Hi guys,
Does anyone know what's the model number of the OEM oil filter for S2000 in oz?
Btw - Has anyone ever used HAMP oil filter on their S2K's? I've got one from JDMConcept and the model number is H1540-RTA-505. However from the supported vehicles list on its package box I don't see S2000 (AP1/AP2). Should I better off not using it?
thanks in advance!
i use hamp oil filters in mine...its just an oil filter, if it fits its all good
just get yourself an OEM one for like $11.
OR a HAMP for $12.
doesn't really matter. haha.
i has a mugen one :D $50
I use HAMP in mine, it's beautfiul.
Bought a bunch off JDM for pretty good price, think it made it like $10/each or something.
I have an OEM, some gold paint and a spare $39 in my wallet.Quote:

Zhong - is your HAMP oil filter the same model as mine?
Pretty sure all HAMP filters for S2000 are the same, and for all hondas too. because they fit nearly all of them?Quote:

I'm pretty sure all HAMP filters for Honda are the same as well... Don't quote me on it though, but it fit my mate's EK no problems too. It's green. lol
Bumping this up - Dealer just quoted me $21.80 inc GST for one. Sounds a bit rich? K&N works out cheaper but I need one by tomorrow morning... Where did you guys get quoted $11? (I know its only $10 but adds up for future reference..)
If you are on a deadline $22 ain't much.
Otherwise, order online and wait the time.
Just go to Burson or Repco and buy a Z79A or Z547 for $10
Prefer OEM.. Bought anyway.
OEM filters have a higher sprung bypass valve.. due to s2ks higher pressure oil pump. Using a shitty repco filter with their one size fits all mentality. Your filter could be doing sweet **** all and by passing the entire time.. also the construction of the filter matters as well.. some s2ks have literaly spun off their filters causing a fire... Hence company's like Js racing produce "Oil filter stoppers." Food for thought.
Buy OEM or HAMP. Make life easier and better by knowing that it works and it's good. Also, if you track it, use a J's oil filter stopper. 9k RPM can cause it to loosen and start a fire.
What yank said. Just buy OEM... not sure on Hamp's bypass settings etc so I can't recommend.
And no point getting a oil filter stopper unless you're doing track work or thrash your car constantly... I had my filter loosen and leak oil on my first track day... luckily it wasn't much. I naively bought the J's piece at a pretty rip off JDM penny :p It's literally a bracket with a large hose clamp attached... that's it. I'm sure you could make something similar from Bunnings and then just scribble "J's WaCiNg SPIriT OF JDmz" on it.
Alternatively, some of the K&N filters actually have a hole in the tip so you can secure some wire from the oil filter to a point on your engine to stop it from loosening up.
K&N HN1004 is my preference for that reason and also because the end is a 1 inch nut so tightening and loosening is a doodle.Quote:

I need to do an oil change soon... I think I'll try the K&N as I've had to stab the last few oil filters with screwdrivers :(Quote:

I have an account with Rocket so can put together a GB through S2ki if anyone is interested.

Some reading if anybody is keen.
K&N uses good materials, metal ends (not cardboard...) and has the nut to boot so I'm sold.
There's a seller on eBay going for about $14AUD each with free postage? So if you can beat that...
Its been years since i was in the f20c game, technologies may have changed and im not preaching everyone should go buy wanky Js filter stopper haha.. I had one given to me when did my f20c ae86swap.. a simple metal bracket and hose clamp would suffice.. Just beware going cheap on s2k filters. just like from aozora's post
If it's a breeze to remove the oil filter without having to punture the filter then that ticks my boxes.
This vendor on s2ki offer the stopper for $36. http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/9195...st-36-shipped/
Can be easily made, but i'd rather buy as I'm lazy.
