabin element.

  • Engine: reduced power, hesitation, or rough idle.
  • Cabin: weak airflow, odors, or increased dust in the cabin.
  • Nalley Acura inspects filters and the intake housing to diagnose causes.
Can I replace the air filters on my 2013 Acura TSX Sport Wagon myself, or should Nalley Acura do it?

You can often replace the engine air filter yourself because it's in the accessible airbox, while the cabin filter can require glove box trim removal and is commonly handled by a service technician.
