Parts for your 2006 Honda Elysion-Oil filter

2006 Honda Elysion Oil Filter

Based on Honda technical literature, the 2006 Honda Elysion (RR1/RR2) is fitted with a full‑flow spin‑on engine oil filter. The Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue for the K24A 2.4 i‑VTEC and J30A 3.0 V6 variants lists an OEM filter such as 15400‑PLM‑A02 (with superseding numbers like A01/A06 used by Honda over time), and the Elysion service manual lubrication section specifies routine oil and filter replacement. An oil filter is therefore relevant and required on this model.

On this Elysion, the oil filter’s job is straightforward but vital: it traps metal particles, soot and sludge so clean oil can circulate, protecting bearings, cam lobes and the i‑VTEC hardware. A healthy filter helps maintain correct oil pressure, while the built‑in bypass and anti‑drainback valves keep flow steady and reduce dry starts after the vehicle has been parked.

For everyday motoring across Australia and New Zealand, the smart approach is to replace the filter with every oil change. Many workshop schedules aim for about 10,000 km or 6–12 months, whichever comes first. Vehicles that do short trips, lots of stop‑start city work, towing or hot‑climate highway runs benefit from shorter intervals (around 5,000–7,500 km). Always match the filter to the engine variant (K24A or J30A) and confirm the current Honda supersession or a quality equivalent listed for the Elysion in a reputable parts catalogue.

Good workshop habits keep the Elysion happy for the long haul:

• Warm the engine, drain the oil fully and replace the 14 mm Honda crush washer on the sump plug.
• Lightly oil the new filter’s rubber seal, spin it on until the gasket contacts, then tighten about three‑quarters of a turn by hand (no over‑tightening).
• Use the oil grade shown on the filler cap/owner’s manual, fill to the correct volume in litres, then start the engine and check for leaks.
• Shut down, wait a few minutes, recheck the dipstick and top up to the upper mark. Inspect again after the first drive.
• Never double‑gasket a filter, and dispose of old oil and the filter at a local recycling facility.

Sticking to fresh oil and the right filter helps the Elysion’s K‑series four or J‑series V6 run smoother, quieter and more efficiently, reducing wear and fuel consumption while keeping the service history tidy for future resale.

Popular questions

Which oil filter fits a 2006 Honda Elysion?
Honda specifies a spin‑on full‑flow filter for both the K24A 2.4 and J30A 3.0 V6. Typical OEM part numbering includes 15400‑PLM‑A02 (with superseding numbers like A01/A06). Quality aftermarket equivalents are widely catalogued against the Elysion, selecting by engine code and VIN ensures the right thread, gasket diameter and bypass settings.

How often should the oil filter be changed?
Best practice is with every oil change. For most AU/NZ conditions, that’s about 10,000 km or 6–12 months. Where the vehicle sees lots of short trips, towing or hot highway work, shorten the interval to around 5,000–7,500 km to keep oil pressure stable and contaminants in check.

What are signs the oil filter needs attention?
A clogged or incorrect filter can show up as noisy cold starts, fluctuating oil pressure warnings, darkened oil soon after a change, or minor leaks around the filter seal. If any of these appear, confirm the correct filter is fitted, inspect the gasket area for a stuck old seal, and replace the filter and oil promptly.
