The Honda Oil Filter Thread

So, just went through a bunch of posts after my old stock of fram xg7317 ran out and noticed the new one is completely different. My local parts stores filters from various brands are all identical to the new Fram xg construction so moving on from those. Saw the issue with amsoils filters recently as well.

So like mentioned run the oem A02 or A03 if I can source it? or run the PG4612ex? Kinda lost on what to throw on now
The PG is a fine choice or if you shop at Advance it’s Carquest Premium, OReillys it’s Microgard Select(these are all PGI made). If Walmart is your preference the new Mobil 1 filter is a great option now.
 
At times I think about this and think it matters, but I doubt it does.... Nissan uses a 6607 on every engine unless it's in an SUV, truck, or van and that's obviously only for space/clearance reasons (same engine in a car uses a 6607, but in an SUV it uses a 7317). Last time I needed a Honda filter, I went to Walmart and discovered like you that they got rid of their 7317 and have substituted the 6607. I bought the 6607, used it, and it will be fine....
The 6607 is a teacup like the 7712. IMO I’d never run a filter that small longer than 5k miles even if it is a high-efficiency filter. Almost always, depending on protection from the engine/frame, a larger filter is always a benefit. Slower flow through the media will always result in higher relative filter efficiency.
 
Well now, this is how I like it. 160sq in of media that’s 99% at 20 micron, designed for high flow, well-made in Korea and $56 a case, shipped!!

So a Honda Pilot running full syn with over 300k miles(estimated, someone changed the cluster before I bought it)shows 200k should be fine with Microguard Select for 4k intervals? Vehicle IS short tripped if that matters

A pilot with 300,000 miles in Vegas I wouldn't be running the 0w-20 .
 
Question on the pentius/ pg and even the old fram xg series. My Civic spends a few weekends at track events its just a stock k24z nothing special, wondering at high rpm would these filters go into by pass?
Should I look at a mid grade option like say the purolator one with less filtering ability and im assuming with that more flow?

The One has their best stated rating on the website. See rating at the bottom. You could buy a Toyo Roki it should have little restriction due to the air gaps in the media.

If your oil is at operating temperature then I wouldn't worry about any of those oil filters going into bypass. What oil viscosity are you running?

Except the M+H spec sheet shows 99% @ 25u for the PL30001. So like the Boss once showed, the Purolator website doesn't match the spec sheet. The M+H Pres should have had them also update the website like they did for the Boss. Still not a bad efficiency. Some PureOne filters are 99% @ 30u or 40u per spec sheets.
