i was wondering what oil filter i should use for a zc motor. just got the car so i dont really know anything about the motor. and if you guys can provide me with how much oil goes into the motor, that would be helpful.

 

Use one for an 88 - 91 Civic. I believe they are all the same. Get one with a good anti - drainback valve like Wix or Bosch. Don't get Fram. Anyway, it takes a little under 4 quarts of oil. I believei it is the same specification as listed on the stock air filter box (for a USDM car), but check the dipstick just to be sure.

 

thanks!

Why don't you want to get the cheap (Fram/STP) type ones and get the BOSCH ones?

 

Fram has/had cardboard endcaps and a cheasy anti drainback valve that would let oil drain back out of the filter. Plus the filter medium was smaller than anyone elses. Look here for a comparison on different brands. http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw....html

 

anyone here use the honda filter? I pay ~ 6.50 for one =p

 

been using fram since day 1 w/o problems.

oem honda, tried the mobil 1 synthetic....recommended to be used with mobil 1, but you dont have to

 

Add another on the OEM Filters... get a washer while your there too!

 

oem honda filter

9.50 cnd and it includes a washer which you should change at every oil change

 

I get Honda filters for free so I'll just stick with them.

Not true. The new SOHC engines in the 7th gen's use a different, smaller filter. Fram PH7317. But yes, almost all Honda's use the same filter. I know one or two more that are different too.

 

supertech from walmart! $1.99 at walmart and better than fram!

 

OEM

 

i use honda oem filters and buy a set of 10 from http://www.ahmotor.com/. with the crush washers its usually under $60 shipped!

 

Whats so bad about fram? I have been using them forever!

 

Read that link above to see what's wrong with Fram, I still use them too but I've been trying to find something else to switch to. When you read that site it seems that every filter you see in a parts store is made by Fram anyways.
