I am a firm believer in certain OEM stuff... I have never seen a more robust OEM oil filter than for my Lexus (toyota), but I pass on Honda filters since they appear to be complete crap. I ordered Hengst (Oem provider) filters from Pelican to go with my Motul 8100Xcess purchase from Amazon noted above with free shipping... a good deal for Porsche approved oil for those of use who have no big-box stores who carry the 5W-40 I have decided to use.

I got the Pelican kit because it comes with the drain plug washer too. I buy the oil (5-W40 Castrol Syntec Edge) at local Auto Zone. They have the filters too but Im not sure if they are as good as Pelicans. Fram has degraded into cheap Walmart garbage.

Actually taking apart a honda one shows a decent difference in quality. In my shop I like to take apart the different brand oil filters I see in the scrap, investigate which ones are good, and not so good, for the most part, not much beats OEM, some of the really cheap ones even use paper filters instead of fabric which scares me a little

That deal is still going on (coupon on website) thru 11/30 and includes filter up to $6.99... you pay any difference after that. Best I've seen if you want to use Mobile 1. What filter did they have and what was the upcharge if any?
Unfortunately, no Pep boys near Memphis TN (HQ for Autozone) , but others may want to take advantage of this.

I don't think you can get the "AO1" filters from Honda anymore... now they use AO2 and they went way downhill... but check me on that and make sure I don't have it backwards. Also, love to see if you get a Toyoto OEM Oil Filter and a Purolator Pure One Oil filter apart (the two I currently use on my other cars). Thanks for the intel

I find it hard to believe that the Napa Gold filter, the same used in a Saturn Vue, or Hyundai Accent (to name a few) meets the exact requirements set out by Honda for the AP1 S2000 I had that redlined at 9000rpm.

I drive most of my cars less then 3k a year= still buy all oem parts when I can as I have found after doing the car hobby for 40 years they are usually the best.I do on occasion buy original supplier when oem is no longer available or a performance part for increased hp duty.
