What kinda oil filters do you guys use? Arent almost all honda motors' oil filters the same?

Anyone ever heard of HAMP? i read something about them and wanted to know if they are worth it.

 

do i search in the members corner
i asked the same qeustion a week ago and got great responses

 

fram

 

Well lets see

Mobil 1 STP Bosch Premium are all the same filter essentially and are the best you can get. Mobil 1 has a synthetic filter so it costs slightly more.

Fram theyre essentially all exactly the same thing and that teflon one sucks cause teflon has been proven to suck for engines

Honda Filters Only ones that came from Japan are any good and the ones made here for Honda are basically Crappier than Fram.

HAMP Filter is easier to get than a true JDM honda filter and is basically same thing as the JDM honda filter

Look for yourself .....youll see FRAM SUCKS & so does Honda

Spend a $1 more, and go get Honda Oil filters... They each come with a new crush washer and are the best for your Honda engine

 

Fram & Honda filters both suck

 

did you even just read the post above yours?

I vote for HAMP

 

You do not know what you are talking about.

Honda has a diaphragm built into the filter so at any point in time the filter is never dry.

This could lead to cracks and failure of the filter and you not know it.

Honda puts them on their cars for a reason, because they know it works.

Whats on a stock Type R, HONDA filter. Also the honda filters have 3 different filters. one in the states, canada, japan.

Look it up.

 

ok USDM & Canadian Filters Suck

Read the links i posted above

 

Stock Honda is the way to go dude!

 

RSX Honda filter

 

k&N makes filters for hondas as well.

 

You have to replace the oil filter??

LOL, j/k.... I don't care what I use, motors won't last forever...

 

since I change my oil at 3k, sometimes less, I never worry about it.

If you going resonably long distances that include hard driving I would suggest a better filter.

Remember, it's oil, not whiskey so don't go spending too much money.

You can get an engine to run very hard and last very long without having to spend 10$ a quart on syn. oil and 15$ on an oil filter.

 

using Hamp right now, just couple bucks more than stock ones

 

***** a syn oil.

 

I plan on starting to use the fram tough gaurd filter. 99% pass efficiency works for me.

 

ive used frams on all of my cars and they havent failed me yet.

 

I use Fram X2, and have used Frams before and they are fine. I don't see whats not to like about them, they work fine.

 

Frams aren't bad... But their anti-drainback design is kinda flimsy, oil still drains out of the filter back to the oil pan sometimes with the Fram. But I do like the Fram tough guard's filtering efficiency!

STP and Bosch are exactly the same, so if you want a good cheap one, buy the STP.

But if you want a filter that is designed very durable(like the STP and Bosch), but filters the best - get a Modil 1.

 

hey i gotta question, what the hell is a crush washer? and how do i use it? i think thats what the dealer gave me with my filter.

 

gotta be honda. nothings better than the stock filter.

 

fram toughguard or Purolator...

 

A crush washer is the washer inbetween the drain plug and the oil pan. Technically your suppose to replace it every time you use it cause is suppose to be only good one time but oh well I have used a cheap plasic one till it cracked then went to honda and the guy gave me a bag full for free and I still dont change them every time. Not neccesary but a precaution, especially if you cant get it in the air to check for leaks whenever.

 

kool thanks. I wasn't use to getting a washer when i get a filter caue i usually buy Fram filters and they dont come with anywashers. And i usually just us the box to make a washer and use that for the drain plug. But thanks alot for the info!
