KAX Engine & Cabin Air Filter Kit — Honda Civic 2012–2015 / Acura ILX 2013–2015, Matched 2‑Piece with Charcoal Cabin

KAX CA11113 CF10134 is a two-piece engine and cabin air filter kit designed to restore engine breathing and improve in‑car air quality for select Honda Civic (2012–2015 1.8L) and Acura ILX (2013–2015 2.0L) models.

This combo bundle includes one engine air filter and one cabin air filter engineered to work as a coordinated maintenance pair. The filters use a multi-layer media with coconut shell‑activated charcoal in the cabin element to reduce odors, while the engine filter focuses on trapping dust and debris to protect intake components. Supplied as a matched kit, this set lets you replace both filters in a single service session, helping you maintain performance and comfort without extra shopping or downtime.

How will these filters affect my car's day-to-day performance?

Replacing both the engine and cabin filters refreshes airflow paths the vehicle relies on for combustion and passenger comfort. A clean engine filter helps preserve fuel efficiency and throttle response by preventing intake restriction; the cabin filter improves breathing comfort by capturing pollen, dust and common road particulates.

• Engine filter media: traps dirt and road debris before the intake system.
• Cabin filter media: multilayer design captures pollen, dust and particulates.
• Activated charcoal layer: neutralizes common odors for fresher cabin air.
• Matched kit: reduces service time—swap both at once in about 5 minutes.

Are these KAX filters compatible with my Honda Civic or Acura ILX?

The KAX CA11113 (engine) and CF10134 (cabin) filters are specified for Honda Civic 1.8L models from 2012 through 2015 and Acura ILX 2.0L models from 2013 through 2015. They’re produced to match OEM fitment points so installation is straightforward and secure.

• Vehicle fit: Honda Civic 2012–2015 1.8L; Acura ILX 2013–2015 2.0L.
• Form factor: engineered to match original filter housing dimensions.
• Plug-and-play: designed for direct replacement with no trimming required.
• One-kit convenience: both engine and cabin filters included in a single purchase.

What materials and filtration technology are used in the kit?

The cabin filter contains a coconut shell‑based activated charcoal layer to help reduce odors along with multi-layer particulate media for pollen and dust. The engine filter uses durable pleated media designed to capture contaminants without overly restricting airflow, balancing protection and engine efficiency.

• Activated charcoal: coconut shell carbon for odor adsorption.
• Multi-layer cabin media: captures small particulates and larger debris.
• Pleated engine media: high surface area for dirt-holding capacity.
• Durable construction: built to withstand normal temperature and vibration ranges.

How often should I replace these filters and what are the installation steps?

KAX recommends replacing both filters together every 12 months or approximately every 12,000 miles to maintain air quality and intake protection. Each filter swap is a simple procedure: open the appropriate housing, remove the old element, insert the new filter oriented per the arrows or markings, and reseal the housing.

• Replacement interval: about every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
• Estimated time: roughly 5 minutes total for both filters by a DIY owner.
• Tools required: usually none—some models may need a screwdriver for access panels.
• Maintenance tip: change both filters together to simplify future service.

Who is this for? This KAX engine and cabin air filter kit is aimed at owners of compatible Honda Civic and Acura ILX vehicles who prefer proactive, cost‑effective maintenance. It suits drivers who want an easy direct-replacement solution that restores intake airflow and improves in‑cabin comfort, with the added convenience of both filters included in one purchase. Ideal for DIYers, independent shops, or fleet keepers looking to standardize routine service parts and reduce the chance of overlooked cabin or engine filtration.
