Re: Oil Change - Tune Up What do you use? (bboyPHOENIX)
Use 5w-30, synthetic doesnt hurt to have. Use a oem honda oil filter or a HAMP filter 
. Spark plug wires, use NGK's or denso's, go to autozone and do it under the application of a 99-00 si or a del sol vtec. Wires, do MSD, NGK, oem, STI

are you ******* serious. Why use anything else but honda filters.
Do you know the differnce between Honda filters and those dicount auto parts oil fitlers? Probably not if your asking this question.
Honda filters have a internal check vavle. Rarely do domestic vehicles have this. Which is why there motors don't last long and why another great reason why honda engineers are the best in the world. Anyways iam getting carried away. These internal check valves keep oil inside the filters when the engine is off, this helps the engine get oil faster when it is just started up. And I don't think I need to tell you how harmful and life shortening it is to dry start a motor.
Also the honda filters have a internal bypass that allows unfilterd oil back into the engine if the filter gets clogged. Its like a back up I guess because its better that unfilter oil goes into the engine then no oil at all from a clogged filter.
I have learned this from being asked this all the time from customers. Your welcome and may your motor now thank me for educating you. haha

Re: (crx1.8)
Yeah I believe 5w-30 or 10w-30 is optimal. Also, there are other filters besides OEM Honda that have anti-drainback and bypass valves. I use Purolator oversize until they recently discontinued the one I was using.

Re: (C1CRX)
PureONE is an excellent filter and all I use. Mobile is also a great a filter but very pricey.
Use 5w-30. I always use synthetic, but it's entirely up to you. As long as you keep on top of it you shouldn't have a problem.
I use NGK wires and plugs.

I think you're distorting information, not educating.
Let me clarify. I don't disagree with your position(s):
Use Honda parts.
Dry starting a motor is bad
etc.
However, your supporting arguments are weak or flat out incorrect.
Internal Bypass and Anti Drainback...yes, these are good things. But certainly not specific to Honda, or their engineers. If you want to give Honda engineers credit, do it for CVCC, VTEC, CVT etc etc.
Today, most domestic motors oil filters use these features, btw.
Older domestic engine failures/wear out was the result of a number of design inefficiencies, looser manufacturing tolerances and poor quality control.
Not one bad oil filter design.
Dicount Auto Parts oil filters...most(if not all) cheap auto parts filters, when being designed, are just copying Honda filter spec/design. That's why they call it "OEM replacement", not "OEM modified". Split open a cheap-*** Fram that is meant for Honda applications and you will find the same internal bypass and anti drainback. The quality, however, is usually cheaper though.
What would you say if I told you that these discount auto part filter manufacturers also make the Honda filter?
It's true. Now what?

I use Kralinator oil filters. Concidering they make the Wix filters and most other filters. They even make OEM oil filters for certain company, it's more then enough for a 16 year old engine.
I also use Mobil 5w30 in my B and H. The D series got nothing but Castrol 5w30. If people even knew a little bit about regular oil, they would probably stop using Mobil haha.

Re: Oil Change - Tune Up What do you use? (bboyPHOENIX)
Well from what I understand, Honda motor oil is the best to use 5w 20. Theres something in the oil I hear (honda genuine oil brand) What do you think bout that? and as far as wires go, as long as it's for a 1.6L application (dohc and sohc) are the same, what do you think about that statment?

It's thin oil for the NEW style engine. Unless you have a 2001+ engine, don't use it as it is too thin and won't protect the engine properly.
Regular convencienal oil is gotten so hightech, some synthesized that upgraded to syntec (I mixed brands, I meant Castrol Syntec all except for the ones made in Germany, not Mobil) is pointless. A new 06-07 engine that used 5w30 is so advanced that the oil company had to upgrade the bare minimum of oil quality to meet the demands of the engine, that regular oil is almost at the level of semi synthetics, it has cleaners, synthesized additives and alot of other junk in it, that for a 15 year old engine, it's like running synthetic from back in the day.
PS: Syntec from Castrol that isn't made in Germany isn't really synthetic oil, it's synthesized conventional oil.

Honda reccomends 5w30 for our cars.And Honda makes cars,they are not in the oil business.

Holy crap your dumber then a log.
Davens explained it quite well.
I use fram filters many people I know like the A/C delcos as well.
For oil it's just a b16 run something just don't break the bank and don't get total junk, normal pennzoil or quaker state will be good.

not to flame, but i am glad someone rebutted that reply. It is too general to say that all oil filters are the same, however most of them are made by the same manufacturer at one point or another. Companies like ipxfiltran make/design oil filters for many makes/models/ and filter manufacturers.

Iam dumb because or retarded because I use honda filters? Because I know and don't think that for a fact that the there is a differnece inside the filter like devans stated quality of the filter there is a change. The metal paper filtering medium inside the filters trap metallic shavings and dirt that end up in engnie oil. I bet half of you ******* don't even know this just blurting out and jumping on the bandwagon to call me a dumbass or a tard.
So the differnce in the quality filters I think and this is my theroy is the material used traping this dirt and metal shavings from the engine oil that in time can obstruct oil flow. Metal shavings can also get to the journals, bearings etc..What about filtration levels on the oil fitlers there are different specifications for different oil filters and manufacters. What about making sure they have the same tolerances as the honda filters like the filtration levels? These materials are also what I believe and iam probably right are what make the differnce between a quality filter like honda's then your discount. But continue to use yours I will contiune to use Honda OE filters on my motors for life. Not because I brainwashed on Honda but because I know for a fact the differences between quality and so called OE replacment parts.
Iam not saying this is why domestic motors are less depedant based on only the oil fiters i said one of many reasons why. And again like you said quality.

That's the dumbest **** I've heard up to now. People run synthetic 5w50 in high powered hondas (well built engines with high comp and what not). 'SUV' oil, I'm assuming you mean diesel oil, is 15w40, or 5w40 or 0w40, depending on synthetic level, can be ran in a honda engine no problem whatsoever.
Most SUVs use 5w30, 10w30 or even 5w20 (newer Jap SUVs). Your friends B16 blew up cause he's a retard and beat it up 24/7.

Man, just stop, just leave the thread cause you said that. I don't care what you say, just don't come on here and tell me domestic engines are worst off then hondas, cause last time I checked, the new engines made by all companies are tight, well built and are long lasting. It's simply how the owner threats it/maintains it.

Man, just stop, just leave the thread cause you said that. I don't care what you say, just don't come on here and tell me domestic engines are worst off then hondas, cause last time I checked, the new engines made by all companies are tight, well built and are long lasting. It's simply how the owner threats it/maintains it.
