The K&N 33-2461 is a washable, reusable panel-style replacement for the 3.5L V6 in the Honda Odyssey. K&N describes its High-Flow line as layered, oiled cotton media designed to improve airflow and still capture contaminants. The filter is a drop-in that seats in the factory air box, and the manufacturer lists the fitment as the 2011-2017 Odyssey with the V6-3.5L F/I engine. Its panel measures 11.875 in (302 mm) long, 6.688 in (170 mm) wide and 1.063 in (27 mm) tall.
Compared with a disposable stock paper element, this filter is cleaned and re-oiled rather than thrown away. K&N backs it with a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited warranty and says it is engineered to last the life of the vehicle. The manufacturer promotes horsepower gains, but no dyno figure has been confirmed for this part, so buyers should not expect a specific number. Owners searching for a 2011 Odyssey 3.5L V6 performance air filter, a reusable washable Odyssey panel filter, or a K&N 33-2461 drop-in replacement will find the part's specs listed in the box below.
The manufacturer lists the fit as the 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey with the V6-3.5L F/I engine. Fitment details vary across sources, so confirm your model year and VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer states the filter arrives pre-oiled and is ready to drop into the factory air box. If you clean it later, the manufacturer's specified re-oiling amount is 1.01 oz (30 ml).
The manufacturer lists a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited warranty. Some sources describe a different warranty term, so confirm the current terms with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer says this filter does not require a specific installation procedure, since it is a direct replacement for the stock element. Still, the manufacturer's install guidance points to a few common issues. If the intake tube is rigid, disconnecting it from the air box lid can make the lid easier to maneuver. Some K&N filters need to be set into the lid first, so hold the filter in place with your index fingers while you reseat the lid. Make sure the filter sits in the lid groove and that the lid sits squarely on the base before fastening the clips. The clips will need more pressure than a stock foam seal, but if the pressure seems excessive or the air box bows, stop and recheck the fit. For newer Odyssey model years, the manufacturer lists a screwdriver as the typical tool and a 5-10 minute install time, but confirm those details for your specific year.
