Honda Filters arrived!

[Pablo]

I just got three 15400 Honda Genuine filters.

My goodness, do I know about shrinkage?

They just seem small....I know, I know....they'll work fine.

Anyone know what oil filter options exist for the 2006 Odyssey?

I could go with the EaO13 but I think that's smaller!

 

[TurboLuver]

Shrinkage?? were they in the pool?

Why you paid $6 for a FRAM Tough Guard filter with lamer media is really beyond me...

I thought better of you Pablo...

 

[Pablo]

Mike - get a life. You assume a lot. How do you know how much I paid?

And Honda puts the mark on it...so it must help with warranty issues!

 

[Mr Nice]

Doesn't Amsoil make oil filters for Honda ??

10 years from now a Honda oil filter will be the size of an aspirin bottle

 

[Pablo]

Yes, when I use these three FREE filters up I will use a EaO13......I guess I'm just used to having a FL1A in my hand......

I used one on my '03 Sonata V6 I had left over from my '96 Accord. Worked fine, no weird startup noises, didn't blow out. Good filter. Kinda hard to legitimize all the filter fanatics' wild-eyed ravings and flagellating around BITOG when American Honda has been quite satisfied with its choice of FRAM to manufacture their OEM oil filters for over a decade - even with the automaker's current 60,000 mile warranty at stake. (Of course, what the deuce does Honda know about engineering motors, anyway?

)

Pablo the filter from the S2000 will fit and is bigger and flows more oil. I know a few people using it and they seem to be happy and the price should be the same.

Unless they were free, most go for $6 online.

Which "15400" filter? If it's the 15400-PLM-A01 it's made by Filtech, if it's the 15400-PLM-A02 it is made by Fram. I purchased a bunch of the Filtech filters online for $4.88/each.

as andy said, not all honda filters are rebadged frams. some are made by filtech, and are pretty good filters. although i still cant bring myself to use them for my honda.. i hate the gasket style they use.

 

[Pablo]

As I stated, they were "free" so I'm not griping too much.

Indeed made by Honeywell as marked on the side, so bummer they aren't Filtech. That o-ring gasket didn't look so good to me either.....I kinda agree with Ray H, but after I use these up, it EaO13 for the Ody.

 

[noob]

I'm going to be using the EAO13 for my next oil change on my EP3.

 

[Pablo]

Cool NOOB - So no one has oversize suggestions?

 

[racer12306]

the ph3593a size should fit without a problem. i beleive that is the one used on the s2000's. it was used on pre-2001 hondas. i think 2001 was when they switched to the smaller filter.

Pablo,

The Purolator L-24458 can still be found....even though it was discontinued last year.

Alot of people have said they have seen the 24458 at Sears that have a Quick lube/tire shop/auto center.
