2013 Honda Elysion Oil Filter — Purpose, Fitment and Service Advice
According to Honda service literature and parts catalogues for the 2013 Honda Elysion (covering the K24A 2.4-litre four and J-series V6 variants), the engine uses a spin‑on oil filter. Genuine Honda references commonly seen for these engines include 15400‑PLM‑A02 and 15400‑RTA‑003, confirming an oil filter is absolutely fitted and relevant to this model.
The oil filter’s job is straightforward but critical: it traps fine metal particles, combustion by‑products and sludge so the engine oil can keep bearings, cams and rings properly lubricated. Clean oil maintains oil pressure, reduces wear, and helps the Elysion start and run smoothly, day in and day out. Let that filter clog or degrade and the oil can bypass or lose flow, which isn’t great for longevity.
For Australian and New Zealand conditions, owners typically replace the oil filter at every oil change, commonly every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. If the Elysion mostly tackles short trips, hot summers, towing, or lots of stop‑start city driving, a shorter interval (around 5,000–7,500 km) is a smart move. Fresh oil and a quality filter are cheap insurance on a people‑mover that’s expected to be reliable.
Replacement is a simple bit of driveway maintenance for those comfortable with a spanner. A good practice is to use a reputable filter matched to the engine, lightly oil the rubber gasket, and spin it on hand‑tight, then snug it a further 3/4 turn. No need to overdo it. After refilling with the correct oil grade, run the engine, check for leaks, and top up if needed. Always dispose of used oil and the old filter responsibly at a recycling facility.
Tell‑tale signs the filter and oil are overdue can include a noisy start‑up, darker‑than‑usual oil soon after a change, or a flicker from the oil pressure warning light. The best guide remains the service schedule in the owner’s manual, but sticking to the “filter at every oil change” rule keeps the Elysion’s engine happy for the long haul.
- Typical genuine filter references: 15400‑PLM‑A02, 15400‑RTA‑003 (confirm by VIN/engine code).
- Fitment: spin‑on canister type, replace with new sealing washer on the sump plug when servicing.
Popular questions about 2013 Honda Elysion oil filters
Does the 2013 Honda Elysion definitely have an oil filter?
Yes. Honda’s parts and workshop documentation list a spin‑on oil filter for both the 2.4‑litre K‑series and the J‑series V6 used in the Elysion range around 2013. Genuine references include 15400‑PLM‑A02 and 15400‑RTA‑003.
How often should the oil filter be changed in Australia or New Zealand?
A filter swap at every oil change is recommended—generally every 10,000 km or 12 months. For heavy use, short trips or towing, consider 5,000–7,500 km. Always pair the new filter with fresh oil of the correct spec.
Any fitting tips to avoid leaks?
Lightly oil the filter’s gasket, spin it on until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten roughly 3/4 turn by hand. After the first start, check for leaks under the bonnet and around the sump plug. Avoid over‑tightening.
