who has had experiance w/this oil filter??? is there any difference w/other filters like mobil 1 or any other oil filter??? thanks in advance

 

I have used it on my rsx before. I did not notice any difference. Some say it may slightly raise your oil pressure but I have not seen any facts to prove that so thats my 2cents.

 

no difference.

 

there maybe a difference but not enough to see performance wise ... but i think i would rather get a decent one just to be safe ... mobil1 is good enough for me ...

 

i been using honda since day one

BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED Genuine JDM HAMP Oil Filter. Hamp filters are designed to keep a more constant Oil Pressure, and raises oil pressure by about 5 psi. If you know JDM then you know this product needs no introduction. Hamp is Honda's Japanese aftermarket product "Hamp Synergy". The Hamp Synergy are set up after the Honda original parts products. These can be used on any Honda, but are specifically designed with Type Rs, and Type Ss in mind. Features to this item include a unique release valve that dynamically adjusts to the conditions within the filter to keep the flow and pressure constant. The HAMP oil filter will last longer and filter better than any other filter on the market. An item that is a definite must have for any B series or K series high performance high revving VTEC/iVTEC motors!

 

what about the mugen oil filter ... any difference there ??? mugen has always been a must have for any jdm n/a motor ... do they have any advantages in their filter that is so over priced ???

 

Honda motors will run 150K+ miles on OEM filters. I really don't see the need to run those super-expensive filters--especially if you run synthetic and/or change your oil every 3-5K miles.

Stay away from cheap filters (fram, walmart brand, etc), but good filters (OEM Honda, Puroilator, etc) are just fine for the money.

Prove it. Its not what you know, its what you can prove.

 

how much is the OEM filters cause the hamps are 6 - 7 dollars anyway which is pretty nice ...

 

my buddy says he buys them from the honda dealer and he says they run about 12 dollars each!! dats too much for an oem filter i think am just going to order those hamp filters 6-7 bucks u cant go wrong there and its just like oem only cheaper....

 

There is a bit more to a "honda" oil filter, this is a compilation of some things i wrote on another forum, hope its usefull info..

Ive always used honda filters because my dad was a mechanic at honda years back...he told me that the cheap fram filters are a waste of time.. well now i know why not to use a typcal fram filter, they are poorly constructed. Some belive they alow greater oil pressure, ok, that may be true - because instead of geting filtered, its going right throught the cardboard endcap and plastic bypass valve..... :shock:


there are some things to know about honda filters. One there are -to my knowledge 4 types...

1) pre '88 hondas - larger screw bore size

2) post '88 honda (civics, accords, preludes, NOT s2000) pt. NO. 15400-PLM-A01 (A02) - typical honda oil filter, built by fram with the construction specifications by honda

3) post '88 honda (civics, accords, preludes, etc.. AND s2000) pt NO. 15400 -PCX-004 - This filter is made by a reputable factory known as Toyo Roki of Japan. Some say better look into the comparison below

4) filter for the NSX

here is a comparison of the 2 oil filters one non s2000 with the one for the s2000, and another Denso filter

http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/...91911

id like to hear your opinions, and perhaps what you use in you cars

edit:
the 15400-PLM-A02 is the ceap version fram, same as the cheap fram! so perhaps there are 5 types of honda oil filters the A02 obviously fram-incogneto.... i will be purchasing the PLM-A01, and PCX tomorrow and see what the labeling on the housing says....

For anyone that hasn't been following along...Honda is using new oil filters in North America. These are made by Honeywell according to the case, which is noteably smaller. I'm curious on the "new" manufacturer. Honeywell is a division of Allied Signal that, among other things, owns Fram. Is it a rebadged Fram? Honda has been using their own spec Fram(made in Canada) and Filtech(made in the USA) for several years now. The merits of a smaller filter are still up for debate and finding the large filters is getting harder by the day

Honda also specifies a filter for the s2000 that is different from the rest of the Hondas (p/n 15400-PCX-004). It is manufactured by Toyo-Roki. Dimensionally, it is still the same size as the large standard OEM filter. This new filter still fits all the same models. Shopping around has turned these up for around $6.50.
Honda sells three levels of parts in Japan, if I recall correctly. From cheapest to most expensive, they have OEM original parts(HOP), aftermarket parts(HAMP) and racing parts(Hyper). The HAMP filters are available through several importers. They used to be reasonably priced but I can't find them for anything under $9 now (or in stock).The HAMP filters are also made by Toyo-Roki.

