Oil filter for EM1

[jaz3]

What oil filter do you guys recommend? Model numbers?

Not sure wether to go genuine honda filter or a ryco.


Thanks!

[latinstyle69]

just go genuine honda filter cos honda pretty much makes everythin perfect for their engines

Honda ftw, with their factory tool, removing/ installing & torquing up is a breeze, it's like $10 for the tool and their filters aren't very expensive, the tool also works for Hamp filters as well :)

where can you buy the 'factory tool'?

I bought mine at my local honda dealer. I know some dealers don't sell them though.

[EK1.6LCIV]

all dealers do sell them

HAMP oil filter, use it on my EK4

[misteR_bilzz]

all filters from honda are the same. 1 size fits all.

[blk_shadow]

except NSX or the old V6 Legend

Hey mate, found the part number from Honda for the oil filter removal tool. It is 04151MWO305, that should help you out just fine


Cheers,

Z79A for ryco....i think

Most people say all oil filters are the same...as long as they're changed regularly.
Personally i use genuine honda ones...(dark blue)
I read somewhere that the jdm (HAMP) filters increase oil pressure slightly...is it true?

Ryco is too wide to get off easily, cheap and shit. Oem filters have an optional tool to remove them easily and to torque them up with during install

Hamp have a tendancy to leak, as Honda here won't sell them due to this fact, they were considering doing so but they had a high record of leakage due to gasket design. I've seen no proof of this on my end though

[dumped echo]

Not sure about how wide they are...but i assume it really it depends what tool you're using to remove it.
I've got a couple different tools and neither of them have trouble removing genuine honda, hamp or ryco filters.

I went to my local honda dealer insearch of this infamous tool, and they claimed they've never heard of it.

whats the diff with hamp and the normal oem one?
increase in filtering/performance?

The only disadvantage is that with any other tool it will not allow you to re-torque the oil filter to the specified torque so it doesn't leak

They're full of shit or you didn't go, simple as that, it's a oil filter removal tool, they use them daily on every single vehicle apart from the 6 cylinders. They're under $10 at the parts desk

Hamp has a non paper filter element and "claimed" better flow rate, and a proven leak rate in alot of cases when tested here in OZ as I have found out. Oem ones do not leak period

Do you have a link to the number of leak problems? I'm currently on the Hamp because I have an oil sandwich plate and need a shorter filter. Will report if it leaks.

[EK1.6LCIV]

No link, it was a case study during when Honda was bringing them into OZ, after a number of cases of gaskets not seating properly they stopped, they're not into having any kind of problems with their new vehicles

[aaronng]

Is HAMP used as OEM in Japan or is there an equivalent Honda blue filter being sold there?

[EK1.6LCIV]

both from memory can be had over there

[EGJOE]

I'm using hamp filter and know of a dozen other hondas using hamp filter and I havent heard of one leak yet :thumbsup:

[Anwyl]

[Raztaz]
