Bosch Workshop Air Filter 5157WS

Bosch Workshop Air Filter 5157WS is an engine air filter built for select Acura and Honda applications. Its panel shape and high-pleat media design help maintain clean intake airflow while filtering out airborne debris that can enter the engine.

Compatible With 2004-2008 Acura RL, 2004-2006 Acura TL, and 2005-2007 Honda Accord applications, this Bosch air filter is a direct service part for routine intake system maintenance. The 5157WS part number is also referenced for the same application as 17220RCJA00 and 17220RDAA00.

Product Details

Bosch Workshop Air Filter 5157WS uses a high-velocity cellulose cured media with a dense pleat structure to capture outside particles before they reach the engine. The polyurethane sealing edge helps maintain a consistent seal at the airbox, reducing the chance of unfiltered air bypassing the element. For drivers searching for an Acura RL engine air filter, Honda Accord air filter, or Acura TL replacement air filter, this part number provides a straightforward service replacement for the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references 17220RCJA00 and 17220RDAA00 for the same application.

Common Issues This Filter Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or loaded air filter
• Dust and road debris entering the intake tract
• Reduced engine protection from a worn sealing edge
• Service intervals where the factory air filter needs replacement
• Loss of intake efficiency from a damaged panel filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the airbox shape and part number before installation. Inspect the air filter housing for dirt, leaves, or debris, and clean the airbox before installing the new filter. Make sure the filter seats evenly in the housing so the polyurethane seal contacts the airbox perimeter correctly.

Quality Assurance

Bosch designs its Workshop Air Filter line with high pleat count media and a sealing system intended to maintain filtration performance under normal engine bay heat and moisture exposure. The 5157WS is built as a service replacement for the listed Acura and Honda applications.
