Hey guys i was wondering if any of you guys runa larger oil filter on your car. I was thinking about this but not sure if its possible? Help me out

Thanks guys

MAD SOHC

why? I don't think so.

more surface area better filteration

nojoke

Not necessarily, and i think Honda did some R & D and came up with the optimal size for their motors. Just go OEM size or OEM, bigger isnt always better.

i just use the Honda Oil Fliter on my engine. but they changed them and made them smaller. why i dunno.

bump for more opinions??????

No reasons why the oil filter should be bigger..
As long as you change them every 3k miles or 3 months you should be fine

although honda did change the size of the filter they sell for their cars they do the same job. What you are asking about though I wouldn't recomend, especially if you have a vtec motor, changing to a different oil filter can also change your oil pressure. I wouldn't recomend it.

I'm surprised they printed that. They don't mention anything about oil PSI. I use a smaller k20 Oil filter for track use as it's raises Oil PSI about 5 PSI at optimum temp. I change the oil after every track event.

Im running a HAMP for higher pressure....

even to the new hndas use a smaller filter the old ones still fit.. same spindle size. cause the new civics use the small one but the d series block is still the same

i ran this

it is for sale....350 everything shipped

That looks a lot like the earl's oil cooler I'm going to be using this track season. Who is the maker of that one? Any info or link to the thread about that reusable oil filter. I remember reading about it. And the fact it can take so much more micron's of stuff out of the oil even at high rpm's.

I run the S2k filter on my Turbo D as well. With the smaller Honda filter my oil pressure went up and oil got by my seals. With the S2k I have no such problems.

no link....maybe http://www.systemone.com

dont' know thought....

i pieced the kit together...the remote oil filter was over 120!!!

the Honda oil filter for mobil 1 is a M-104 wich is the stock size oil filter but you can replace it with the filter M-105 wich is a bigger filter and I run it on the car that I daily drive

The S2k, Honda D motors and acura B-series uses the same oil filter.

BTw, oil presure is determined by oil presure regulator inside the engine block beside the oil pump... It is not regulated by the oil filter.
The valve in the oil filter is an anti drain back valve to retain oil when the engine shuts-off.

They used to. Now only the S2k filter retained the old style one.

And the smaller filter DOES increase oil pressure.

all summer long i was runnin the super small hamp filter on my car(its the smallest one that fits a b series motor)..just yesterday i went out and got a larger filter..i dont know why i guess i just realized a oil filter is an oil filter and they all do the same ****

This may true. I simple would like to point when I switch filter size it does on my autometer gage increase my pressure.
