Mobil 1 Oil Filter = the Best, but you get what you pay for.. a lil pricey

I've used the following:

Honda OEM (Made by FRAM)

Quaker State by Sopus

FRAM (Orange one)

They're are all pretty cheap filters. Honda's OEM is a FRAM but cost more than the orange FRAM.

ive tried K&N a few times (too pricey), used to use oem for a while which was prolly a bad move but oh well, now using napa gold. maybe next time i will try mobil1 since i think our store carries em now.

I use Fram TG I like the media inside, if not Fram TG then Hamp. I use Valvoline Semi-Synthetic 5w30 for now. When I swap or turbo I will flush the system and switch to Eneos 0w-30. Best oil out there pricey but the best.

I use Honda OEM S2000 filter part #15400-PCX-004 ($9.12) or the K&N part# HP-1004 ($12.99) in my 6th gen 2000 Civic EX, and 5th gen 2000 Prelude TypeSH.

Wix filters

If you cut open a FRAM the insides are held together with a cardboard frame that gets broken down by the hot oil.
I use purolator pure 1, they are all metal, have a better capacity for contaminants due to more filter media, and low oil pressure increase. everything you want in a good oil filter. oh, and the valve that stops the contaminants from falling back into your oil pan when engine shut off, also made of metal with a better seal than alot of the competition.
also, highly recommend Esso XD-3 oil. it's a class 4 synthetic available for the price of most class 3's. Very good stuff for all conditions. I have used in 97tercel, 91civic, 90silvia, everything from high mileage to high HP.

Yup^
reason i use Wix, diaphragm is crap on FRAM filters!!
if you open up a WIX youll notice the way its put together kills the FRAM.

I trust and use WIX and will continue to do so, same with using RP for my choice in oil.

Honda OEM

Honda has been running commercials in my area with a catchy slogan:

"If it isn't a genuine Honda part, it shouldn't be part of your Honda"

I guess advertising works

[colourwolf]

lol @ Dash555.....i hear it everyday....
Ottawans eh..lol

[colourwolf]

btw..I use OEM S2000 filter

[sniperscout]

oil filter? who uses one of those? just duct tape the hole shut and forget about it

whats the diff between s2000 oem and civic oem? in theory they would be the same

[Johnold]

I'm still using Mobil 1. I don't have an EM2 anymore but My 07 Si coupe still takes Mobil 1's oil. 5w30. AND a Mobil 1 oil filter. My Si STILL takes Mobil 1's M1-110 oil filter.

My last oil changed I swapped over to high performance synthetic, and a Fram oil filter.
