Anyone have experience with using an OEM S2K filter on a BB6 Prelude?

Changing the oil tomorrow, and have a spare one left from out old S2k (bought a case of them when we had it)

I assume that since both are 2.2L it would be okay? Or does the H series have higher oil pressures?

There's no issue. This was the oil filter Honda used before switching to the small ones.

Yes you can use an S2000 filter on your H22/H23

Actually no they were not the same. The old Honda filter was slightly smaller then the S2000 filter and had a different part #.

Hmm, good to know. Is there an oil pressure difference between the new small Honda filter and the s2k unit?

I have been running the S2000 oil filter for years now. I do have a couple more pounds of oil pressure at idle using the bigger filter. But I would "think" it would be the other way around because the smaller filter has less oil capacity. I did this back to back in warmed up conditions with the same results ( didn't have anything better to do that day at work )

The oil pressure sensor might be after the filter so the smaller filter probably creates a pressure loss due to the lower flow.

very good to know!

I think they both have same part #'s

Maybe the old one the new ones dont. Honda S2000 Part# 15400-PCX-004 and Prelude is part# 15400-PLM-A02, the older versions of the prelude were 15400-P0H-305 they had a smaller outside diameter.

So was the old Prelude filter slightly smaller than the s2k filer but larger than the current standard one?

O sorry didn't realise you guys were talking about OEM. When I checked pepboys, the mobil1 oil filters were the same part #;s.

100% correct

russlan44

so is there any point of s2k filter, any cons and pros? i know its sligtly larger
