I bought a rear iron for a S5 na that was off a motor that had lost a front apex seal. It had a STP s2808 oil filter on it. Thats the oil filter I used to use in my 87 accord. Is that a universal oil filter? I know I wont be reusing it or anything. I just wanted to know if having that filter on is what blew his motor because it looked like a brand new filter inside.

If it lost a apex seal.. I high dout it would be from the oil filter.. could be OMP failure though.. that or just old age..

I was thinking that if it was the wrong oil filter maybe it blocked the oil system. I called autozone to see what stp oil filter was used on s4 and s5 na motors and they said s2808 is used on both as well as an 87 accord. I use dealer ones anyway but if your not going to use oem use the numbers Icemark posted and never trust the auto zone guy

I have used Honda filters on my car before and never had a problem

Yep, some of the aftermarket oil filters cross reference over to Honda applications.
I think the old Fram PH3593A oil filter also fit on some of the Hondas.

No big surprise since I think the majority of Japanese aumobiles use one of two thread sizes for oil filters.
