99% of Honda/Acura use the SAME filter.

Fram # 3593A for the old style(larger)
Fram # 7317 for new style (smaller)

I use Honda filters, just gave the Fram # because it's the most common. There is nothing wrong with Fram filters.

One of their specific lines is just built cheap(cardboard ends, etc., lots of reviews on different forums). from the reviews it seems almost all filters are good except Fram Extra Guard and Double Guard, Pennzoil, STP, Supertech, and Bosch.

btw, i use Bosch on my D15B

but on my parent's and sister's car(which need to last longer than mine), i use NAPA or Mobil.

fram works great assuming you change your oil every 3500 miles. people who say they suck, must not be doing their oil changes regularly.

fram filters are the worst flowing filters out there.

Well IMO on oil filters (since my thread has changed subjects), i think its best for motors to run its smoothest using OEM products. i use honda oil and oil filters. did u know that honda dealerships do oil changes for $30 bucks?? call ur local honda dealer, that price isnt bad, they even threw in a free car wash!

BullShifter · #13 07-11-2005, 02:01 AM

$30 for an oil change is a rip off! At the Honda dealer I worked at an oil change is $34.95. I could see paying that if a HAND WASH/DRY was included but no way in hell I'd let my car get washed in that meatgrinder of a carwash.

Honda doesn't make their own oil, it's Valvoline.

Anyone ever heard of a filter called "Hamp Synergy"? Is it just another oem honda filter or is there a difference?

thats the OEM JDM Honda oil filter. i dont know who its made by though. the USDM oil filters are made by Fram i believe(but i dont think they are the Double or Extra Guard type).
