along with the o-ring.

dealers charge me around 12$ total for the 2 peices + tax.

 

well if you want the oem made in canada honda oil filter, you might as well go pick up a fram for $3.99 or a pennzoil filter for $2.99 b/c they are all the same.

 

frams blow....all filters are not equal....read up

go to pep boys and get an 8 dollar filter

 

www.ahmotor.com

 

you can try the online places like
http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net
http://www.ahmotor.com
etc..

or you can just go to autozone and pick up STP filters for like $3, Mobil 1 for $12, Bosch Premium for around $6.. pep boys has purolator Pure One for around $6..

I've been using either Mobil 1 or Purolator Pure One for years (and thousands of miles) w/o any problems... its easier than for me to drive to the local dealer (further and no parking for parts)....

 

Get the Mobil 1 filter for about $9

 

where do they sell it for $9? my local autozone carries it for $11.99.. kragen only carries Fram and the K&N filters.. and pep boys doesn't carry it I think..

I think someone told me summit racing has it for cheaper but I didn't get around to checking

please provide a link or store name/location/addy.. thanks in advance...

 

Frams sucks...stick with OEM filter.

 

yea FRAM is not worth the money. Stick with OEM

 

OEM oil filters that say "made in canada" are made by FRAM , so if you insist on going oem at least purchase the "made in the USA" oil filter.

 

get a K & N one

 

thats a good choice along with the Wix/NAPA Gold/Carquest premium (all the same) oil filter which have good flow rates.

 

Get a HAMP from Mike at IPS.

 

which part of CA are you in?

Anyone in or around San Francisco,

San Francisco Honda has 6 oil filters for $28.95

go to http://www.sfhonda.com and go to the coupon page.

The oil filter from Honda will also fit your Integra, just get either:

15400-P0H-305 (made by Filtech, not the Fram one)



or

15400-PT7-005 (Made by Fram)

Both these will fit the Integras.

 

damn, no online orders

i go to advance auto for a cheap filter for my 88 prelude, it only cost me $6 for a purolater filter and 3.99 for 4 qaurts of oil, so my oil changes only cost me less then $10 .

 

I just got to be good friends with the guy who works in parts at the Acura dealer and I get mine for free.....Its great knowing the right people....

so what is so wrong with the fram filters?

 

The filter element is thin and cheap.

I used to only go for OEM Honda, but now I use Bosch filters from Autozone. I hate driving out to the Acura dealer. The Bosch filters are definately top notch. I believe the filter element is identical to that of Mobil 1 filters.

 

cardboard endcaps (could break apart and circulate in your motor), plastic bypass valve (breaks very easily which can leave your filter in bypass mode all the time), and no anti-drainback valve (oil drains out of your filter back into the motor which leads to dry start ups) to name a few.

i currently use the bosch premium oil filter but im probably gonna switch to a WIX oil filter b/c of the good flow rates. An oil filter that has great filtering ability will probably not have a good flow rate b/c the filter medium may be too restrictive which will cause your filter to go into bypass mode often, i.e. oil circulates in your motor w/o passing through the filter. A filter that has higher flow rates will go into bypass mode less often which means you can be assured that oil is almost always passing through the filter.

 

Pureone . No problems here

 

OEM

 

fram is cheap and sh*tty. have you seen the cut-outs (cross-sections) of those? crappy thin cardboard endcaps, the filter itself is poor quality w/ very little surface area. if you hate your car or don't care about it; Fram all the way. fram is to maaco as bosch is to a real paint shop.

 

what a coincedence, acura of riverside just mailed us a coupon book with one for "buy 3 oil filters and get one free".
