Fram whatever or Honda oil filters?

[JeffKeryk]

I service 3 TSX K24, 1 '15 Oddy EX-L, 1 '98 Accord 2.3 and a '15 Altima. They all use the 7317 style filter.
I use a MityVac and run filters for 2 OCIs. About 5K intervals... Rarely over 6K. Say 9K to 13K on a single filter.
My stash is running low, 3 or 4 XG7317 and 2 M1 110A. Maybe the odd smaller Altima style...

Orange can PH7317 $3.88
TG7317 $6.93
XG7317 $8.97
Honda A02, $6.90 ($69 for a case of 10)
Wix 57356 $6.70 ($67 for a case of 10) I used to run Wix on everything...

Considering the A02, for whatever reason.
Your thoughts? And is the PH7317 the same as the A02?

Thanks in advance!

Tough Guard will be the best bang for your buck and fit the mileage criteria. Orange can may do too little and the Ultra is not worth paying extra for.

I can't use or recommend Frame anymore.

The A02 is basically a PH7317 so get the orange can and save $3

Orange can. The Honda filter is exactly like the orange can except it has an oval base gasket, blue paint, and no grip.

I still believe that the Honda dealer(BLUE-A02) filter is the FRAM Tough Guard(SILVER) and the Honda factory(OEM-A01) comes from FILTECH.

I would go for the orange can for a 6k run, 95% efficiency versus 99% of the Tough Guard is not worth the extra $3 to me and I doubt would make the engine last any longer. If you are going to run longer than 6k, Tough Guard would be my choice.

I would run the orange can. With the MityVac and 5K intervals and a new oil filter every other oil change, your engines will outlast everything else on the car. I run basically the same scenario on my Civic and it's still running perfect with over 118,000 miles. I use zero oil between 5K changes and the MityVac with an oil filter every other oil change. I usually run the SuperTec filters from Walmart on the Civic.

If I was going multiple intervals, I would go Tough Guard at minimum, maybe even consider Royal Purple if the budget allows it. The A02 doesn't really seem any better than the EG, and too many WIx problems to go that way. Even Pure One/Purolator One would be a contender for me.

Well my last three Honda all had over 250000 on them with the last at 386000...Used FRAM on all of them so I would say Fram whatever....I do use the tuff guard or the extended if it is a good price...

I use the Asian made Microgard Select from O'Reilly for my Accord.

 

[jeepman3071]

I buy the Honda filters in bulk now for my family's vehicles. They have been doing well, that is a decent deal for 10 of them.

 

[gregk24]

A02, Tough Guard or Ultra. All solid choices.

I use the Asian made Microgard Select from O'Reilly for my Accord.

How's that been going? Any viable feedback on that so far?
