Just wondering if the an oil filter size will make a difference? I am going from a Honda OEM filter (I ran out of the A01)to a Denso 150-1006. I noticed the Denso is a bit larger than the Honda filter, will this make any difference? It's for a '96 Civic LX. Thanks.

In theory, the longer filter ought to have the same anti drainback device and bypass setting as the smaller one to be an acceptable replacement. Toyota back specified the longer (Puro number) 14477 viz the 14476 some years ago. The 77 was the OEM for later engines.
Opinions vary but many people say if the other specs are OK it can't hurt. I find the 77 easier to grip when removing.

I have used both the A02 (same size as A01) and Denso on my 1997 Accord, did not make any difference. You'll be fine.
I assume it cross references to the OEM?
If so you are fine.

Larger filter should allow the oil a little more time to get through the media.

Why? I believe you got it backward... If the ADBV is working properly, there is no different regardless filter size. Since larger filter has larger filtration area, it actually reduces the chance of bypass valve opening during cold starts.

If you've been running an "A01" on a 96 Civic LX, technically you haven't been running the spec size for that Honda year model. The spec size is the 3593A/14459/51334 which are the equivalent spec to the Denso 150-1006 you're asking about. So you are going to a somewhat larger filter but it is the 'spec' size on that year model.
The A01, A02 are the 7317/14610/57356 equivalents which Honda went to on most 01-02 to current Hondas. No biggie that you've been using that size, just that it's not technically the spec size.
So to answer your question, no worries using said Denso 150-1006.

Bigger holds more dirt, smaller plugs the holes faster (in a conventional media filter) leading to higher efficiency. I like the concept of a bigger syn media filter myself, best of both worlds. Not touching the three posters above...

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know that. I just used the filters the dealership gave me when I asked for my specific vehicle.

No problem. Ironically with an 01 Civic purchased new and still in the family, the Honda dealer used to provide the wider Honda filter that is spec for your vehicle. They hadn't gotten in enough of the then brand new spec A01/02, 7317/14610 size so they used the pre 01 spec filters for awhile. And I've used that size since occasionally, in fact running a wider Napa Gold 1334 currently.

Isn't the standard spec filter capable of holding at least twice as much material as is expected during the manufacturer recommended oil change interval? Has anyone ever seen a filter plugged up that wasn't from an engine that suffered a catastrophic failure?
My point is, I don't think the extra media comes into play. Extra oil capacity yes.
