oem honda .. cant get anything better than oem

its abt $50-60 at honda

[phil3842]

are the honda ones all the same for every car

[bennjamin]

no. There is a few types.
Give you local honda or parts department your car and model type/engine type and they will give you the filter to suit.
PS change the fuel filter every 40k , less in extreme dodgy fuel cirumstances

[phil3842]

thanks for the help will ring honda tomorrow and get one

[beeza]

Yup OEM all the way!

i'm actually curious if anyone has opened up an oem Honda filter after prolonged use of United Petroleums' 98Boost w/ 10% ethanol?

my oem nissan ones deteriorated and ended up replacing for a high flow copper element filter

Our 94 Accord that lived on 98 RON had its original fuel filter changed after 12 years. LOL. The inside was full of a gel-like substance, causing blockages. Good thing it was only an F22a that rarely saw over 4000rpm.
