I just bought a honda oem oil filter and when I got home I realized the one they gave me was a bit taller and slimmer. Did honda change the filter?

is it 3593? honda used the same filter for all of their cars. i think they changed up the size of the S2K filter, but its the same number. well as long as its 3593, you're fine.

yes, honda redesigned the oil filters to a smaller one

well, if they're making it smaller, the only logical conclusion i can make is that they're saving on costs... if honda's don't need that big of an oil filter, and it's cheaper to make a smaller one, then make the smaller one. a nickel saved here and there... after making half a million (or how ever many oil filter honda makes in a year), those nickels adds up to a big savings.

I would think it would cut oil useage a little too.

hasnt honda been using the small filters since the rsx came out? How many years is that now? I havent used a big fat OG filter in a loooong time
