98 Integra Oil Filters
What is the deal with Honda going to the Generic oil filter to fit every car?
Went to the dealer and they had the: 15400-PLM-A02 I think?
Is this not the part number?
The 15400-PLM-A02 is a larger filter, does that mean better? I wouldn't think so? May have to go aftermarket. What do you use?

Re: 98 Integra Oil Filters
I used to use PCX S2000 oil filters on my integra. I use them now on my TSX.
Reasons:
-I saw some post with a bunch of mumbo jumbo about how they can help to reduce oil consumption.
-To my surprise, they actually reduced (greatly!!!) my TSX's oil consumption (combined with Castrol 0W30...which I'm sure also helped because its so GD thick).
-This combination also seems to have almost eliminated the famous TSX start up rattle. Something about a stiffer anti-drainback valve in the PCX filter.
-I bought gangs of them for my S2000. So I had a bunch laying around.
Its noteworthy that you almost surely CANNOT fasten a S2000 filter by hand. Use a wrench and torque it. Or use a strap wrench and tighten it via the clocking method written on the filter.
