Honda 15400-RTA-003 (factory filter) off of my 2020 Honda Civic K20C2. No tears present, and all pleats are straight. ADBV was very pliable, no cuts. Filter media was not as soft as new (as expected) but did not fall apart or crumble. End caps on good and did not fall off. No excessive glue...

Recently picked up a M1-110A. It is a new design (has been discussed recently on here), and to me appears to be made by Purolator. The louvers look good and are open. With purolators having a history of tearing, should I trust it? Either way I plan on running it ~20k miles, or 2x OCI, or putting...

I am debating over using either Maxlife ATF or the Valvoline Import ATF in a 2008 W4A5A 4-speed mitsubishi transmission. Both fluids contain SP-III certification. I know that Maxlife ATF is great fluid, but i like the idea of the Import being a little bit thicker (or the Maxlife is pretty thin...

I recently picked up a new Civic with the 2.0L NA direct injected motor. Right now it's still on the FF/break-in stage with about 2,000 miles on it but being a member of BITOG, I'm already thinking about what oil and duration I want to run regularly in it. Honda recommends to run the FF out to...

Mods move this to the HDEO section if this is the wrong forum for this question. From my understanding, the old Rotella had a dual rating, and with the latest mixes, they removed the SM/SN rating. Is the new Rotella this still safe to use with a catalytic converter vehicle? Some theories are...

Hopefully this is the correct area to start this thread. I have a 2007 Honda CR-V 2.4L. I recently did an oil change, and Walmart says the correct filter for this car is the ST6607. It has the correct thread pitch/size and gasket, so I used it. Meanwhile, the Frams (7317) and OEM Honda filters...
