I just recieved oil filters in the mail for my 6 cylinder 2004 Pilot, my 4 cylinder 1998 and 2000 Accords. They are all the same. I checked the web site for the part number for the TL and that is the same also. It is a very small filter. Is Honda changing every vehicle over to this tiny filter?

Where did you get them from and what was the part number you got?

This one is in Garage, too.

Yeah the filter number noted in the pictures are the ones I am referring to.

buy WIX and it won't look like the Honda filters, won't even have the same part # . you can get a longer WIX for larger filtering capacity.

Pretty much. Just about all of the 6 cylinder (and some of the 4 cylinder) models use the same filter (Amsoil part # SDF20). The SDF13 is for most of the 4 cylinder engines. That's pretty much it for Honda/Acura (of course the NSX uses yet a different model filter...).

I'm sure it's cheaper to maintain inventory on just two filter types as opposed to 5 or 6.