After reading several online filter studies, Mike and I decided cut a few filters open. We found a few interesting things.
HAMP and the OEM s2000 filter are identical down to the end cap on the filter media. The end caps are metal. The spring/valve is bonded to the end cap.
The Honda spec Fram uses cardboard end caps. The bypass valve isn't even fastened to the end cap, it falls right out once the housing is removed. The spring/valve is a little easier to push open. The filters metal housing is also marginally thinner.
For curiosity's sake, we split open an off the shelf Fram Double Guard. It was made even more poorly then the Honda/Fram. The Double Guard has teflon on the media...Mike joked this was to keep dirt from bonding to the filter. Same cardboard end caps, but less filter media and even softer spring/valve.

So my personal opinions/observations?
I'm not going to discuss Fram quality with anyone anymore...my mind is made up. They suck.
Fram users keep your testimonials to yourself. If you don't like my observations, cut your own open and tell me why they're great filters. Mike has still been using Fram but after we were done here, he threw the Fram filters he had in the trash.
Why does the s2000 need a different filter? Why don't the new standard filters measure up to the s2000? Will they measure up for us? Right now, they seem like a good alternative to the HAMP filters and a better choice then the standard large OEM Honda filters.

Awhile back, we reviewed some of the differences in Hondas large oem filter. With the exception of the s2000 filter (p/n 15400-PCX-004) the large style filter is no longer available. But that's okay…because if you want to run a large filter, that's the one you want. Check out our earlier article to see why. http://www.effinmotorworks.com/Filters.htm

Since roughly 2000, Honda started phasing in a smaller sized standard filter. I haven't found a consistent answer as to why, or what the benefits are, so I'll keep wild speculations and hearsay to myself. If you want to run the smaller filter, you have a couple options:
15400-PLM-A01 (FILTECH-TOYO ROKI)
15400-PLM-A02 (HONEYWELL)
15400-PLC-004 (TOYO ROKI)
current standard
current standard
No longer manufactured, might be in a local dealers stock

We decided it was time to put these smaller filters under the same examination as before. I got my hands on the oem Honeywell and Filtech filters. I couldn't find a Toyo Roki…so as a substitute; I used a small style HAMP filter. In our last comparison, we found the large HAMP to be the exact same filter as the s2000 Toyo Roki. I was hoping this would be true again.
The Honeywell and Filtech came factory shrink-wrapped with Honda p/n stickers on them. The HAMP came in a cardboard box. I wasn't expecting to find a noticeable difference before I even started cutting…but I did. The Filtech and HAMP were fine, but the Honeywell had this brown goo gunk around the inner lip of the filter. And the finish was not smooth around the edge of the lip. I can't say if this is consistent with all of their filters (because I only had this one) but I get the impression their quality control leaves something to be desired.


Once the filters were cut open, I found a few things that surprised me and a couple things I expected. Here's a layout of all three filters:



• Bad news first…we've speculated that the Honeywell filter was, in fact, a Fram filter. Allied Signal owns Honeywell and they also own Fram. And after looking at the guts of the Honeywell, it is indeed a Fram filter. Cardboard end caps on the media and a cheap plastic bypass valve pressed onto the cardboard with an inexpensive wedge. The filtering media has improved a little but still falls short of the other two filters.

• What I expected…the Toyo Roki HAMP had excellent construction. The bypass valve was a sturdy metal design that pressed on to the end of the media with a nice seal. Despite being even shorter then the two oem filters, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on my car.

• What surprised me…the Filtech p/n is listed as "Filtech-Toyo Roki". The case just says "Filtech". Once inside, the construction is nearly identical to the HAMP. The length of filter media is a little longer and of a slightly fuzzier consistency, but everything else was the same. Even the bypass valve was the exact same piece. I'm guessing there was some collaboration between the two companies?

Now, does any of this really matter?
Its really up to you. The Honeywell filter is, in my "expert" opinion, crap. The Filtech filter is pretty decent.
Some will argue that a filter is just a filter. Even if that was true, they cost the same. Why not ask for what could be a better quality filter?

yeah, no more than 6 bucks for an oem filter. just stick with the honda filter, if there is no real proof that any filter is "better" just stick with what works.
