i have a 95 jdm b16a... its the first oil change that ill be doing on it (or any b series for that matter) and i was wondering what size the oil filter is?
Thanks in advance

 

wherever you get your oil/filter from will have a book with the specific filter you need. all hondas are the same if i recall correctly.

 

ok and is 10w30 correct? or whats best?

 

I use 5w30 but 10w30 is fine

 

head over to ur local honda dealership and get an oil filter there, they're only about 6$, best one for ur motor since its smaller creates more oil pressure for vtec to work propertly

 

^^ and get a new washer for the drain plug while at the dealer. its only an extra 50 cents.

 

the dealership will know what filter i need if i say b16 tho rite?

 

they are all the same, when I get filters they dont even ask what its for they just bring me one since like 9/10 honda engines are all the same

 

ok and my problem now is that theres not really a honda dealership close to me. What about any of the NAPA filters? and i had also heard things about Hamp Synergy??? where can you get those?

 

Honda OEM filter part#s
15400-PLM-A02 every Honda except the S2000
15400-PCX-004 for the S2000 (I use this on my H22 Prelude)
Recommended oil filters when Honda OEM not available
Mobil M104
K&N HP1004

 

they are all the same except s2k like ^ that guy said.

 

ok thanks alot guys!

 

what would be the fram number... or is that not a good filter to use

 

dude just go to wal-mart and read to filter book they have next to the oil filters.

 

Don't use a shelf fram filter. Just get a honda one

 

K&N HP1004

Thats what i run in my boosted em1. You can get it at autozone!

 

HMM, i always got ph3593a with my old B16.

I run K&N filters now though. Worth every cent.

 

Just because your buying a factory filter doesnt mean its a good one. Honda filters are built in the US and they bid out productions to all kinds of manufacturers like fram, bosch etc etc and throw a honda stamp on them. True story.

 

i ended up getting the k&n one

 

Just because fram makes honda filters doesn't mean the internals are the same as a shelf fram

 

Whoops. That is the right number.

 

so your telling me fram halts production to make "honda spec" filters? c'mon now lets use some common sense. we know thats BS. And its not JUST fram who produces them, its stp and bosch in some cases as well. I read a 5 page article on it the other day. I run K&N on my civic as well as other vehicles. Why go cheap on a part you only change every every 3-4k miles?

 

So you are telling me that a filter company the size of fram uses the same internals on all filters. Diesels, gas, everything. They all have the same quality and internals?

 

Im not saying every filter is identical they make, no. That isnt possible with the many variety of motors and vehicles they provide filters for. Im saying they may add one more filter screen or layer of cotton gauze to their standard filter but its not going to be any night and day difference by any means.
