hey, im going to bring my car for an oil change(not synthetic). im thinking of using Mobil 1 5w30, and whats a good filter? are filter and oil all the same?

 

Uh... you do realize that Mobil 1 is synthetic oil...

 

oh is it.My Bad. i was reading online and it was saying mobil 1. so whats a good non synthetic? or is it all the same?

 

I don't know much about non-synthetic brands. Any time I've gotten an oil change with regular oil I just take whatever the place changing it gives me. In the case of my motorcycle (changing it myself), whatever was on the shelf at Advance Auto. Actually I think I ended up using a non-synthetic Mobil motorcycle oil for that.

However, I am curious as to why you seem to have an aversion towards synthetic oil. Everyone has their preference, just wondering what the reason is.

 

you can use the green Hamp filters or the blue OEM Honda ones....

 

I use Mobil 1 filter and oil :-)

Never used the HAMP but I see em on eBay and what not. You can buy those in bulk or any decent oil filter at your local auto store should do the trick.

 

I use the blue OEM Honda ones - made by Toyo Roki in Japan. I believe it's the S2000 filter but I might be wrong -- I bought about 8 of them a few years ago so it's been a while since I've actually looked into this (I just grab one off of the shelf and install it, I don't look at it too hard each time).

Go with a good synthetic (Pennzoil Platinum is a great synthetic oil that isn't too expensive at all), and a decent filter.

 

My favorite is NAPA Gold for the TSX. But I use ACDelco in my GM vehicles.

 

Mobil 1 makes filter and both synthetic and non synthetic oils. I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil and filter. they seem to work fine. of course u could purchase a $40 Mugen filter if u want....

 

I usually use K&N's filter. It has a 1" nut on the bottom of it so removal is pretty easy if you have a 1" socket or wrench.

 

I use the K&N filter also everytime.

 

can you just use any oil filter for synthetic oil or do you have to have the ones made just for synthetic

 

You can use any filter, I'm using the Hamp filter with Castrol synthetic oil.

 

i'm using castrol synthetic with a K&N filter.
About how much did you guys pay for the quarts and filter? I paid around $24-25 for one set at autozone

 

you can use the mobile one filter with regular dyno oil, If not honda filter from that stamp made in japan are good.

Check this site out gives review for oil filters

I've used Wix and Mobil 1 filters.

 

Royal Purple 5w30 and Mobil 1 high performance oil filter

 

mobil 1 synth and the mobil 1 filter for it here.

 

i use the k&n filter, but from what i've read i believe the mfg of my filter is the same as mobil 1. therefore, since mobil1 filter is a tiny bit cheaper ... MOBIL 1 FILTER FTW

 

purolator Premium Plus + mobil/castrol synthetic 0w-30 oil

 

I use Mobil 1 oil and filters; always have since I bought the car @ 23k miles, curently @ 46k. M1 gets my thumbs up

 

You are going to have 100 different opinions, OEM is good, mobil 1 is good, i use purolator pure one, 2 for $10 cheap enough. For those like Mobil 1, the Purolator got 99.9% filtration on ISO test.

 

Purolator Pureone, can't beat this filter for $5-$6.

99.9% filteration rate, which is higher than the Mobil 1 filter.

I use baldwin filters and Penzoil Platnium

 

K&N 1010 filter and RP 5/30 oil.

 

i have always used NAPA Gold. Great filters. I'm not a fan of Mobil Oil because of the company. I won't purchase their products.

 

lol not even if you're on your last drop of gas and the closest gas station for 10 miles is mobil??????

 

napa gold oil filters for me.

any 100% synthetic oil i can get my hands on at the cheapest price.

 

Does the OEM Honda S2000 Filter work on the TSX? I've got an S2K and just picked up a TSX. Someone up there ^ said they think they may be the same? Anyone know for sure?

 

TSX OEM filter - 15400-PLM-A01 (or -A02)
S2000 new OEM filter - 15400-PCX-004

The new S2000 filter looks small height wise, but wide.

 

Purolator Pureone +1

 

Is there any actual backing of this vs the mobil 1 filter? cause the mobil 1 says its fro 2 times the normal protection time

 

I read a filter comparison article long time ago, they compared with K&N, M1...,concluded pureone is best for quality/money.

 

The S2000 filter does work. In fact, I am using it right now. It is much bigger wider than the TSX filter as was mentioned with more fins to capture dirt.
