The PureOne didn't fare to well in Bob's oil pressure test. It had the largest drop off in pressure. I don't kno but I can feel the difference in the engine sound and revs

Yes, I would recommend the K&N. They are a bit pricey but well worth it. It has probably the best mix of flow and filtration. If you can locate HAMP (Honda Aftermarket Performance) filter from Japan, use those but the K&N is easy to get at Canadian tire or Partsource.

I took the PureOne out and put my usual K&N back tonight. The engine feel more free with it back in. Only 300 kms on the PureOne so hopefully it didn't result in any extra wear. We'll see in my next UOA. Anything above 4000 rpm and both oil filters will give 600kPa, which is near 87psi I...

Yes, I wouldn't use the domestic Honda filter. I'll stick with what has been working. If I really wanted to do a test I would keep the PureOne on and do a UOA on it to see how it compares against the K&N. However, I am not going to take that chance. 31ppm of Al, is too much of a risk for me...

Here is his analysis numbers. Mobil 1 10W 30 with PureOne filter Vortech S/C and Vortech Air filter. His Silicon number would probably result from him resealing his oilpan when he had to take it off to tap a oil return line for the S/C. Sample No WC-616213 Sample Date 8/12/2003 Unit Age...

I've always used K&N oil filters and my UOAs shows good wear numbers. When I did my last oil change I used a Puralator PureOne filer, known for its filtration rather than flow since I didn't have a K&N on hand. My friend who has the same car (Honda S2000) has a S/C on his car and uses the...

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I use a K&N oil filter. A buddy of mine has a Supercharged S2000 and his wear numbers are near mine except for aluminum. It is near 30ppm, a bit high but his Mobil 1 10W 30 thinned to near be 5W30 or even thinner. However, he used a Puralator PureOne filter...

Yes, 1 Litre of top up oil. The F20C engine likes to drink oil

What is the GF-4 formulation? My other results had similar numbers for B, Ca and P.

This is the best wear numbers to date. 4000kms on the oil short trips on the weekdays and longer trips on the weekend. Summer conditions. I even found a rip in my air filter that occured for about a day or so. Sample Date 8/17/2003 Unit Age 25600k Time on Fluid 4000k Time on Filter 4000k...

I got my oil analysis results back and all is normal. Actually, the numbers are the lowest wear and silicon out of my 3 samples. 9ppm Iron 7ppm Aluminum 6ppm Silicon. I'll post the whole analysis in the UOA section. I guess I only had that rip for a short period and it was on the bottom not...

It was an OEM paper cone filter. I have no idea why it ripped but perhaps in my handling it ripped a small part of the fins on the base and thats what did it. I am usually careful so I am still not sure.

Thanks, an oil change will do. I'll know how much dirt got in since I'll have an oil analysis afterwards. Good to see another Calgarian on here =)

After a 600km drive on the highway today I did a post trip inspection and found that my air filter developed a rip in it. The hole was large since it was near the base of the cone where the filter media was attached. It wasn't there a couple days ago when I inspected it so it was recent. I plan...

Bror, the track day was a performance driving school day actually, half the day was car handling on an autocross type circuit and the other half on a road course. 6 - 20 minute sessions, ran it decently hard but not all out baggin' it.
