Default oil filters for synthetic oil

i did a lot of reading on oil but couldnt find the answer to my question. Anyway, can normal honda filters be used with synthetic oils??? I might be changing to redline oil and i wasnt sure if the normal honda filter will be ok for this application. If not what oil filters you guys running with redline???

Thanks

Yes, you can use normal Honda filters with synthetic oil, including Mobil 1, Redline, etc.

Let me ask you since several others have already stated that they can, Why you think an OEM filter might not work?

If it has similar to the same properties as dino oil why do you think it wouldn't work with said filter?

COnsider this...

Although a small filter helps to regulate pressure more effectively, an s2k filter was designed with the capacity to allow higher rpms with out the by-pass opening...Plus, for those of us who have higher rev capacity, this filter was designed with 9k rpms in mind... That means a whole lot to me.

If you would like dirty oil flowing through your motor, by all means, save your self a few bucks. For me, I feel that the added benefit of a filter actually doing its job is worth many more dollahs than that of the s2k filters' pricing.
