Product Details

The Bosch Workshop Air Filter line focuses on consistent intake filtration for routine service work. On this Bosch 5168WS filter, the pleated media is engineered to trap airborne contaminants before they reach the engine, while the polyurethane sealing edge helps preserve fit and sealing performance. For drivers searching for a 2006-2011 Honda Civic engine air filter, this part provides a direct service replacement in the panel format used by the application.

This part cross-references Honda (e.g., 17220RNAA00) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or loaded air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake system
• Reduced filtration performance during routine maintenance intervals
• Seal degradation from heat and moisture exposure
• Loss of filter surface area from a worn or poorly sealing element

Installation Notes

Install the Bosch 5168WS in the factory air filter housing for the listed Honda Civic years. Inspect the air box, lid, and sealing surfaces before installation, and replace the filter if the media is visibly dirty, damaged, or collapsed. Verify the panel shape and housing fit before closing the air box.
