Mugen Oil Filter

[hk20]

Just seen this, these are surely a good choice for Honda owners but shame about the price tag

Has anyone had any experience with these filters?

too expensive for what you are getting.

27 dollars????

Yeah get the OEM Filtech from HandAAccessories.com for 5 bucks!

Filtech much better than the Fram OEM in build quality.

Oops I should have searched harder

In the UK honda charge $16 for their filter. It's made by Purflux in France, they seem good quality o-ring gasket and orange adbv but I don't like the thought of putting Peugeot parts on my Honda.
I think i'll stick to the Japanese Nippon Micro filter for $9 anyone seen these? Pretty good value for a quality filter.

Where do you get those filters?

Congratulations! Seotaji wins the Understatement of the Day Award.

One of the pervasive lessons to be drawn, IMO, from our own UOA section is that while there may be some differences between the performance of different oil filters, that difference is just not that significant. With that in mind, I'm going to be hard pressed to believe that this filter offers triple the value of the M1, K&N, Purolator, etc.

You can get them from most independent motor factors and parts stores. Normally special order though here is a list of part number and cross references I found. I'll post some close up pics later but here's an idea on what they look like.
