I just read the "Couldnt remove oil filter, so I left it...." topic, and someone mentioned using a Fram oil fitler, and someone else replied that they are horrible filters. And you can guess that Verb just put a Fram oil filter on his car like two days ago. haha With some synthetic mobil 1 oil. So if Fram is bad, what should I use next time?

 

Its all personal preferance.

 

iam using Castrol GTX with OEM filter for 4yrs. never gave me a problem, engine is clean too.

Like 6 bucks give or time a few dollars.

Different dealership got different prices...

 

OEM Honda of course!

 

i preffer K&N, its bigger then OEM and much better filtration

 

I've been using STP filters for well over 100K miles now. At 231K miles, my car still does not burn or leak a drop of oil.

And yes it does get run up into VTEC quite regularly.

rigorous maintenance FTW

 

i got 10 of them for $50

I use that with mobil clean 5000. I used to dump in penzoil or castrol GTX though, but this new stuff dont burn any and it runs smooth

 

I use Castrol GTX because Mobil1 was getting kind of expensive. I change at every 2k, so I dont mind using the old fashioned stuff.

 

fram. it has a grip area on end of the filter. i been using it for 4 months and it doenst give me problems.

 

wow, i got into the royal purple, but ive been hearing negative stuff...well so far ive been hearing that mobil is the best...

im trying it in my next oil change

dont know if i should change my oil now, it passed 3,000 miles this week but oil is not burnt at all....hhmmm i'll probably wait until 2 weeks from now

i use 5w30 BTW at 135k

 

i use oem as much as i can but if not i use stp

 

OEM S2k filter with castrol snytec

cant go wrong with OEM parts

 

Id like to run the s2k filter but going to the dealer is a PITA.

I normally just run purolator pureONE filters. They are great and OTC at any local parts store.

 

ive been happy with purolator, purolator pureONE, and napa gold filters(they are huge compared to the purlators)

 

AMSOIL
They recently came out with a filter that lasts as long as their oil (25,000 mi or 1 year)
https://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/eao.aspx which replaced their old filter that lasted only half that.

I'm a big amsoil fan, keeps my GSR from burning oil.. and its good knowing you don't have to worry about changing your oil for a year or 25,000 miles.

AMSOIL

 

my oil filters are free from honda. so you can figure out what i use

i hope you guys know that there's like only 3 major oil filter manufactors..... companies just label them to their brand
