Does mobil make an oil filter for the type r? If so, is it better than the stock type r filter?

 

Yes, Mobil does make a Mobil 1 filter for the Type R. The filter number is M1-104 (the same one recommended for all Integra engines). Check out the following web site that has an analysis of this filter and several others.

Also, check out the following site, which has reviews of the Honda filters and several others.

thats the filter I use. Mobil claims its good for 15,000 miles. I still change it every 3000 miles.

 

I would still prefer to have some Hamp's

Hahaha... DOHC, you're really lucky to have access to them. Cheap too! For the less fortunate ones like us, we have to use Mobile 1.

Oh, I'm in Canada... I can't even get Mobile 1 filters. Damn... Gonna get my Fram I guess...

 

OUCH I'll hook ya up when ya get her OK

 

Thanks... It'd be funny when I pass through customs though. 10 filters in my luggage. LOL passing through xrays, they'll think it's a big bomb I made!

 

hahahaha

 

It looks like stp or bosche filters is the way to go to me.
I can't believe honda filters suck. I want to see more research.

 

Who said honda filters Suck..??

 

Does anyone use the Fram X2? Isn't it all pretty much preference when it comes to this? I mean, as long as your using a reliable, durable oil (pref synth in our cases I would assume) and a long life oil filter (I use Fram X2) isn't it all pretty much the same? If not, please tell me in a non-biased, technical way, why I shouldn't use a Fram X2 with Castrol Synth...

 

You shouldn't use castrol Synthesic cause it is not true synnthetic. I will keep looking for that oil article I read. Seems like it was an old car and driver or motortrend

 

This is why honda oil filters suck and why you shouldn't use fram: http://ntpog.server101.com/reviews/f.../filters.shtml

Basically fram uses a plastic bypass valve with no seal, and in this study, after playing with it, the bypass valve stuck open!!! It also has "fuzzy" filtering material. Honda filters are even fuzzier.

 

Learned something new from that link Thanks

 

Dave,

Have you tried the Power Enterprise Mag Power filter made by Denso? I still have one sitting on my desk

 

Got a part # on that filter .??? I need to change my Oil next week and I have about 15 Hamps lay'n around I'm game to try a new filter...besides I change my oil ever 3300km anyways

 

That site is really good, thanks! Unfortunately there is nothing RE: the Fram X2. This is a new generation Fram Filter. Anyone have a more recent study on this one? Thanks again though.

Go to http://www.framx2.com/ for information. (According to Fram though unfortunately).

 

I get my bosch filter from pep boys or autozone.

 

Inline4 sells HAMP http://www.inlinefour.com/honhamoilfil.html

 

Hey a lifetime supply of hamp oil filters, i remember reading somewhere that HAMP is a cheaper aftermarket maker of parts for honda, whats up with that?

 

damn! about two years ago i bought the a&h 10 honda filter special; i thought i was very wise. now this filter test says the "canadian" filters are the worst and guess what i have 3 more of.....
oh well, i'll finish these up and switch to mobil or bosch or stp.

 

yeah i believe yoshi found a quote from honda somewhere saying why they were using them..it seems they save money from buying from someone else instead of making their own..maybe even a better product..i need to do a search

 

seems to me the best of the best is the Toyo Roki filter that orginally came with our Rs...

I still have mine as a (dirty) keepsake....



BTW, I noticed this difference the 1st time I did the oil change on the car....the can of the filter was noticeably larger....

hrmmmm......time to stock up the next time I'm in HK.....

 

Whatever happened to the scare of Mobil1 filters grenading?

I thought there were a few isolated cases on this board...
