hey all i updated page 5 on my webpage, check out what happened to my lude when i installed a K&N oil filter and it restricted my engine oil flow

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/381885/5

partly my fault for using k&n piece of crap oil filter instead of the honda oil filter

 

that sucks dude

 

Oh damn man that sucks. Maybe I should stop using the K&N oil filter on my lude.

 

Honda oil filter every time for me.

 

fram...i love the grip on it makes it so much easier when doin a oil change

 

that doesn't look too good, one again, think i'm gonna switch back to oem honda

 

I use mobil one filter and it does great for me.

Sucks to hear that the K&N fucked up your car

Sorry to hear that man. See the above link for a way to prevent future bad times.

 

Whats the difference between the large and small?

 

what proves it was the filter and not user error? ive used k&n for years w/out a prob. im not saying i dont beleave you, i just want some details.

 

Thats shitty man...

 

Keep in mind he's boosted and the K&N could be restrictive for this type of application ... I can't say for sure but ..

I know i'm going to stay with Honda OEM for sure as well.

For thoses that dont know my setup, custom kit, 10 psi, 300's whp(hopefully, well see next week)

 

I work at Roush Honda In Westerville and I just use the S2000 filter, the smaller oem honda filters leak and the s2000 dont.

i've never had my oem filter leak. that's on 3 different hondas too.

 

honda actually just changed there filter, my buddy got a case, the actually look smaller, just put on on my moms crv

 

How do you know the low pressure was from the oil filter and not from a broken or worn out oil pump gear. I have broken a gear or two.

 

that's weird

 

Tests on PO have shown K&N to be a very good filter.....Do you have prodrive pump gears? The honda filter tested bad, the new ones tested even worse....Since K&N are gods among filters youd think that they would make a good one....

Ditto!

I don't think it's the filter.

 

ok, heres the update, i changed the oil only on the car again, start up and oil pressure is fine, light goes out and all

now this time i changed the oil and the i replaced the honda oil filter (a) with another new honda oil filter (b), when i start the car the oil light stays on. I disconnected the distributor wire and cranked the motor a couple times to build up oil pressure. when i started the car oil light stayed on.

i put back the honda oil filter (a) i had on before and started the car and within seconds the oil light went out.

ok so i say to myself maybe i put on the filter wrong somehow. i put back on honda oil filter (b) again, cranked motor to build oil pressure, start the car and again the oil light will stay on.
again i went back to the honda oil filter (a) and cranked motor to build oil pressure and as soon as i started the car, couple seconds later the oil light goes out like it supposed to

when i had all the oil filters off the car on the table the original oil filter and the honda oil filter (a) had some weight to it like oil was flowing through them.
the k&n oil filter and the honda oil filter (b) had no weight to them like oil was not flowing through them

how could this be??, or is it that i know how to change oil but i don't know how to change an oil filter.

I thought that with the relocation kit and the additional oil cooler, maybe to need alittle more time the build pressure in order to get out air bubbles in the lines

could it be that the k&n oil filter and some of the honda oil filters might not work on my car because my lude is a picky piece of sxxt?

 

I just dont see that K&N filtering bad.....I have never had a pressure problem and I run K&N

 

Sorry to hear about your motor. That sucks big time! I've never had experience with K&N oil filters. I only use OEM Honda or HAMP

 

hmm.. this is really weird... i just had almost the same thing happen to my head... and i just put on my JRSC... beside the fact that i snapped my timing belt, the mechanic found that the camshafts were grinding down the head, most probably because there was a lack of oil pressure.... my oil light never came on.... but it only turns on when there less than 2psi... or something really really low like that.....

I also run a K&N oil filter... but i havent had any problems with it.... never really suspected that it may be the culprit... hmm.... any new findings on this?
