Euro oil filter

In comparison, the CU2 sounds easier, just remove 7 bolts, drop the undertray for easier access and the oil drain bolt and oil filter is right there facing the rear.
PS: the Ryco replacement filter is a Z547 and can be had for around $15.

ive had the honda dealer where i bought the euro from inform me that the ryco filter was prone to leaking. Car was under warranty still so didnt risk it. Wonder if he was telling whoppers

Info: Honda genuine oil filter is the pastel green coloured Hamp Synergy.

yeah. There's a member on the forum selling a few for 25 dollars each. Cant recall what honda were charging. Pretty close or lower i would think?

If you have had no problems with your filter, i'll pick up a couple next time supercheap have a 20% off sale. You have a CL9 too ? or CU2

[chris41]

CU2 for me.

just quickly on another topic but since its about oil as well, Does anyone know if Honda have changed the makeup off their feo oil in the last year or so? I dont know if its cos the car is getting on in age (110km) but everytime after a service the engine used to rev quite freely....now it feels the same as before it went in.

Not sure but I had Mobil Super S (semi-syn) quoted on my lasts service invoice,
I assume their using that as their bulk oil?
Im happier now Ive got Mobil 1 fully syn back in it.

mobil 1 super syn...exxy.

I have a few tubs of castrol edge 5w-30 so will try that next service.
