Honda K Series VTC Filter Gasket 15845-RAA-A01
Keep your K-series roaring into VTEC with a fresh Honda K Series VTC Filter Gasket 15845-RAA-A01. This genuine Honda assembly replaces the tiny screen and sealing ring that lives behind the VTC solenoid—your first line of defense against debris robbing the system of oil pressure. A clogged or torn filter gasket is the #1 culprit behind the dreaded P2646 “VTEC System Performance” code, sluggish mid-range power, and that unsettling feeling when the cam changeover never arrives.
Features
- Factory-fresh reliability – Authentic Honda engineering, molded to the exact OE micron rating and crush thickness for every K20 and K24 from 2002-2015.
- Restore oil flow – Uninterrupted lubrication lets the VTC actuator advance cam timing instantly, improving throttle response and top-end power.
- Zero guesswork – Direct bolt-on swap for the tired original on Accord, Civic Si, RSX-Type-S, TSX, CR-V, RDX, ILX, Element, Crosstour and more (see full fit list).
- Stop the CEL – Eliminates oil-starvation–related P2646/P2647 codes before they lead to larger engine damage.
- Priced for peace of mind – A small investment versus the cost of a new VTC actuator, cam, or complete head rebuild.
The compact gasket/filter combo slides out once the VTC solenoid is removed—no sealant, no special tools. Clean the bore, press in the new screen, torque the solenoid, top off oil and you’re back on the road with full VTEC engagement.
