For some reason I don't want to deal with the local Acura dealership(and they're closed this Saturday). The local Honda dealership is open every Saturday, so I wouldn't mind running down there to pick up a filter...but which one?

civic ones...
I belive they are all the same...integra's one cost more...

 

yeah, they are all exactly the same, some are different on acura models. just get the civic one from honda.

 

Any '84-'00 Civic filter works.

 

i think all honda/acura's use the SAME filter, except for i think the Legend or Vigor (i forget) and...NSX

but for usdm.. anyone knows?

All FOUR cylinder hondas use the same filter... V6 Accord, etc, use different, larger filters.

Austin - just say you have a '00 Civic Si. Easier to just ask for a specific filter rather than tell them you have an intergra. They get all confused.

 

i see.. i wondered why they looked the same.. i guess cause they are the same..

 

Our honda dealerships sell em for 4.00 or so and acura sells em for 6.50

Can someone verify this...

 

Use one from an RSX, the filter is a lil smaller but it flows the oil alot better, and can possible give a u a small increase in performance. Thats what I'm running on mine.

NOY TRUE.

Its smaller, less filter "surface area" and INCREASES oil pressure due to the oil having to pass through a smaller passageway.

USED for racing applications.

I am under the impression that since it's smaller it will have a smaller filtering media, which would be a cause for the filter to have a shorter service life, sure I change the oil at ~3-4,000 miles, but there isn't a reason to use the smaller filter...maybe if I had a remote oil cooler, but if I did that I might as well just go with a Canton filter.

i'm thinking the same thing.. but.. would flow effiency be better in smaller rather than larger filter?.. that if theres enough difference between the 2 to even notice..

 

I used one of those small hamp filters to try it out, and to tell you the truth, when I went back to the regular sized honda filters, my car felt a hell of a lot faster and seemed to be happier . Maybe its just the butt dyno but I felt like the small hamp was restricting somehow

Larkin whos sticking w/ OEM filter

 

Our dealership discontinued the older filters.... the new ones they gave me are about as small around as the hamp, but a bit taller. Also say manufactureed by fram on the side now...

 

I noticed they're "Made in Canada"... how good can they be? I mean, they can't even make decent beer up there.

I thought when I went downt he last time I got the wrong filter... I was used to getting PT7-005 and they gave me P0H-305. I had them double check... now it all makes sense.

I highly doubt that is possible unless you buy in bulk, and I mean like more than 10 cases at a time. (30 filters per case)

PT7 oil filters are discontinued and they're supersceded by the P0H filters. We still get some every now and then. These are the filters used for most of the Honda 4 Cylinder Engines.

They're all getting superceded by the itty bitty oil filters, same one on RSXes and MDXes.

 

I stopped at a Honda dealer yesterday with my mechanic friend and also noticed the new filters to be considerably smaller. Made by Fram, in Canada..
I wonder why the change in filter size?

Why spend money on different manufacturing processes when you can have one machine that manufactures one for everything.

Simple Answer: Cost

Basically, you're saying that a smaller HAMP filter would be more beneficial for a race application because the engine's oil pressure would be up due to higher RPM's most of the time? As opposed to regular street driving where the larger OEM filter would be more beneficial the engine which is at idle and low RPM's most of the time?

I'm just trying to understand the uses of the two flters better.
