Im sure some of you know how Beck/Arnley pride them selves on mkaing after market parts exactly like the Factory.. Even there Honda Coolant is blue.. Well I have had some people tell me the Oil filter for them is just like the older / better 15400 PLM A01 aka Filtech Honda Oil filter... Well after some looking and reading this is what I found.

Also look on You tube how they show you how they buy real factory parts and tear them down and make them exactly the same.

Beck/Arnley Oil Filters Feature:

Anti-drain back valves with high heat silicone rubber and bypass valves, where applicable.
Sealing gaskets meet OE design, whether a rectangular, square, d-shape, or p-ring.
Strong steel housings with corrosion proofing.


So what do you think ???? Does it look like the Filtech?? Looks like it to me..
Has anyone here used this filter?
Im going to order 1 for the heck of it.. Its not that expensive.


 
In most cases,BA parts are the exact same parts as OEM,bought from OEM suppliers.Not necessarily copycats.

Yea but the real OEM Honda are now Frams Tough Gaurds without the metal screens..

They are basically a Honeywell FRAM.

The Older Honda Filters bassed on the Filtech model is considered to be much better.
 
Bought a Beck/Arnley from Rock for my Civic a few months ago. Made in Korea (so I don't think they are Filtech), but seems very heavy and solidly built.

Seems like a quality filter and a good deal for 4 bucks and change.

NO....they are not Fram Tough Guards--Fram Tough Guards filter at a much higher 99% efficiency at 20 mics, and are a much more efficient filter
