what all is everyone using? i just read fram oil filters are **** and will fall apart into your engine, and that's what was put on mine when i got the oil changed, so i was wonderin what filter i should use that wont kill my car

 

OEM. Simple.

 

Like the man said above "Mazda" is the funk as well as fuel filters.

 

im using a mobli1 filter from kragen

 

well if you read it, it MUST be true!

 

yes, FRAM filters suck. I took one apart to verify what i read online, and they really do have a shoddy valve and cheap media.

I use NAPA filters. They are rebadged filters from some of the bigger name places, just like NAPA oil is actually pennzoil. They are cheap and work well and easy to find, what more could you want?

 

Yea there was a thread on this and the oem was found to be one of the best.

 

OEM is teh best!

I regret to say that I have a fram POS on my TII right now,

 

$12.99 5 quart + fram oil change special at Autozone? That's what I did. Got my same oil (Castrol 20-w50 GTX Non-synth) but the negative was that you had to get the crappy filter. I feel bad for putting such crap on an otherwise semi-decent car...but whateva'. One fram won't kill it.

 

I bought a case of the Honda filters. They fit my 2 Odysseys, my '88 'Vert, my Maxima. Works out to $5+ per filter.

 

Mazda or Nippon (since nippon is owm for Mazda)

 

I only use K&N Gold oil filter # HP1004, fits both my 2001 Honda Accord and 1991 FC.

 

From what I read FRAM aka Quakerstate aka Penzoil are the bad ones. The rest are all good. For a premo filter get PureOne, Mobil 1 or AMSoil. All 3 have excellent filtration. The PureOne is a bit restrictive. The AMSoil filter can last a very long time.

I got a bulk deal on Nippon Oil Filters (Mazda OEM source). ~$2-$3 a pop. So I use those. Still got 10 or so left.

 

Wix ftw!

 

you do know that honeywell makes honda filters as well as FRAM right?

 

And??? If it is good enough for the S2000 and the NSX, it is good enough for me.

 

AMSOIL filter.

The very first time this NSX driver used a FRAM filter it blew. Took only 20 minutes of spirited driving, immediately after the oil change.

 

Allied Signal, Inc makes Fram filters, which is now a Division of Honeywell.

 

I usually use PureOne, but I've been known to use Bosch.... When I remember to pre-order, I get OEM.
