2023 Acura RDX Air Filter in Marietta, GA | Nalley Acura

The engine air filter on the 2023 Acura RDX sits inside the airbox in the engine bay, typically on the passenger side near the intake snorkel.

Access is through the engine bay: remove two or three clips or screws on the airbox cover to reveal the rectangular pleated filter element. The placement makes the engine filter easy to inspect visually during routine service at Nalley Acura in Marietta.

• Engine airbox located in the front corner of the engine bay
• Cover secured with clips or screws for easy removal
• Replacement is usually a quick visual inspection and swap

The cabin air filter on the 2023 Acura RDX is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Access typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the HVAC filter housing; some models include a simple access panel while others need a few fastener removals. Nalley Acura technicians perform this access and replacement to avoid interior trim damage.

• Located behind the glove box on the passenger side
• May require glove box drop or access panel removal
• Inspect for pollen, dust, and debris before replacement

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

Engine filters protect fuel combustion efficiency and sensors such as the MAF, while cabin filters remove pollen, dust, and particulates to improve interior air quality. Both filters affect comfort and performance but serve distinct systems.

• Engine filter protects the engine intake and sensors
• Cabin filter improves HVAC airflow and passenger air quality
• Replacement intervals and symptoms differ between the two

Common signs on a 2023 Acura RDX include reduced throttle response, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter), and weak HVAC airflow or musty smells (cabin filter).

Engine-side restriction can cause a noticeable loss of responsiveness and may trigger reduced efficiency; cabin filter restriction shows up as reduced blower output or odors. Early inspection prevents secondary issues such as MAF contamination or excessive HVAC strain.

• Engine: reduced acceleration, stalling, or lower MPG
• Cabin: weak airflow, odors, or increased dust in the cabin
• Inspect both filters during routine service to prevent sensor issues

• Engine filter: straightforward swap for competent DIYers
• Cabin filter: may need trim removal—dealer can prevent damage
