Keep clean oil moving to your engine's VTEC/VVT solenoid with the Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Filter / VTEC Solenoid Gasket (P/N 917-176). It's engineered to drop in like the original filter on the listed applications: the 2007-2012 Acura RDX [L4-2.3L], 2002-2006 Acura RSX [L4-2.0L], 2004-2008 Acura TSX [L4-2.4L], 2003-2007 Honda Accord [L4-2.4L], 2002-2011 Honda Civic [L4-2.0L], 2002-2009 Honda CR-V [L4-2.4L], 2003-2011 Honda Element [L4-2.4L], and 2006-2008 Honda Fit [L4-1.5L]. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.
This black synthetic-rubber filter/gasket screens the engine oil feeding the variable valve timing solenoid, helping keep debris out of the solenoid so it can operate as designed. If a clogged original filter is the cause of your VVT-related trouble, this replaces it. Note that it's listed under both names — VVT solenoid filter and VTEC solenoid gasket.
Direct-fit replacement: engineered to match the original filter's fit and function on the specified vehicles.
Helps restore function: a fresh filter for an original that failed by clogging — if clogging is the cause, this addresses it.
Durable materials: made from quality synthetic rubber for reliable performance and long service life.
Trustworthy quality: backed by a U.S.-based product-expert team and more than a century of automotive experience.
