Decent, but it's tough on the environment.

TL;DR Disposable OEM-spec pleated panel filter for Honda Civic 1.5L (2016-2021) and CR-V 1.5L Gas (2017-2022), cross-referenced to Honda part 17220-5AA-A00. Fitment confirmed via two independent databases and multiple owner reports; EPAuto publishes no ISO 5011 or SAE J726 filtration data, so the filtration claim rests on OEM media type rather than independent test results.
The GP050 is a disposable pleated cellulose/synthetic non-woven panel filter for Honda's turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder applications. It cross-references to Honda OEM part 17220-5AA-A00 and FRAM CA12050. EPAuto does not publish ISO 5011 or SAE J726 filtration efficiency data; the manufacturer's "protects against dirt" language is generic rather than a cited test result. Fitment is verified against airfilter-crossreference.com and finditparts.com, both confirming the Civic 1.5L (2016-2021) and CR-V 1.5L Gas (2017-2022) applications. The well-reviewed owner base reports consistent correct fit and build quality; installation is tool-free on most trim variants. EPAuto states a 12,000-mile service interval, which is more conservative than Honda's own guidance (which can reach 15,000-30,000 miles depending on model year and driving conditions); no premature failures appear in the available review sample.
Right pick for a Honda Civic 1.5L or CR-V 1.5L owner seeking a confirmed-fitment, cost-competitive OEM replacement at well below dealer pricing. Skip if your CR-V is the 2023 model year or a hybrid variant (fitment for both is unconfirmed per EPAuto's own listing; confirm the OEM part number against your specific year and trim before purchasing).
Passive replacement component with no chemical exposure pathway during installation or removal; no SDS applies to the filter. The environment score of 4.3 reflects the disposable lifecycle: a single-use filter replaced every 12,000 miles generates solid waste at each service interval, with composite paper, cardboard, and rubber seal construction offering limited recyclability in most municipal programs.

EPAuto's listing specifies CR-V 1.5L Gas (2017-2022), which suggests the hybrid variant may use a different filter. Confirm your model's OEM part number against Honda 17220-5AA-A00 before ordering. If your CR-V is a hybrid, verify the part number separately.
Fitment for the 2023 CR-V is unconfirmed based on EPAuto's own listing, which caps the stated range at 2022. Some CA12050 cross-reference sources list 2017-2023 CR-V, but EPAuto specifically says 2022. Verify against your OEM part number before ordering for a 2023 model year.
EPAuto recommends replacement every 12,000 miles. Honda OEM service guidance varies by model year and driving conditions and can specify up to 30,000 miles under normal conditions for some applications. Consult your owner's manual for the interval that matches your specific year and driving conditions.
No. EPAuto publishes no ISO 5011 or SAE J726 filtration efficiency data for the GP050. The listing uses generic 'protect against dirt' language without citing a test standard or efficiency percentage. This is the primary reason the filtration_efficiency dimension is capped at 6.0.
No. No independent dyno or fuel-economy test exists for the GP050. Replacing a clogged filter with a clean one restores baseline airflow, which can improve efficiency relative to a dirty filter. This benefit is not specific to EPAuto and is not a measurable advantage over other OEM-spec replacements.
The Amazon listing for EPAuto GP050 (CA12050) Engine Air Filter carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, EPAuto GP050 (CA12050) Engine Air Filter has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.
