This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter that removes moisture and contaminants from the A/C refrigerant loop. A desiccant bag absorbs moisture that flushing cannot remove.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. This kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal, plus a plug, for a straightforward installation.
Which vehicles does the 83396 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2025 Acura MDX, 2019-2025 Honda Passport, 2016-2025 Honda Pilot, and 2017-2025 Honda Ridgeline. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
When should the drier be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced, and many procedures require replacement to help validate the compressor warranty.
Why can't the old drier just be flushed?
The contaminants and saturated desiccant it captures cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the unit is the intended service.
