would like to know what brand oil filters you guys are using/recommend on ur gsr motor?..need some input, bout to change oil for the first time on this 95 gsr teg that i just bought....?

 

I stick with a good ol American Fram with the grip at the end.
Makes it easier when replacing it.

Some jdm ballers like to go bling with HOP filters.

Wont make a difference as long as its the right size for your app.

 

i use a k&n filter on mine

 

read up on http://www.bobistheoilguy.com. I think his forums are archived. Once you read over the forums you will see that fram and K%n and most of the brand name filters aren't that great. I suggest, WIX or factory filter, or whoever produces the honda factory filters.

 

The OEM Honda filter.

 

Oem Honda is What everyone should use.

Pres. of Spoon Sports told me

 

bought my honda OEM from inlinefour. they only had small but hey its OEM. the only prob is its too small for my grip so imma need a smaller grip tool.

 

I used to use a K&N also but now switched to a walmart supertech filter. It does a just as good job. No need in spending about 10 bux on oil filter. the supertech also has better single and multiple pass efficiency ratings over crappy fram filters.

 

Im using oem filtech ones right now because the dealership had some. Ill proabably use wix in the future.

you shouldn't need a grip tool, since you shouldn't make it that tight in the first place....should be able to do it by hand.

 

OEM all the way.

 

my friend put a fram on his car.....it clogged, pretty much ruined the entire motor from running it for 10-15 seconds with no oil pressure.

Purolator Pure Ones run about 5-6 bucks and are one of the best when it comes to filtration ... a lot of people like Mobil 1 too but they run about 10 bucks. Depending on your dealer/location the OEM filter might be a FRAM.

 

i use an s2000 oil filter. the only one that still uses the old filter element instead of whatever they switched to now (fram, i think?).

 

AC Delco

 

honda oil filter.... get yourself a magnetic drain bolt.... if you got high miles on the car make sure your running 10w30 or 10w40 dont get too thin of a oil

 

I usually use the original honda oil filter.

Problem is that the USDM OEM filters are made by Fram. Stick with a filter made by Champion Labs ( Mobil1, Bosch, Supertech, K&N, STP) or Wix

 

Just because a company makes something for another company doesn't mean they make them to the same specs

Yep, made by HAMP. But the Filtech and Fram OEM filters probably aren't bad. As far as I know, the OEM Honda ones always have a metal bypass valve, even when they are manufactured by Fram. Fram is notorious for having crappy cardboard bypass valves that are prone to failure, but those wouldn't be used in an OEM filter made to Honda spec.

I have had good luck with Purolator Pure Plus (and the exact clone, Pep Boys Proline for 50 cents less). The Purolator PureOne is good, but has low flow numbers for those who worry about oil flow.

As was said by Timmy8151, Champion lab products and Wix (Napa Gold) are always excellent choices. Also, Pennzoil filters are just rebadged Fram as well, so I steer clear of them.

 

OEM is made by fram use WIX
