Keep clean oil flowing to your engine's variable valve timing system with the Walker Products Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Filter 590-4006 (also written 5904006). This OE-replacement filter drops into the factory bore or housing and fits many Honda and Acura models, among them the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey, and 2003-2008 Honda Pilot — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level list.
The filter screens engine oil before it reaches the VVT solenoid actuator, which meters oil to adjust camshaft timing based on load and RPM. Over time, sludge, metal particles, or varnish can clog the screen and impair solenoid function.
- Protects the VVT solenoid: filters oil before it enters the solenoid actuator to help prevent clogging.
- OE-replacement fit and flow: matches the original screen mesh, flow rate, and oil-pressure tolerance.
- Direct fit: installs into the factory bore or housing without modification.
- High-temp, oil-resistant construction: built to withstand constant oil exposure and elevated engine temperatures.
If a contaminated or restricted filter is the cause of a VVT timing code (such as P0011 or P0014), replacing it helps restore clean oil flow to the solenoid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the VVT solenoid filter do?
It screens engine oil before it reaches the VVT solenoid actuator, keeping sludge, metal particles, and varnish out so the solenoid can meter oil and adjust camshaft timing accurately.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It fits many Honda and Acura models, among them the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey, and 2003-2008 Honda Pilot. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year and engine.
Can a clogged filter cause a timing code?
Yes. A filter clogged with contaminants can restrict oil to the solenoid and impair valve timing, which may set timing-related codes like P0011 or P0014. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Does it require modification to install?
No. It installs directly into the factory bore or housing without modification, matching the original filter's fit.
What is the filter made of?
It's built from high-temperature, oil-resistant materials so it can withstand constant oil exposure and elevated engine temperatures.
