2025 Acura RDX Air Filter in Marietta, GA | Nalley Acura

The engine air filter on the 2025 Acura RDX is located in the engine bay inside the intake airbox near the front of the engine compartment.

On the 2025 Acura RDX the intake housing sits toward the front of the engine bay; the filter is held in a snap- or screw‑clamped cover for access. Nalley Acura technicians inspect the housing seals, intake tubing and the MAF sensor when replacing the filter to ensure proper airflow and sensor readings.

• Filter sits in the plastic intake airbox in the engine bay
• Access usually requires removing a few clips or a cover plate
• Technicians check intake seals and MAF sensor during service

The cabin air filter on the 2025 Acura RDX is located behind the glove box in the HVAC housing.

Accessing the cabin filter typically requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter door in the passenger‑side HVAC plenum. Nalley Acura inspects the filter housing and drain channels for blockage when replacing the cabin filter to prevent HVAC odors and moisture buildup.

• Behind the glove box in the passenger-side HVAC compartment
• Glove box removal or lowering is usually required for access
• Technicians inspect HVAC drain and housing for clogs

The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L intake and combustion system; the cabin air filter protects the HVAC system and passenger air quality.

The engine filter traps dust and debris before air reaches the turbocharger and MAF sensor, supporting performance and fuel economy, while the cabin filter captures pollen, dust, and road particles before air enters the passenger compartment. Both filters affect comfort and system longevity but serve distinct systems.

• Engine filter = combustion intake protection and engine performance
• Cabin filter = HVAC airflow, odor control, and passenger air quality
• Replacing both preserves engine and HVAC function on the 2025 Acura RDX

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for engine filter issues, and weak HVAC airflow with musty odors for cabin filter issues.

On the 2025 Acura RDX a dirty engine filter can make the turbocharged 2.0L feel less responsive and may trigger richer fuel trim readings; a clogged cabin filter reduces blower output and can allow odors or pollen into the cabin. Nalley Acura technicians diagnose airflow-related issues with visual inspection and system checks.

• Engine: reduced throttle response, rough idle, decreased MPG
• Cabin: weak A/C or heat airflow, unusual odors, increased dust in cabin
• Inspection identifies filter condition and related intake/HVAC issues

The engine air filter on the 2025 Acura RDX is often DIY-friendly with basic hand tools; the cabin filter is doable but may require glove-box removal and careful reassembly.

Many owners replace the engine filter at home, but Nalley Acura recommends dealer service when you prefer OEM parts, intake/MAF inspection, or when the cabin filter access requires trim removal. Dealer service includes disposal and a visual check of the intake and HVAC housings.

• Engine filter: accessible in the engine bay; simple clip/screw removal
