This is a five-pack of replacement air filters (OEM part number 17211-ZL8-023) designed for Honda GC and GCV series engines found on many walk-behind lawn mowers, pressure washers, and small generators. The filter traps dirt and debris before they enter the carburetor, protecting engine life and performance.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your engine model is on the list: GC135, GC160, GC160A, GC160LA, GC160LE, GC190, GC190A, GC190LA, GCV135, GCV160, or GCV160A. These are Honda engines, not mower brands—check the engine shroud or owner’s manual for the exact model code. The filter measures roughly 4.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches (foam pre-filter bonded to a paper element). It will not fit Honda GXV, GX, or other engine families. OEM Honda filters have a blue foam pre-filter; counterfeit knockoffs often use cheap gray foam that degrades quickly.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: These are genuine Honda OEM parts, not aftermarket. The foam pre-filter is oiled from the factory—do not wash it with soap or solvent; just tap out loose dirt and replace when clogged.
- Installation difficulty: Very easy—remove the air cleaner cover (usually a single screw or clip), swap the old filter, and reinstall. No tools beyond a screwdriver are needed for most mowers.
- Common gotcha: If your mower runs poorly after a filter change, check that the foam is properly seated and the cover seals tightly. A loose fit lets unfiltered air bypass the filter.
- Value: The five-pack saves roughly 30–40% vs buying singles. Store extras in a dry, cool place to prevent foam deterioration.
Should You Buy It
If you own one or more Honda GC/GCV-powered mowers or equipment, this pack is a smart buy. The OEM quality ensures proper airflow and filtration, and the multi-pack covers several seasons of regular maintenance. It’s not worth it if you need a filter for a different engine family or prefer aftermarket options at half the price.
