AutoZone or whatever local auto parts shop near you has them. Ask someone for the proper part number.

I use Bosch, that 3312.
K&N is 1004 I believe.

Wal-Marts at least have Frams if you are in a pinch.

Pep Boys, ORilley, etc. There are some regional ones Texas doesn't have.

Some hardware stores have automotive parts.

Otherwise you're better off ordering online.

Thats right Honda filters are made by Fram now. They are slightly better than the Orange can in build but I still don't trust them. If the Honda filter says "Made in Canada" they are exactly the same as a Orange Fram except in Honda Blue.

I can't be sure of where the filter is made when I take it to the dealer so I bring my own K&N 1004 oil filter and Mobil 1 5w-30. Built like a tank and slightly larger than stock. Synthetic fiber filter insures greater consistence in the filter and filters down to 10-20 microns. Stock filters filter to 20-30 microns. Mobil 1 is smoother in my car (I think so anyways) than Castrol GTX.

Heres a link of dissected filters. Check out the different Frams, the Honda USA, Honda Canada and the K&N filters. Its interesting to see.

True, all filters do the same thing and any will do, but with that generalization you can say a car is a car. A Geo will be the same as a TL-S. They both drive and move.

Getting a good filter is nice cuz I want to provide better filtering of particles in my engine and good oil gives better protection. Only good stuff for my baby.
