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.

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?
 
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

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

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

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?
 
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.

throw out ur FRAM. just cut mine open 2 oil changes ago and it was shit construction... it had soooo many less pleats than any other filter i found and my oil was always dirty...

I run Bosch or K&N... way better construction and filtration.

and the same price.

Mobile 1 oil with a Mobile 1 filter.

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?
 
fram is definitely over rated garbage that people buy for some reason . if i could find it i would definitely use amsoil products they really are the best but there not easy to find so i use royal purple with synthetic micro glass royal purple filter.it filters at 25 microns

gearbox 04-12-2009 06:58 PM

Re: poll: what oil filter do you use?
 
i would use amsoil if it werent so crazy expensive. fram is all marketing hype and advertisement, and its cheap thats why people buy it. i had people come in all the time for oil change supplies and 90% always asked for the fram filter. and if you turn the box over, the filtration rate is a measly 94%
