Mighty T4612 C&P

[Mewbs]

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...

nice what oil and filter went back in and on? Thank You

I think this is what Jiffy Lube is using now.

Gave her the full care package...

Nice oil filter.

Air and cabin filter needed replacement.

 

[Glenda W.]

Thanks! Looks like a jobber filter.

 

[fantastic]

Yeah that air filter had some chunks! Mighty probably 3-5k interval filter but metal endcaps good.

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.

Thread '2019 HRV with R18z engine and 30 weight oil?'

Jun 9, 2023

I've got a 2019 Honda HRV with the R18z 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. I've found both the US and UK owners manuals and have included snippets of the oil weight recommendations of each. The US manual calls for 0W-20 and only 0W-20. The UK manual states that 0W-20, 0W-30, and 5W-30 can be used, depending on ambient temperature. My question is whether or not the US engine and the UK engine are identical? If so, is there any reason I can't use a 30 weight oil when inside of the correct ambient temp parameters? I know that many state that 0W-20 oils ore only recommended by manufacturers due...

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.

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.

Zero proof ... only internet rumors and misconceptions that spread by the uninformed.

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.

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.....

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.
