Oil filter options for 15k oci

[MoparDak05]

I've been lurking for a quite a while and I finally have a legitimate question.

I have a 2001 Honda Accord 2.3l with about 138k miles on it. It uses very little oil (maybe 1/4 quart every 5k miles). I drive approximately 70-100 miles a day with about 75% of my average driving being highway.

I plan on doing a trial with Amsoil SSO 0w-30 with a 15k oci. After which, I will be doing a UOA.

My question is, for a 15k OCI, is there any alternative oil filter to Amsoil's Ea oil filter? I do not have anything against them, seeing as I have never used one. But they are a little on the expensive side and I'm a college student trying to save as much money as possible. I attempt to accomplish this by small savings here and there in hopes that they will add up.

All input is welcome. Thanks in advance!

If you have a Pep Boys near you they have Royal Purple oil filters, they might be a few bucks less than Amsoil

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately the closest Pepboys is about 30 miles away.

Any savings I might get would probably get eaten away by fuel usage.

Possibly a Fram XtendedGuard the 10 dollar gold can, or KandN/Mobil one filter.

I was leaning toward Mobil 1, but i wanted to consider all options. I would save about 4-5 bucks, plus no shipping. I just wanted to be sure they could stand up well to a 15k OCI with no issues. As I believe to have read on BITOG though, Hondas do not appear to be very hard on oil/filters anyway. Thanks for the reply!

your welcome and welcome to the site

Mobil 1, K&N, Fram Extended Guard or a Purolator PureONE.

Mobil 1, Fram XG and most likely Bosch/Purolator Pure 1

have u tried looking up for a heavy duty oil filters such as Donaldson, Baldwin/Hastings and Luberfiner?

 

[MoparDak05]

PureOne is a filter I'm completely comfortable with for some reason. I run them on my Dakota, but not for extended OCI's. I was under the impression, after doing some reading, that they would not be sufficient for extended drains. Maybe I stumbled upon someone's opinion and didn't realize it.

No, I'm afraid I have not. I barely knew they existed. I've seen those names listed though. I'd have to look at the pricing/change interval on them. If it comes out cheaper, even in the long run, why not? After a UOA, I may go longer on OCIs if it comes backs reasonable.

maybe i'm stating the obvious, but if you're on a budget, and looking to get that 15K OCI, then spend the extra few bucks on the EAO filter

... and consider that oil and filter money well spent

WHY?

 

[Herz]

in theory he can run a NAPA gold filter that costs 7 bucks for 15k OCI. Or even a non-ecore AcDelco

My point was to find a filter that would be just as sufficient for a 15k oci as an Amsoil filter, just cheaper in cost. I realize that the EAO filters are excellent filters meant to go even longer than 15k, but it seem to be a bit overkill for a 15k OCI on a Honda. I understand that it would be money well spent, but how about less money well spent with no change in efficiency at a 15k OCI. :smile:

Why don't I run them for extended OCI's?

The truck is under warranty, so I can't test it on that. Plus, exactly what I said, I read they wouldn't be good for it but it was a probably just a random opinion. I read this forum so much, everything begins to run together.

Why do I feel comfortable with it?

I've read they are a great filter. (I just wasn't sure about extended intervals) and it's the same concept as someone having a favorite oil, they just do.

+1 with Bosch Premium. Just depends on how much you want to spend. And, a Pure One would be fine for an extended OCI. I'm currently running one on my 07 Accord 3.0L with QS Horsepower and plan on taking it to 5-10% of the OLM or one year. Honda's are pretty easy on oil, and even recommend a filter change every other OCI. Any of the above will work.

Haha! I don't even drink though. I can't afford it!

If it is perfectly fine to use a PureONE on a 15k OCI, then I will not hesitate to use one. They're very affordable compared to the EAO filter and I already run them on my truck. Thanks!

1 - Royal Purple ( $14.99 at PepBoys Part# 10-2808 ). This filter would be ideal for what you want. I know, 30 miles away, but other stores are supposed to start selling them this month or if you are over that way grab a couple while there.

2 - Mobil 1

3 - K&N

I've never been in that area in my entire life, that I can recall. Haha! But, If I see them in another store nearby, I probably won't hesitate to give it a shot. I'll give it a try with the PureONE first. After the UOA, if there are any issues, I may switch to the Royal Purple to see if I obtain better results. Thank you!
