Hey guys, does anyone know what color are Honda’s Air filters? I was told the original ones have a reddish tone to them, is that true? I’m look specifically for this Part #17220-R5A-A00. Thanks for your time.
The air filters I purchase from the local dealership for my 2009 are that light/white color on one side and blue/green on the other. Different application than yours though.
I've seen Honda filters in the yellowish color like your first picture, and also the light white/blue-green that NOLA-Dan describes above. As most OEMs do, Honda farms out the manufacturing of these filters to a company like Wix or Purolator, or whatever. It's not uncommon for an OEM to change supplier and keep the same part number (since the functional design hasn't changed even if the element color has), so I wouldn't worry about the color. As long as your part bares the Honda number that you're looking for, and you trust the seller, you should be in fine shape.
