I run the NAPA filters that are essentially the same as the old OEM tall filters.
DOes anyone know why an OEM filter is better
I look for construction materials and MPE and SPE ratings.
AFter market ones are posting MPE of 99 percent.

Let's skip an answer to that and the subsequent pseudo technical beat down.
Cut to the chase so you can tell everyone what you think is best
You know you want to.:biggrin:
bwhahaha Joe, you're killing me. To start the pseudo technical beat down, I'll say a Denso 150-1013 if for no other reason than I received 5 of them today.
Let the chest-thumping begin.

Why are there so many threads about which oil and filter to use. If you use a brand name and change every 3K it doesn't matter which you use.

I use OEM filters. If an aftermarket filter is more expensive I figure why pay extra? I have seen s2000 engines torn down after a 100K + mile diet of 9000 RPM upshifts running quality oil and oem filters changed at recommended intervals. The internals look almost brand new. The cars did not burn oil which means rings, cylinder walls, valve guides, etc. were all fine. Other filters may outperform OEM filters in lab settings but in the real world I believe they are overkill. If my engine was boosted, I might consider "better" aftermarket filters.
Of course this is only my opinion. :biggrin:

Why? I have used them for over 30 years with 1 vehicle with 220K and 3 others with over 100K. The only reason I use the oem on the NSX is that the local Acura dealer hosts our monthly meets so I buy all parts including oil filters from them to show my support or I'd be using Fram on it also.
That could happen with any brand oil filter.
I remember reading about that and don't recall any details on if the oil was installed properly and anything in between with regards to human error.
I won't use teh Fram Orang color ones since they have the lowest MPE and SPE ratings.
There aren't too many aftermarket filter options for the NSX. So far the best one that I found is the Puralator Classic rated at a 97.5% MPE.
just go to an Acura dealer and get your filter (My Honda dealer gets mine).Most people here do their oil changes on time, Honda,denso, AC ,napa ,( wix , invented the spin on) are all quality products . When Istarted in the auto trade there were still a lot of canister oil filter ( puro 141 for Chevys),you always cranked down on the housing bolt ,started and checked for leaks.Then the spin on became the norm,but another problem surfaced , mechanics would over tighten them and you could not remove them (no body trusted the instructions).Now the manufactures have built a torque limiter into the housing ,you can only get so much crush on the sealing ring.Heres where the difference is , that i see Honda uses a soft flanged o-ring that actually spins in the housing , puro ,napa &fram use a much harder Quad ring seal (square cut ) . As far as the filter media ,theyre all good.Me I just use the Honda filter how about you Pbasso?:
Yes there important but they were designed for filters mounted horizontal,ours are vertical. Manu. Put them in to cover a broader application ,they can't hurt.
