HAMP Oil Filter Truth?

[zmelli]

These so called Honda High performance oil filters that sell on ebay for $10-20 each may have been lower quality than the Blue OEM Filters all this time.

"Honda recently jumped into the arena by announcing that it would sell a second brand of inexpensive "genuine parts" under a new brand name called "HAMP" (Honda AfterMarket Parts)."

Back when I had my integra I bought a half dozen online for around 6 bucks each in 2007 or 2008, they are good filters and will serve you well, I used some on my hyundai also (my integra and XG350 used the same filter). With that said they aren't any better than most regular store bought filters IMHO, alot of hype and marketing to the JDM crowd,some guys In the JDM scene swear by them though. Not worth $10-$12. OEM Hyundai oil filters work great on honda/acura cars (may sound strange, but true) about $6 at a hyundai dealer.My $.02
