I heard this from d-series.org. If you used a s2000 oil filter on a d series, it would bump up oil pressure a little bit.

S2000 is a smaller filter than a d series one right? I know they both have the same base and thread.

 

Interesting concept. That's the first I've heard of it.

 

a lot of the guys in the teg forum do this, have yet to try it my self

 

Supposely they bump up 10 more psi.

 

The s2000 filter is the same size as the original d/b/h/f etc filters. The smaller one is the newer replacement designed for the d17/k series. I wouldn't worry so much about the oil pressure change(if their is one). Id worry more about the actual construction of the filters.

s2000filter=toyo roki=good
small honda filter=honeywell=crap

 

really, did not know that. at least it's better then the older ones, made by fram

 

fram=honeywell

 

really? even the new smaller ones are still fram? damn maybe i should get the s2000 filters now.

 

So any year S2000 oil filter should fit all d/b/h/f motors right? Guess i'll be trying this out on my next oil change.

 

sounds interesting...i wonder if that will work with my D15B1

 

it should work on any motors. They have the same base/thread too

 

Oil pressure is created by restrictions in the engine, i.e. crank bearings, rod bearings, journals etc. If replacing the oil filter increases pressure that means there is more restriction in the filter. Doesn't sound very good to me.

 

So then why are hamp oil filters unverisal to B/D/F motors? Not tryin to bag on your bro, i'm just trying to find answers.

I've used a hamp oil filter before and i can say the build quality is solid.

 

Almost all honda's use the same thread and seal diameter for oil filters.

b/d/h/f/k can all use the same filter

 

I would just use the filter size Honda intended to having on each engine. after all they know a couple more things about their motors then we do. using the S2000 filter dosnt do much, it just has better build quality. if you want a "better" filter, get a mobil1 extended performance filter or somthing down that path.

as a side note, KnN filters are overpriced Mobil1 filters with a nut on the end for people that crank their filters on too tight. dont wast your money

 

it would be better if you had a oil pressure gauge hooked up and see for your self.

 

Ive never heard this before. Upon some research I found the part numbers are different.

01+ Civic (d17)
15400-PLM-A01 Toyo Roki
15400-PLM-A02 Honeywell

99 Civic (d16)
15400-PT7-005 Allied Signal

S2000
15400-PCX-004 Toyo Roki

When I worked there (be it 5 years ago) we used the same filter on every car except the Insight and the Rodeo, errr, Passport. We used the newest small filter for the D17 engine.
I honestly dont see how changing a filter can increase your oil pressure. Unless there is a restriction in the filter causing the system to back up.

 

It's pretty much impossible to increase your pressure; as the oil pumps have relief valves. You'd have to increase the relief valve spring rate or choke the passage going to it to increase the overall system pressure.

What it may do is just allow pressure to build up quicker at lower RPM or reduce pressure fluctuations(IIRC, Spoon puts clamps on their filters to help out with that).
