where can i go to buy a oil filter for my b18b? and i heard you need to replace the washer on the screw? is that really needed every time i change my oil? thanks

oo and what kinda oil u think i should use? im about to do this for my first time.... woot woot

 

5wx30 Oil

and take off your old oil filter and get napa, midas, Canadian Tire, Lordco, What ever supply shop that has it they will know.

 

i use walmart's "SuperTech" oil filters..i dont trust that Fram crap..
as far as oil, from walmart again, i pick up 4 quarts of 5w30 Castrol Syntec

 

They say to change the ring (crush washer) on the drain bolt everytime because the ones from honda are a crush washer.. as in you tighten it and "crush" it for a good seal, thus making it a one use wonder.

You can get a oil filter from *gasp* auto parts stores and dealers.

Where do you get the crush washer? Also, is there a need for synthetic oil filter if you use synthetic oil?

 

You can get the crush washer at the dealer. Synethic oil filter? never heard of it.

Umm. there is no such thing as a synthetic oil filter. You can get a crush washer at the dealership or at an auto store. For filters definetely don't get a Fram.

 

I was talking about filters like Mobil 1 oil filter. They're supposedly last longer than regular filter. I don't know if that's necessary or not.

 

Use a new crush washer every time. You can get new washers from the dealer.

I've gotten lucky and was given a hand-full of them. Maybe you will get luck too.

I have had no problem with "Honda" oil filters and they are manufactured by Fram.

 

Use Honda oil and oil filter. OEM is the best.

If it is basically a stock motor, then just use what is recommended. Generally 10W30 is the norm.

For the crush washer: You can get a brass washer and not worry about them again. Fram makes a "Quick-Drain" setup. I bought it wanted to see if it actually worked well....it didn't. But I did get a brass washer out of the deal haha. Brass isn't like the normal crush washers that need replaced everytime. In fact, I have never had to replace my washer and no it doesn't leak one bit.

 

Go with OEM, 5w30 Mobil 1 synthetic is what I use only cuz they sell it in bulk at costco crush washers at the dealer are like 50 cents each.

 

5w30 mobil 1 synthetic
oem filter or mobil 1 (dont have a honda near me)
And you can get crush washers Cheap on ebay.

 

I can sell u some oem one's at a good price if you're interested. pm me if u are.
