Blu never fails.

 

Bought some various brands of oil filters today for my 1990 CRX and 1988 Civic.
I found these at a local Automotive parts store here in Toronto.
Here's some pics and prices that I paid.

1. Mann ML1002 - Made in USA - Paid $4.95 each






2. Mahle OC330 - Made in Austria - Paid $4.99 each







3. Baldwin B1402 - Made in USA - Paid $6.60 (For CRX)
(notice how much smaller in size it is)

4. Baldwin B161S - Made in USA - Paid $6.99 (For Civic)







5. Bosch 3312 - Made in USA - Paid $5.99

 

rob so you gonna cut them open to see how they are made?

what oil do you run?

 

Not necessary. I already google re-searched these and saw them cut open.
I run Amsoil OE 5W30 synthetic.
I run it till 10,000 km on 1 change and the oil is still somewhat clean/clear still !

I remember with conventional oil, it would be quite dirty and really black with 6,000 km ! I think using a quality oil filter means everything more so that what oil brand you choose.

Why are the baldwins different size if there the same engines?

We should make a section called Rob is the oil filter guy.

 

wow Rob, I have to hand it to you, you do your research. Now the million dollar question -

which do you recommend? Do you have a favorite for traditional oil vs synthetic?

And Adrian, have you seen these?



found em at good win $129/ea

 

they look too much like the BBS wheels I have on now

 

ps-video= tallkyle/go pro fail....got nice clean video of my practice session, driving aroundm bedding in brakes.....and qualifying/race vid sorta don't exist. Lol

 

when we went to road atlanta last year, my buddy got confused with his go pro. no video of him on track, but lots of video with him driving around the paddock lol

 

adrian is taking ova this thread. lol



as for oil filter. Back in the earlier NA days, I've always used honda filters.
Since I went turbo I change my oil much more often (after every 3 events or every 1,000 miles which ever comes first). I tend to spend more money on quality oil (BP 40w) & just get your regular wix filter. I never really dove into what the inside of a filter looks like.

It's been working fine for me. I guess maybe the real impact can only be seen over the life of the engine... after say +100,000 miles and granted someone used the same oil/filter brand during oil changes.

Thanks for sharing rob.

 

no idea. I think the crx one is smaller because maybe it has a tighter location for the filter ?

 

There's two filter sizes spec'd for D/F/H/B/K Honduhs, the (Purolator) 14610 for Civics/Integras and the large "S2000-spec" filter #14459. But if you pop the part numbers into a interchange search, the two filters swap.

Go to Pep Boys (Or Napa, etc) and bring up a 92 Civic in the computer and it'll spec a 14610. Type L14610 back into the computer, click "interchange" and the L14459 will pop up.

 

So to be clear, we can use the larger S2000 filter no prob? Any disadvantage using a larger filter? Pressure, etc? Axle clearance?

 

Picked up some new tires since by the end of last season my 2 front where completely shot after 2 summers.


these will go on the slips for autox.... and they have to be enough lol

 

I never had a problem on my D15 (CRX) or F22 (Accord).

I run Rotella T6 (5w40) and a Purolator PureOne filter in all of my current cars/cars I manage oil changes on. T6 is cheap but pretty damn good synthetic oil and the PureOne's have leik 99% effeciency and have that grippy gold finish on them.

 

Gave it the annual 5 hour detail.
Replaced middle tail light lense.

OLD




NEW

 

I don't know how you can spend 5 hours on a car thats already clean.

 

After sitting all winter, then going through 2 weeks of rainfall and such, and without a wash, it was filthy ! I use the car daily so it get nasty sometimes.
The 5 hours included a full interior detail, waxing the paint and replacing the middle lense.

 

 

Hahaha saving that one for future use.

 

Can you guys point me in the direction to verify if this is real? This would fit my 89 si perfectly. I am mainly concerned with the cost. Would probably order the PCI rails for them as well if legit.

EVO 9 Seat

 

dunno how to tell form a pic, people are getting really good at copies.

 

Near as I can tell there's specific markings, the triangle lumbar, letters should be touching. If real would it have a fia sticker?

 

doubtful on the FIA sticker since it's not an aftermarket seat
