s2k filter still good stuff?
Ok, so I know a while back honda switched over to some shitty fram made filters
for the normal civic oil filter.
But the s2k remained the same high qual oil filter.
However I also remember hearing that they eventually went ahead and switched the s2k filter over to the cruddy kind also.
so with an oil change coming up,
i'd like to know, should I go for an s2k filter,
or just go out and get a different brand?
thanks.

Re: (itr_eg)
it is kind of an opinion thing...some people think OEM is better, some don't. You will just have to decide, I use OEM filters but that is just me. I am an OEM ***** when it comes to **** like that.
btw: thanks for the pimp-slap ITR-EG....haha

you can get high quality without gettin factory ones</TD></TR></TABLE>
got a recommendation?
I like the old oem ones because they were known to be of high quality,
honda parts usually are, and their filters(at least used to be) a sure thing.
but yeah this is really the whole point of this thread,
it'll help me decide whether to go oem or not basically.

Oversized? i was under the impression the s2000 oil filters were a bit smaller, adding a little more oil pressure.

If you want the quality of oem, I know the civics take the same filter as v6 mitsu's part number MZ690116. Thats what i use. havent had any problems as of yet.

Re: (Hella_JDM)
cool,
so the s2k filter IS in fact still made by the better manufacturer then.
and its larger than other honda filters,
but is it still the same size as they USED to be?

Re: (Hella_JDM)
from my understanding now, since my last oil change a couple weeks ago, all honda filters are the same now, and honda only carries one type of filter for all of its car's/suv's/mini-van's. The bigger style filter is done with, and the smaller blue filter is the one you will be buying.

Re: (Tad)
Honda did switch to a Fram made filter fairly recently. I dont know about the S2K filter though. Purolator Pure 1 is a very good filter and its only 5-7 dollars.
Wal-Marts Supertech brand oil filters actually have great filtering numbers but the life-span is questionable. I would assume for a 3k change interval you would be fine with the Supertech.
I personally use Purolator Pure 1 and the oil in my 90' Yota still looks new after 2k miles. Unless you want to spend 10+ dollars for a K&N or Mobil 1 filter I would go with the Pure 1.

Some dealers carry Toyo Roki and some carry Filtech Inc.
I bought a few filters for the D-Series Part # 15400-PLM-A01 and they all had the Filtech Inc. on it, not Toyo Roki.
I'm guessing Toyo Roki is still making the filters for the high-end Hondas, while Filtech Inc. is making them for the low-end ones.

yeh were trying to diagnose what the current s2k filter is,
i think its prettymuch set that all the other filteres are of lower qual. now.
