The engine air filter on the 2010 Honda Pilot is located in the engine bay inside a rectangular airbox on the passenger side near the front of the 3.5L V6 intake.

On a 2010 Honda Pilot the airbox is secured with clips or screws that are accessible without major disassembly; the housing sits ahead of the battery and beside the intake tubing. For drivers in Saint Augustine, FL, it’s easy to inspect visually for heavy dust or salt residue after coastal driving.

• Passenger-side engine bay, rectangular airbox
• Accessible clips or screws for removal
• Near intake tubing and ahead of the battery

The cabin air filter on the 2010 Honda Pilot is located behind the glove box and is accessible after lowering or removing the glove box door.

Replacement typically requires opening the glove box and releasing the stops or retaining clips so the glove box can swing down and reveal the filter housing. In coastal areas like Saint Augustine, pollen and sand can load the cabin filter faster, so visual inspection is recommended more frequently.

• Behind the glove box inside the HVAC filter housing
• Accessible after lowering the glove box door
• Often secured by a removable cover or clip

The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake; the cabin air filter protects the HVAC system and passenger air inside the 2010 Honda Pilot.

The engine filter keeps dust, sand, and debris out of the combustion system to protect the engine and MAF sensor and to help maintain fuel economy. The cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and road particles from entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system. Both serve different systems and should be inspected separately.

• Engine filter = protects combustion air and engine components
• Cabin filter = cleans air for HVAC and passengers
• Different housings and replacement procedures for each filter

Common signs on a 2010 Honda Pilot include reduced engine responsiveness, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and a musty or dusty cabin odor.

For the 3.5L V6, an engine air filter clogged with sand, pollen, or road dust can reduce airflow to the intake and make the throttle feel less responsive under load. A clogged cabin filter will reduce HVAC airflow and can cause odors; drivers in coastal St. Augustine should watch for accelerated loading from salt and sand.

• Engine: reduced power or sluggish acceleration
• Cabin: weak HVAC airflow and musty or dusty smells
• Visual: visibly dark or packed filter media

The engine air filter on a 2010 Honda Pilot is often DIY-friendly, while the cabin air filter usually requires glove-box removal and may be easier with dealer assistance.

Many owners can change the engine filter using basic tools and by unclipping the airbox; the cabin filter needs glove box access and sometimes trim removal. Coggin Honda Saint Augustine offers OEM-spec filters, a visual intake/MAF inspection, and proper disposal, which can save time and ensure correct installation if you prefer professional service.
