Went down to my Honda dealer today, wanting to get a new oil filter, and they gave me this:


Its about the same size as the HAMP filter. I spoke to the parts guy and he said the new oil filters for the Type R are smaller because they had oil pressure problems with the old one.

 

Hmmmm. I guess the DC5 owners get the new oil filter aswell.

 

VERY interesting

 

Yup, I found this out months ago when I had to do an oil change for a 2002 Honda Civic. Two different (part numbers) sized filters popped up on the dealer's computer screen.

Although, isn't it the same as the general filter used on the RSX? Mike K basically did a little comparison with the normal sized Honda filters and what not, quite a while ago.

If so...welcome to last month

 

Yes the DC2 and DC5 oil filters are interchangeable

 

sounds great

 

Hmmmm could be the same as the DC5 filter... anyone got the Part #?

 

looks the same(as DC5 to me. I have an RSX filter on my b20vtec and the jump in oil pressure was about 8-10 psi when I switched from the regular Civic/Integra filter.

 

Yes, it is the same.

There's the thread with Mike K.

 

All Acuras use the same filter except for: NSX, RSX, 96-98 3.2TL and Legends. the reset use the 15400-pt7-005. the Legend and 96-98 3.2TL use 15400-pl2-315

Not to say that the RSX filter won't fit on a teg, but to say that the RSX filter will fit most other honda/Acura models as well.

 

Yes, it will increase oil pressure, but if you think about it, doesn't higher pressure mean restricted flow? The oil pump isn't making more pressure, so there is some resitriction somewhere causing the higher pressure. BTW, the pressure switch is BEFORE the oil filter.

 

The NSX and some Legends use 15400-PL2-004.

 

Hmmm interesting.

 

can't leave well enough alone....sometimes the stock part intended for the engine IS better...radical concept eh?

Is that the new oil filter manufactured by Honeywell? Upon inspection of the oil fiter that I bought today from honda..it said Honeywell on it. So are there any insight as to how good this filter is compared to the old ones?

This concerns me as well..can anybody shed some light on this as well?

Back from the dead I see.

 

BTW..anybody know the purpose of replacing those drain washers that you purchase with the filters? Is it really necessary?

Khoi

 

i believe they've had this smaller filter for a while. i personally don't think that Honda would have something for our motors that would be bad for them, but i personally don't think this smaller filter is better. for daily driving and auto-x, i'm sure these smaller filters will be fine. for HPDE's or lapping days, i would probably switch to the larger HAMP filters available at many autopart stores.

The reason why they started the smaller filters is because the filters goes to waste dumps and the big filters took too much space so they wanted to protect the earth (lol) so they made smaller filters

 

*-above-* true story!

 

whats HPDE??

High Performance Driver's Education. It took me so long to figure that out.

 

basically..your saying for road racing, you recommend using the Hamp Filters. Well what do you think about drag racing?

i'm not saying i suggest specifically the HAMP filters for road racing, but i would use larger filters. anyway, for drag racing i don't think it would be necessary because drag racing will be nowhere as near stressful on your motor compared to road racing where there is high revving and whatnot for an extended period of time.
