I reckon that installing a Magnefine Filter (3/8th fittings) in in my MY 12 Accord Euro 5 Speed Auto, in place of the Honda OEM part, is the way to go.
But once again, I ask which way is the flow direction on the genuine part? Looking at the OE style filter from side on, as per the attached photo, you can see that it is longer on one side of the raised lip on the casing, than it is the other.
On my vehicle, the filter is mounted vertical, not lying across the transmission case. The short side is underneath. The long side on the top. The hose it is in, runs between the pre heater and the transmission housing.
So can anyone advise which way does the fluid flow run? Down into the filter from above (FROM the pre heater TO the transmission) or up into the filter from below? (TO the pre heater FROM the transmission.)
Obviously the info is vital to ensure that if I fit a Magnefine filter, it is installed with the flow going in the correct direction.
Thanks in advance
