BLUE HONDA FILTER CUT OPEN

Another gem from SequiaSoon. Looks ok, felt endcaps too

Cool bypass spring. A BITOG debut?

Relic, nostalgia debut. That should be from my daughters CRV with one of @researcher's old stock Honda A01.

@53' Stude would need to confirm as I sent him the thinner/longer A01 and also a shorter/wider PCX-004.

I can give oil/vehicle details based on filter confirmation.

I’ll have to find the other long blue Honda filter. Hope I didn’t toss it out or mangle it other day.

Doesn't look like a Fram made Honda filter. End caps and leaf spring/bypass not like the Fram variants.

hey @Sequoiasoon How funny, I was just thinking about these oil filters wondering how they looked inside.. then..today, here's that post, awesome! Yup these are Filtech A01 Honda filters that today are only A02 (part number ending in) that's the fiber end caps. I had a stash of filtechs but since Project Civic isn't around anymore, sold them off. They've gone to a new home.

FILTECH are the "A01" filters. These are no longer available. Only the "A02" filters remain, and those are/were Fram based on C&Ps posted here on Bitog.

And yes for anyone who doesn't know.. there were 2 different suppliers to Honda's oil filters.. One was Filtech (part number ending in A01)and the other one was Fram/Honeywell (part ending in A02). The better filter in my mind was always the A01-Filtech supplied filter. Also, Filtech is the American division name of Roki of Toyo Roki Japan, that makes Subaru and I think Mazda's filters. You know, the really good quality filters.

Very good info sir. Thank You, very much appreciated.

Haven't seen a topic A01 in a very long time, in my observation pretty near extinct now. For OEM users it was much preferred over the now much more common A02. Looks fine. Be interesting to know its efficiency, I could speculate based on A02, but I won't.

There actually is another manufacturer of Honda OEM, the Mahle/Tennex 003.

Thanks for c&p.

Yes, I had to do a double take as I thought Fram stepped up their game for a second (lol)
