Go read reviews where they cut the filters open. The cheap ones use cardboard endcaps and the bypass valves are shit. Then you have the filter media. Some have more, while others have less. Some use proper filter media, others use a cheap paper filter.

Genuine Honda filters from Japan and the U.S are good.

The Aus ones are also pretty good...they are like $25 from the dealer but whatevs

anyone tried the K&N oil filter range ? any reviews ?

seriously for the price difference between OEM and some generic cheap shit brand, why bother, oil filter is without a doubt one of the most important factors to engine maintenance and possibly engine wear. For the sakes of $5-$10 dollars difference.

Thanks for the reply everyone, Why would you consider Ryco as shit, Its pretty much a reputable filter in all workshops and shops, I've been using it on my previous car 200sx for years with no problems, has anyone had any bad experiences using it on the s2000?
I Actually got one yestiday, should I bother returning it for an OEM?

I'd agree with the Ryco ones being inferior.
Had a mate who cut up a Purflux(euro filter, possibly one of the best) and a Ryco a few years back. The Purflux had about double the filter media and it was much finer, better quality and for the price saving, I'd not bother with anything but genuine if they are good.
I have found on my resto-ed car(Renault R10) the Ryco are rubbish and the claim of anti-drain back valve is not as good as they say. (just bought one because there was a shortage of genuine ones)
What filter brand do Honda use as genuine ones?

My point being, that Ryco make replacement filters, which are cheap, cheap is made to sub standards with cost being a priority and not quality. IMO don't use a Ryco and fit an oem one. Peace and mind for the sakes of a few bucks.

I agree with japs2k. My mechanic used a cheaper non-oem filter (because honda was closed at the time) and it turned out to start leaking at the gasket after a week. I learnt my lesson, save yourself in the long run and buy oem.
