hey everybody...i'm new to DC2's and I would like to know whats the best Oil Filter for My GSR...I heard so many good things about the S2k oil filter, but how do i know for sure it will fit in my car. And if it does fit whats the stock number.

 

I run p/n 15400-PCX-004 S2000 filters.

 

wait, dogginator, correct me if im wrong but aren't all the new oem honda oil filters the same? except for the insight, which is bigger?

 

whats the difference? just % of particles removed?

 

this has been covered many times.

okay, didn't remember if it was the S2000 or insight that had the different one.i know the parts people at my local honda dealer so they dont even ask for what kinda car, they just say, oil filter? and i just say yup . thanks for the reminder.

 

I used to run OEM Honda filters back in the day. I would always get the one that said Made in USA, which were made by Filtech.

But for the past 6 years I've been using an STP oil filter changed every 3K miles. It costs $3-$4 at AutoZone. My car has 265K miles on it now and is still running strong.

 

I've been using the S2K oil filters without any problems on my 2001 GSR. In fact, I just did an oil change!

No you're wrong. My 85 civic uses a different oil filter.

I've started buying my Valvoline MaxLife oil at Wal-Mart, because it's way cheaper in the 5-quart jugs. I won't touch the Fram oil filters, though. I wish they carried STP because I have to get those from AutoZone.

 

I use a mobil 1 oil filter. Never tried switching to the s2k one tho. I was gonna do it once and the filter was smaller in length than what I was using so i said "F That" LOL.

And I thank wal-mart for finally carrying mobil one oil filters. Now I don't have to buy my oil at wal-mart and the filter at autozone, I get them both at wal-mart

 

Amsoil filters are awesome. WIX and Purolators showed good results. Purolator is the cheapest of the bunch, so that's what I'd recommend, and it out-performed Mobil1, and other more expensive filters. I can buy them at Pepboys for around ~$4-5. I always used to run OEM and actually at this last oil change, I had one lying around, so I used it, but on the next change, Puralator will go on.
