I was wondering how much oil will drain if I remove the oil filter only. I'm trying to remove my adapter for the gauges, and don't want to do a full drain. I know it's not a lot of work, but just curious anyway

 

Just check your oil after your done, Its not alot just get a qt of w/e oil is in there and check it when done.

 

It's about 1/3 quart. (I run S2000 filters.) Install a new filter, start the car,let run for a minute, check the oil level and add oil.

 

dont mean to threadjack or interrupt but why run s2000 filters over normal ones?

 

I think it raises your oil pressure a little, thats the only reason. correct me if I'm wrong though.

 

They shrunk the oil filter in the early 2000s. I prefer that the oil filter impart a minimal pressure drop. The S2000 filter is more in line with the original size oil filter. I also am finishing off a 10-pack.

 

cost difference per filter?

 

This was like five years ago. LOL. I think that I paid $55 for a case of 10.

 

I wouldnt just add 1/3 a qt.. I dont think he replacing his oil filter just taking it off.. Just buy a qt of oil OP and go from there

 

be sure and turn it over and prime the sytem before you check again or you wont get an accurate reading. you can pull your plug wires and turn it over or crank it and turn it right back off a couple time or just let it run it really doesnt matter since your only barley short

 

Just an FYI...

According to our local dealer, Honda is switching the s2000 to the same filter all other Honda's use. The larger filter for the s2000 is now discontinued or heading that way. My buddy just tried to pickup a few the other day. You might want to hurry and buy another case.

 

i tried to see what the difference was at the parts store. i use a k and n filter and a b series and s2000 have the same part number.
