Hi I got a question if I go to honda and get a s2000 oil filter (What year should I say?) would it fit a 1995 del sol vtec ? I heard the older oil filters are just frams... Sorry if this has been asked before.

 

all honda filters are the same.

 

o I heard s2000 filters are better..

 

yes it will fit, this is what i use on my b16, just ask for a s2000 filter

gl

 

still the same filter.

 

What's so good about the S2000 filter?

I have no idea eran told me its better than the del sol ones. Something about the old oil flters made by fram (honeywell or something)

are they better tho or same thing lol ?

 

S2000 filters were made by a different company...
Who? I dont remember...
Are they still? I dont know...
Are they different sizes? Yes, it is smaller, promoting higher pressures.
Will it fit? Yes.

I want to say that the current oem honda filters are made by fram (which is why i do not buy them anymore)

 

Most Honda filters are made by Honeywell (FRAM). The S2000 filters are made by Toyo Roki, and are smaller, thus promoting better oil pressure.

Ya when I did my last oil change I bought the filter for my car and it was made by honeywell and it costs $25 (I bought it at the dealership) so now when I change my filter again I am just going to get an s2000 filter it won't cause problems right ?

ok... so are there any downsides with using the s2000 filter or is it 100% safe ?

 

I haven't had any negative effects, i like it because of the larger capacity, meaning more filter material, I was unsure when I first thought about using so i checked what mobil 1 lists for both cars, civics and s2000's are the same part # for mobil 1 m-104, so that clears fitment issues. as far as raising oil pressure idk, inever had an oil pressure guage hooked up to my car.

downsides the s2000 is like $2-3 more than the regular civic filters at the dealership

hope this helps

WHAT!! $25 for an oil filter??? Why??? Just buy a Mobil 1 or K&N for $10 and call it a day.

I was thinking of the HAMP S2000 filters .... which are much smaller.

 

all i run is HAMP which is the JDM version of an oem filter.

Yeah, and they're tiny too.

 

they can handle some really high oil pressure too. I kept blowing out fram and napa filters. All I could get to work was honda and hamp

 

honda uses just 1 filter now. they are all the same. might be 1 or 2 that are odd like the acura legends and nsx. but other than that honda uses the ph3593a fram. my friends that work at honda and acura dealers, they get a box full of filters on the weekends to do all their oil changes. all the cars that come in uses the same filter.


and 25 bux for a honda filter is a lot. i use my filters from work that i get for 2 bux

your friends don't know jack ****

stick this in your pipe and smoke it



not my pic, got it from this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=766660&page=2

 

a filter of a nisson works but i forgot wich one i think its of the sentra. gotta check with a friend what he uses. alot smaller then honda and increases oil pressure

 

Fram is absolutely 100% fine, I just put one on my car - they've been around for awhile and aren't going anywhere.

As for which car?

The RSX and S2k ones are smaller, so it ups ur oil pressure by about 1-3psi, so if you wanna try to go for that get an RSX or S2K oil filter - it'll screw right on.
