2005 Honda Accord Oil Filter

Your 2005 Honda Accord oil filter is a critical component of your car's engine. Cars rely on motor oil to act as a lubricant. The oil keeps the engine moving harmoniously, and limits friction. This keeps overheating from occurring, and also limits wear and tear. Over time though, bits of debris and contamination will shed from the engine and end up in the oil, which is where the filter comes in. Your Accord's oil filter keeps the bulk of those contaminants out of the oil, and thus from damaging your engine. Without a functioning filter, the oil will quickly get dirty and could cause severe engine damage. You can purchase oil filters for any year, make, model, and engine size at AutoZone.

The standard rule of thumb is that you should change your car's oil filter every other time that you change the oil. For the Accord, that means roughly every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, different engines have different maintenance schedules, so it's always best to consult your vehicle's manual.

Replacing Your 2005 Honda Accord Oil Filter

Changing the oil filter for your Honda Accords is a breeze, and should be done at the same time as an oil change. After draining the oil from your car, place the drip pan under the oil filter, and unscrew it. You'll usually need an oil filter wrench for this. Remove the old filter, lubricate the seal on the new one, and screw it in by hand. Add fresh oil to your car, and you're good to go.

AutoZone sells oil filters and the tools to change them, with Same-Day In-Store Pickup, and Free Next-Day Delivery when eligible.
