What oil filter fits a 2014 Honda Accord?

The correct OEM oil filter for a 2014 Honda Accord—whether it has the 2.4L I4, the 3.5L V6, or the 2014 Accord Hybrid—is Honda Genuine 15400-PLM-A02 (the A01 supersession is also acceptable). Common high-quality aftermarket equivalents include Fram XG7317, Wix 57356, Purolator PL14610, Bosch 3323, and Mobil 1 M1-110A; always confirm by VIN before purchase.

OEM fitment by engine and what it means for owners

Honda standardized the spin-on oil filter across the 2014 Accord lineup in North America. That means most trims and engines use the same filter thread and gasket size, simplifying maintenance and stocking. Below is how it breaks down by engine.

For the 2014 Accord 2.4L I4 (K24W), 3.5L V6 (J35Y), and 2014 Accord Hybrid (2.0L Atkinson-cycle), the recommended OEM filter is:

Honda Genuine 15400-PLM-A02 (also sold as 15400-PLM-A01; both are valid Honda parts and fit).

Installation notes: Lightly oil the gasket, spin on until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten 3/4 turn by hand, or torque to about 12 N·m (9 lb-ft). Replace the drain plug crush washer and torque the plug to about 39 N·m (29 lb-ft).

Aftermarket equivalents that match OEM specs

If you prefer aftermarket, several well-known filters match the Honda specifications (M20 x 1.5 thread, “7317/14610” size). The following options balance filtration efficiency, flow, and anti-drainback performance similar to OEM.

  • Fram: XG7317 (Ultra), TG7317 (Tough Guard), PH7317 (Extra Guard)
  • Wix: 57356 (Wix), 57356XP (XP), NAPA Gold 1356 (made by Wix)
  • Purolator: PL14610 (BOSS/Synthetic), PBL14610 (One), L14610 (Classic)
  • Bosch: 3323 (Premium), 3323 DistancePlus (where available)
  • Mobil 1: M1-110A
  • ACDelco: PF2057
  • K&N: HP-1010 or PS-1010
  • SuperTech (Walmart): ST7317 or MP7317

These filters share the same mounting dimensions and are designed to fit the 2014 Accord’s engines. Premium “synthetic” lines (e.g., Fram Ultra, Purolator BOSS, Mobil 1) typically offer longer service intervals and higher efficiency if you follow extended oil-change schedules.

Filter sizing: what to choose and what to avoid

Honda’s recommended envelope corresponds to the popular “7317/14610” size. You may see shorter versions marketed for the same application; while they fit, they reduce media area. Here’s how to pick confidently.

  • Recommended length: 14610/7317 size (standard length, best balance of media and flow)
  • Short alternatives that fit but are not preferred: 14612 or 6607-size filters
  • Key dimensions: M20 x 1.5 thread, gasket ~62 mm (2.44 in) OD

Sticking with the 14610/7317 size aligns with Honda’s original intent and typically yields better filtration capacity than shorter “emergency” sizes.

Oil type and capacities for a complete service

If you’re changing the filter, you’re likely changing the oil. Using the correct oil grade and quantity protects the engine and the hybrid’s engine module alike.

Specifications:

  • Oil grade: 0W-20 (full synthetic is recommended and widely used)
  • 2.4L I4 (K24W): approx. 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) with filter
  • 3.5L V6 (J35Y): approx. 4.5–4.6 US qt (4.3–4.4 L) with filter
  • Accord Hybrid (2.0L): approx. 3.7–3.8 US qt (3.5–3.6 L) with filter

Always check the dipstick after refill and top up to the upper mark. Climate, service conditions, and software updates may influence intervals—follow your maintenance minder or owner’s manual.

How to verify the correct filter for your VIN

While the above part numbers cover the vast majority of 2014 Accords, verifying by VIN ensures you account for mid-year changes or regional variations. Here’s how to confirm in minutes.

  1. Check the owner’s manual or the under-hood emissions label for engine code reference.
  2. Ask a Honda dealer’s parts department to run your VIN; request the latest superseded number.
  3. Use reputable online parts catalogs with VIN lookup (match engine and trim).

Once confirmed, consider buying in pairs with crush washers to streamline future services and avoid availability issues.

Reporting notes and context

Honda’s 15400-PLM-A02/A01 family has been used across many Honda and Acura models for years. The aftermarket cross-references listed here adhere to the same mounting specs and are widely cataloged for the 2014 Accord. The torque and capacity figures reflect typical Honda service manual guidance for this model year. Always defer to your vehicle’s specific manual and dealer bulletins where they differ.

Summary

Popular equivalents include Fram XG7317, Wix 57356, Purolator PL14610, Bosch 3323, and Mobil 1 M1-110A. Choose the 14610/7317 size, torque the filter to about 12 N·m (9 lb-ft), and run 0W-20 oil at the capacities listed for your engine. Verify by VIN for absolute certainty.

How do you know what size oil filter to get?

To determine the correct oil filter size, consult your car’s owner’s manual for the specific part number or consult an online vehicle parts lookup tool from a retailer like NAPA or Walmart.
