    ryco or original?? (fuel, oil, air, pollen filters)

    Quick question to those in the know.. is there a marginal differance between an original fuel filter, or any filter for that matter as apposed to a Ryco unit.

    Looking to replace oil, air, pollen and fuel filters this week. (car running bit rough)

    on eg of $ difference = Fuel filter Honda $70.00 VS Ryco $42.00

    Cheers in advance

    if it was me i would use OEM filters for oil and fuel. i would use K&N air filter (OEM would probs cost more). Ryco cabin filter

    Do you have a pic of the Ryco fuel filter? The Honda one is a custom shape plastic filter, which I didn't think Ryco made.

    The only thing that I would use Ryco for would be the cabin filter. Stick to OEM for the rest as they are not that expensive since you replace the air filter every 2 years, 4 years for fuel filter and the Honda oil filter is only $15 anyway.

    the fuel filter that autobarn sells is near identical to the oem one and costs not much less

    k&n filters/pods pay for themselves in terms of reusability alone

    K&N filter = $120 (for life)
    Cleaning and reoiling kit = $40
    OEM air filter = $50 (lasts 2 years)

    So it takes you about 6.4 years to break even. Are you going to keep the car for that long, plus having the hassles of washing, drying and oiling it? If you overoil, then you get a sticky TB and that will need cleaning too.

    Go to Hondwreck on Westall rd in Clayton south (or any other Honda wrecker that is better). OEM Honda oil filters are much cheaper there. Shit service but doesn't matter if you are buying oil filters.

    Just call up a different dealer and ask for a price.

    Guys,

    Most of the time, RYCO / VALVOLINE / OEM filters come from the same manufacturer in china, you think there would be all different facotries for filters?

    My after market Ryco fuel filter looked exactly the same as the OEM and it only cost me $35.00.. thats right $35.00!

    My OEM one is made in Japan and cost me $55. On something that I change every 80,000km, the $20 extra is nothing for a critical component which, if it fails, allows particulates and any crap into your injectors and have you facing a nice repair bill due to clogged injectors and running lean from a lack of fuel.
