i just changed my oil and filter, same oil but different filter. it was a honda filter but slightly larger than the one that came off the car. dealer said it was the new replacement. my oil pressure went up 5-7psi on my autometer mechanical oil pressure guage, is it ok?

 

could it be that you have more oil?

 

had about 1/4 of a quart too much, but i drained it out and it is still the same.

 

hrrrm, i dont know about that.

 

Actually its pretty safe that your oil pressure has risen, it'll help more in lubrication and take away heat, as you already kow. Did you know that you can actually use Honda's new RSX Type S oil filter and gain a few more psi of oil pressure too?

i almost bought an rsx filter for that purpose but wasnt sure if it was a good thing.
