What model f23 is a 2000 4cyl ulev? I was looking through the oil filter boock at WallyWorld and felt kinda stupid. Thanks

 

f23's are found in 6th Gen Accords, is that what you were asking? question seemed kinda vague...

 

I think all F23s are ULEV...

The F23A5 I believe is non-VTEC in the DX, and the F23A4 I believe is SULEV used in cali...

The VTEC non cali one I believe is the F23A1...

I wish I was ULEV...

 

thanks for the info!

 

What's the U in "ULEV" stand for? also the SU?

 

ULEV = Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle

 

thanks

 

um.....That is very odd because my 6th gen accord is ULEV VTEC and i live in Cali....maybe im the special one and only vtec accord in CALI! odd aint it?

 

no, all the 5th gen 4 cylinders are both VTEC and ULEV F23s.
I dunno if the V6s are ULEV.

 

They aren't ALL ULEV

F23A1 is LEV VTEC
F23A4 is ULEV VTEC

there is a SULEV out there, available only in cali AFAIK. not certain what the engine code is on that one, but since it is not listed separetely in the Helms manual i assume it is F23A4.

the F23A1 is a little bit more difficult to find, not sure if it was available after the 99 model year. they are easilly distinguished by the valve covers, ULEV has some big green ULEV emblem on it. the only real difference between the A1 and the A4 is the electroncs and ECU. Bore, stroke, valves, and cam are exactly the same.

I believe the V6 is a LEV

 

Oh, okay
