i need to pick up an oil filter tomorrow but i have a problem.

nearest acura dealership is 45minutes away... nearest honda dealership is 15 minutes away.

Can i just get an oil filter from honda for my gsr??

 

if i was to order one, id just order everything through ahmotor.com....but i dont want to wait. i plan on changing my oil tomorrow, and need it tomorrow.
thanks anyway

 

why do you NEED an oem filter?
fram, puroilator, etc.
any name brand works fine

 

i know they will...im **** about stupid little things. go ahead, flame on, but its me.

OEM Honda

 

i work at a lube place when im not at school..just go get a 88-00 civic filter, it will work. and so will other models....but im too lazy to type them out...the new ones r different size on the new civics...but this one is for sure the same as a generic 88-00 civic.honda=acura=same ****.

 

yes a honda oem filter for civics work for integras also. Same filter

 

use anything but fram. I read a report in the net about them, they came in dead last. I believe bosch, Mobil 1, and STP filters came in first (all the same manufacturer).

 

thanks everyone. picked up an OEM filter from honda.

 

By any chance do you have the link of that report?? Be nice to look at.

 

I've read that report - but I don't have the link, sorry. FYI: the bosch, mobil 1 and stp filters' construction is almost identicle to the OEM honda filters, same oil flow,durability and anti drainback reliability. The only difference is the filter material itself - bosch, stp and OEM honda filter material is OKAY, while the Mobil 1 filter medium is the best.

Now, if you lived in japan, the filter material for OEM honda would be as good as (or better) Mobil 1's. Some reason Honda decided to give us cheaper filters than the ones that they have - if you want ultimate performance/protection, definitely go with the Mobil 1.

we've taken apart an OEM honda filter at school and several other filters mentioned above and they all were almost identical, so its up to you on which one you get, my friend has and GSR and just uses honda filters so you shouldnt hava a problem.

Thank goodness, because I've been using Bosch for as long as I've owned my car.

Fram sucks, I used their filter and the thread inside the filter stripped on me . Needless to say it took me 45 minutes to get the filter off. Im sticking with oem

 

Hamp the green filter.
