Oil Filter Question

[Jomsy]

Do any honda's use a Z386, like toyota's use, the reason i ask is cause with my trust oil cooler kit thats what it uses, and i want to know if i need to buy my own filter come service time

[ECU-MAN]

dont put a ryco on your Honda

go get a genuine one, there worth the money

[kyle]

all $10 :P

Like John says, there the same price and are better.

The Trust Oil cooler kit uses Z386's so the Z79(Ryco version of Honda filter) or even a Honda OEM filter will not work on the Trust Oil Cooler Kit.

The Ryco Filter is OK but it might be worth getting a genuine Z386 style filter

[Jomsy]

i want to know if there is a z386 equivilant that is OEM honda

[iamhappy46]

No, Honda do not make a Z386 equivalent. Z386 was only ever designed to be fitted to a Toyota.

You will need the Z386 to be a non genuine Honda item or remove the oil cooler kit.

why dont you go to toyota and see what they have, check out their filter quality???

[Jomsy]

you would think a company like trust would engineer there oil cooler kit to 100% suit the application, its a fantastic kit bar that

[iamhappy46]

The Z386 filter kit keeps oil pressure higher due to the psi drop across the oil cooler core and thru the oil lines. That is why Trust use that filter...

Yeh, what he said!. Please explain ECU-MAN whats so bad about them.

For the same price i would buy the Honda one too, but its a hassle to go to a Honda dealer to buy, when i can just go to my local Supercheap or Repco and pick up a Ryco.

Nothing worng with Ryco, they are manufactured to the same quality as OEM or Ryco will pay for any damage caused IF the filter is fitted by a qualified mechanic.

Honda OEM therefore, is probably better quality if you are taking the risk of servicing the vehicle yourself.

legalities wise , yes it is better to chuck on a OEM filter leaving the less chance of a stuff up via DIY servicing...but in the real world IMO Others are "universal" and no doubt wont be as nice n tug as a OEM item.
Get honda stuff MADE for honda engines :)

OEM filters have much better filtration element inside than aftermarket filters.

also better sealing mechanism, for example,

4 time out of 10, when you remove a aftermarket filter, the O ring will stay on the block increasing the chance of double sealer. where as an OEM filter, 10 out of 10 the O ring will be on the filter when you take it off, if for some weird reson and im not saying it will never happen, that the seal stays on the block with an OEM filter, it probably because it was overtightened or someting.

I have never had a OEM seal stuck on the block. still always check.

plus very little chance of the OEM filter leaking.
also if you have the corect tool, you will always get the OEM filter off, none of this screwdriver through the filter action.
