what the heck is a honeywell? went to the dealer and bought a oil filter.....I told the guy in the counter I want this part# 15400-PLM-A01 now the guy said they didn't have the "A01" part#. The guy said "oh we don't have that part# in stock but we do have the "honeywell" which the part# is 15400-PLM-A02.

is the 15400-PLM-A02 part# is good oil filter?

 

honeywell is a manufacturing company. they make HVAC controls such as thermostats, etc. maybe its a honeywell brand oil filter. i dont know if they make them or not

 

Honeywell makes Fram oil filters.

 

honeywell = fram = most oem honda oil filters = garbage

 

i heard somewhere there is only like 3 oil filter manufacturers in the world.

theineffable-why do u say honeywell filters are junk?

 

do a search for fram and you'll find out there are tons of issues w/ fram filters...

not only is the filter material crap, the valves and gasket materials inside fram filters are also garbage...

 

This is the inside of a Honeywell/Fram brand Honda oil filter. Note the poor quality of the anti-drainback valve, the cardboard end caps, and the plastic bypass valve. The filter has plenty of pleats, but it's not enough to compensate.

EDIT: the difference between A01 and A02. The one above is an A02.

good post. answered my question. thanks

 

 

No.

 

If I were you, I would do some research. Basically, SOME Honda oil filters are made from junky components, and some are not. Some are actually made with higher quality components. Your best bet(more than anything) is just to grab a Mobil1 filter

 

If you keep up with oil changes most filters will be fine. I have 246k miles and mostly honda oil changes, that many miles and orig engine can't be that bad.
