Opparts XC36080 Cabin Air Filter - Front

Cabin Air Filter Overview

The Opparts ECOGARD XC36080 cabin air filter is built for vehicles that use a particulate-style filter element behind the glove box or in the front HVAC filter location. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Honda and Acura applications, including Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, and Acura RDX fitments.

Key Features

• Particulate filter media captures airborne dust and debris entering the cabin.
• OEM-style construction uses materials matched to original equipment standards.
• Compact filter dimensions: 8.31 in. length, 8.07 in. width, and 1.14 in. height.
• Fits multiple Honda and Acura cabin filter applications, including glove box and front HVAC locations.
• Part number XC36080 for easy identification and ordering.

Detailed Fitment and Function

The ECOGARD XC36080 is a cabin air filter designed to clean incoming air before it reaches the passenger compartment. Its particulate media is intended to remove common airborne contaminants while keeping airflow restriction low, which is important for maintaining HVAC performance. This part number XC36080 is used across many Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, and Acura MDX applications, making it a practical replacement when the original cabin filter is due for service.

ECOGARD cabin filters are built with the same material approach used in OEM filters, giving buyers a familiar replacement standard for routine HVAC maintenance. For vehicles listed with glove box access, the filter is positioned behind the glove box; other applications use the front HVAC filter location. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Reduced cabin airflow caused by a loaded filter element.
• Dust and particulate buildup in the HVAC intake path.
• Musty or stale air from an overdue cabin filter service interval.
• Loss of filtration efficiency in the passenger compartment air system.
• Replacement needs for Honda and Acura cabin filter service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s cabin filter location before ordering, since fitment includes both glove box and front HVAC placements depending on application. Match the filter dimensions and part number XC36080 to the existing filter specification. For many listed vehicles, access is straightforward and does not require special tools.

Quality Assurance

ECOGARD cabin filters are constructed using materials aligned with OEM filter standards to balance particulate removal and airflow. The XC36080 is a fitment-based replacement for a broad range of Honda and Acura models, including Honda Civic and Honda CR-V applications.
