I read the posts from a couple weeks back about the change in oil filters Acura made. Supposedly the Type R should use the smaller ones...the filter used for the RSX, right?

Anyways, I went to Acura today to pick some up, but when I read the side of the filter it said "FRAM." If i remember correctly, these filters suck! Also, they wanted $7.50 per filter.

I used PureOne filters in the past, but I'm worried they filter so much they don't work well with the VTEC oil pressure system.

So...what's the final verdict on the best (and economic and easy to find) oil filter for the Type R which will work well with the oil pressure of VTEC ??

Thanks!!

 

honda acura says to use the small filter for all applications (accord, civic, tegs, crv etc) except for the S2000, which still uses the 'older' style.

yshi - who'll be ordering S2K filters in the future...

 

$7.50 for a OEM Fram-made filter!?

 

I read on s2ki that they also have changed to the new filter so basically all hondas have the new filter.

 

what do they sell HAMP ones for in the states?
cant beat 300 yen at TYPE ONE

 

300 yen? Dang...

Yeah, you can get hamp from http://www.ipsracing.com and http://www.jdmspecperf.com

 

the S2000 oem oil filters are "made in japan" by Toko Roki (15400-PCX-004). it is the larger size oem filter. the smaller oem honda that is made by fram is of better quality than its radioactive orange counterpart.

really? how is it better, because its blue? - the only difference i see

btw.. is that cardboard on s2000 filter - doesn't seem much better than fram in that case.. theres no cardboard in POH-305 filters..

according to the pic provided in my previous post, the blue filter on the left is an oem honda made by fram. the orange filter on the right is a fram. the blue filter is superior than the orange one in three respects: anti-drain back valve, end caps, and bypass valve.

the "made in japan" oem filter is not pictured in the link you provided. it can be seen in the link provided: http://www.ntpog.org/reviews/f...shtml. scroll down to honda (made in japan) to see pics of the S2000 filter.

Not quite right....until now, the S2K (PCX) filter was not available in the USA....it is not the "older style" filter, but a completely different one. The PCX is the toyo roki...

Oh, and who posted it first?

damn its late.. i'm skipping words.. for some reason i thought that was s2000 filter in the pic and you were reffering to PT7 filter.

 

It states in the article that the Toyo Roki filter isn't available in the states, is it or isn't it?

 

I used PureOne filters in the past, but I'm worried they filter so much they don't work well with the VTEC oil pressure system.



How you figure?

 

"they filter so much even the oil doesnt get through"
