Just go to the autoparts store and buy the filter you want. You can even bring them the oil if you desire. They give a discount for bringing your own oil and filter, but I am not sure how much.

Yeah, what he said... when I bought my accord used, noticed it was leaking oil. Went under and noticed the bolt was loose. Original owner took it to jiffy lube. That's the last time it's ever been touched by anyone other than me.

Purolater filters are decent. Their PureOne filters are better.
