oil filter for civic

[Bulli]

i have a 2007 civic and i want to know what is a good oil filter for around 5-7 bucks. i was going to go with mobil 1 but with 2k oil change intervals i think that would be a waste. I have heard great things about Pure Ones.

 

[tsmay51]

Nothing wrong with pure ones.

i like the denso first time fit line

JMH

walmart supertech oil filter would work just fine for 2-5K intervals.

I use pure one's because i got them on sale but have used and do use supertech on my corolla no problems

 

[Bulli]

woops i meant to say 3k intervals. u heard the walmart ones supertech are made by champion labs which also make the m1 filter.

with 2K OCI's use the cheapest you can find like the AAP filters.

pay $15 for an Amsoil Eo filter and change it every 5th-6th oil change, cheaper in the long run

WIX 51356 for the Honda L4 1.8L 1751cc

+1 Wix

 

[Quest]

+1 to wallymart's Supertech.

I have stocked up on ST for dad's 7th gen civics to the point where it would literally outlasts his car, period. I'm doing roughly 5Kmiles changes now.

 

[Bulli]

are st's so good?

my top choices are Wix or pure one.
i heard pure one has beeter filtration

How about an OEM filter? And while you are at the dealership don't forget to pick up your oil drain plug washer.

 

[Bulli]

OEm blows currently. its a Ao2 and they arnt that good. the Ao1 were a ton better. Still will get the job done i guess but for the dealer price its s rip off IMO

 

[ThirdeYe]

2K OCI? Why? That's /way/ too short. I'd recommend using Havoline DS along with a Honda A01 filter (if you can find it) or a Napa filter.

yep, buy a case on ebay.

Real Filtech OEM

Or just screw on a EaO20 and leave it for a few changes.

Got room for a EaO44?

I totally agree!

Bulli ...first I really need to know what your annual mileage is. If it's 6k ..fine ..3k isn't a waste. If it's 9k ....hmmmm..well it is ...but not a GROSS waste. 10k+ ..global glutton of month club.


..but that said...once you tell your annual mileage, then the sensibility of a top tier filter can be assessed.

 

[Bulli]

i did 4500 miles from march 07 till novermber. Car is stored now plus i didnt drive to work for 2 months.
i would day around 10-12k miles a year

Ea0 if you want the finest level of filtration. Any filter will go that distance over that time frame without a loading issue,imo. In the cheaper filters the nitrile parts may get fatigued.
