It's sunday and my oil is about 2500 miles past due for a change. All the dealerships are closed and I can't get my hands on a honda filter, will the wal-mart filters make due??, or should I simply wait till next weekend and get a genuine honda filter like I always do. Any help would be appreciated.

 

why not just go to a parts store and buy a K&N or something?

 

I use Mobil 1 which you can get from Autozone, dont use the Honda ones anymore since the retarded sizing and manufactuer choice.

Others will prob chime in with all the Bob the oil guy forum stuff about purolator or whatever. Does it really matter? ::

 

Fram has some nice stuff too. [EDIT: By nice, I mean sucky.]

But Koala Yummies has a point, http://www.bobistheoilguy.com

Good boy, Chris.

SuperTech filters are a good deal for $2.07. Have no fear.

 

Autozone is open and has quite a few choices.
I've been using the K&Ns.

 

Bosch is also a very very good filter.

how often do you change your oil? techically you could go w/ same filter per 2 oil changes.. i do that, but my oil change intervals are shorter.. every 2.5k-3k per oil change

 

As long as you change your oil all the time, the oil filter doesn't really matter.
I've used supertech filters on a 99 SI and now on a MKIV TT 6 spd, and its the same ****.
Oil on the other hand matter, Royal Purple FTW

 

its pretty funny..... but some of Hondas oil filters are sourced and made by either FRAM or Honeywell

 

i know this has been gone over b4 but oem hondafilter
a01 made my filtech
a02 make by hamp
which one is better?

Premium Plus L30001

Left to Right: Motorcraft, Purolator Pure One, Purolator Premium Plus

Here is a fairly well designed filter, especially for the price. One odd thing about Purolator's filters is a string that is always wrapped around the filter element. I assume that this is there to hold the element in place while the glue in the end caps cures. Of all the Purolator-based filter I tested, there was one (the ProLine) that had filter element damage from this string. Although it was one of five tested, I am weary of this design. Even though the element was crushed a bit, it was not ripped.

The filter cartridge has an impressive surface area of 316 sqin, which is very close to the AC Delco Duraguard. The difference is that Purolator's filter element is compressed into more pleats (51) than the AC Delco. This may restrict flow somewhat, but not as much in this model than the Pure One. It features a spring-loaded metal bypass valve and a nitrile rubber diaphram-type anti-drainback valve, which doubles as the seal between the backplate and the cartridge. Like the Champion, this bypass valve is stamped right into the bottom end cap of the cartridge, so it is all one piece.

The telltale sign for a Purolator filter are: 8 medium-sized holes for the oil inlet and nothing but a black (or orange for the Pure One) diaphragm to be seen through them. There are 6 large crimps holding the gasket in place. Through the center outlet hole, you can see the spring for the bypass valve.

Exploded view:

Pure One PL30001
This filter has a few improvements over the Premium Plus. It has a denser synthetic filter media to filter out smaller particles and more surface area to make up for the flow restriction. Aside from those the cartridge is the same construction as the Premium Plus.

The filter cartridge has an even more impressive surface area of 400 sqin. The potential issue is that this filter element is compressed into even more pleats (64) than the Premium Plus. This may restrict flow more than it helps relieve it, but it is hard to say for sure. It also features a spring-loaded metal bypass valve and a silicone rubber diaphram-type anti-drainback valve, which doubles as the seal between the backplate and the cartridge. The bypass valve is located at the base of the cartridge, not at the top.

Go with K&N or Mobile One. K&N is a little more but it has the nut on the end..so its never a hassle breaking a tight filter loose.

Pretty much, but like Chris has pointed out...it begins to be a very emotional, and personal decision.
I like the K&N for the same reason previously mentioned, the nut on the end.
Yes, I know you can get the "sockets" for the ends of the filters, but I still prefer the nut on the end of the K&N.
