I bought a oil filter for a us integra gsr and it is smaller than the one that came of the jdm engine. I bought a fram ph3593. is this the right one? what filter and part# is everybody else using?

it's the right one. you'll be fine with that filter unless you're **** about it and must have a oem honda piece.

 

thanks

 

I've used the regular Fram PH3593A oil filter on every Civic/Integra motor I've owned: B18C1, B18B1, D16Y7, D15Z1, etc. they are all the same.

 

Here's what Tom said when i asked him:

"Actually yes some of the JDM motors come with the smaller filter like found on the newest Civics, RS-Xs, and CR-Vs. The diameter of the rubber seal on the bottom of the filter (where the filter seals against the oil filter housing) is the exact same as the normal PT7-style 1988-2000 Civic ones or Integra ones, Accord ones, etc.

Basically what I'm saying is that bigger ans smaller filters are pretty much interchangable and I've *heard* that the smaller filter *could* up oil pressure some, but I'm not really sure if that's true or not. I guess it's possible since the filter is smaller, but oh well."

They are all the same and the oem honda one is made by fram so it doesnt really matter. 3593a yo. If youre feeling **** about it pick up a K and N for it.

 

I think this JDM fad has now gone a little too far. It should be the same filter as the '95 GSr for instance.
