The Honda Oil Filter Thread

Ok thanks. Are these a “premium guard” variant? Or something else?

That's my understanding. The difference is the Pentius is made in South Korea vs Premium Guard mostly in Vietnam.

Ok so I can get a 12 pack of the Pentius PLXL7317 for $87 CAD on Amazon.

I haven’t seen any of the ratings for that filter or the Honda “003” made in Japan filters but am I safe to assume the 7317s are better? The C&Ps I’ve seen on here look great.

I want to buy one of these 12 packs of Pentius PLXL7317, but will my car last that long, and/or will I buy another Honda that would be compatible with my stack of filters (taking things in reverse)? Price for just one filter isn't good here.

I had the same internal debate, and decided I'd rather have too many than not having one when it was needed. At just under $5/filter, and filters having a long shelf life, I mashed the Buy button.

It's my understanding Honda hasn't changed their filter fitment (maybe a part number and build, but all are compatible?) for many years. Their filters are the same for all Honda models except for the S2000, and there are other brands using this filter, also.
