EPAuto GP050 (CA12050) Engine Air Filter

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.
