This was pulled from the 2019 Honda HRV yesterday, mistook it as a service champ filter on first glance until I had time to get a gander on her. Not the best looking oil filter, louvers are in pretty bad shape. Glad I pulled it out as the car was recently purchased by a family member and just me doing all of precaution service to get proper road ready. Filter is made in Mexico, as expected bottom of the barrel stuff you can put on any vehicle.

I'll try to measure the bypass spring opening force later on, its pretty stiff on the fingers...

Why are you putting 5W30 in a car that requires 0W20? Honda's VTEC is driven by oil pressure and the wrong weight oil can cause havoc with the operation of that system. As for the filter, Mighty sells to many "chain" service centers as well as "mom & pops" shops. They cost around $2 each. I sell a similar Carquest filter that is slightly higher quality, for about $3 each when purchased by the case. Also, rather than pointless filter decapitations, REAL scientific results can be found on You Tube, Brand Ranks and The Motor Oil Geek.

Whew now some random internet loser comes bumping up a dead thread to lecture his dumb down American owner's manual oil specifications pretending to be some Honda engine expert over worry that anything higher than 20 weight oil is gonna blow up the engine. Its quite entertaining some brain dead youtube consumer makes an account at BITOG comes knocking in a the oil filter section of the forums to project himself to prove a point to something unreleated to the topic.



The rest of the world doesn't care about CAFE, Just because engine in the states are locked into low viscosity oil in the owner's manual due to government regulations and fuel economy doesn't mean the rest of the world follows. There is likely some Australian at the far side of the earth running 15W-40 in his or her R18Z9 engine that lives in the middle of the desert.

REAL scientific results can be found on You Tube, Brand Ranks and The Motor Oil Geek.

When did they become such an authority of science over testing standards and control practice? They've made their disclaimer that they're not ISO 4548-12 compliant in their testing in the get go. Their method of control and presenting results is absolutely terrible which has been beaten to dead horse in other topics already.

YouTube educated I see…..

To bad because out of your whole paragraph of nonsense you had one sentence of fantastic information. “I sell a similar Carquest filter that is slightly higher quality, for about $3 each when purchased by the case.”

I actually laughed out loud. You should be posting in the "tool" forum.....
 
Lets not forget that condescending sentence before that. What on earth is this guy doing in a forum dedicated to motor oil to drop such a brain dead comment.

"Also, rather than pointless filter decapitations"
I only see an opinion, not one that I agree with, but it’s theirs. I like filter cut opens, and every Friday go to whip city. I don’t care if he thinks it’s pointless.
 
Great work! Makes you feel like your car is new afterwards. Plus 1 for the flooded battery in the background.
