Let's face it... NSX oil filter selection sucks

[BATMANs]

All the later model cars have way more options like the very best oil filters from Bosch, Mobil 1, Fram, Puralator, etc.

It would be great if there is an oil filter adapter that allows us to run these newer filters.

Does such a thing exist?

remote filter plate. yes has hoses and fittings now but open up your filter options hugely.

 

[BATMANs]

Anyone on here do this?

The OEM filter works just fine, no need to worry about aftermarket brands. Except for those who spend all their time looking for things to complain about, and are scraping the bottom of their grievance barrel... :tongue:

Yeah serious!
And btw, the cabin filter selection for the NSX sucks too! :tongue:

For God's sake, you guys are whining about oil filters when the original "tall" NSX filter is still available here?

I am currently running the Nippon "big" filter. Napa carries them. Although for some reason the box say ULTR-8. Part no. 361-2905.
If anyone has negative input on the Nippon, nows the time to chime in please.

I actually have been using this one too. I did a cross section cut and disassemble of one http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...r-oil-filter-Dissection?p=1640782#post1640782 and found it to be pretty solid.

I agree that this is a lame thread....

FYI.. I bought 2 1/2 cases of the tall oil filters from Acura a couple of years ago, so I'm set for another 23 years.

I'm not sure how you would say it sucks - just a quick RockAuto.com search yields about 10 different brands of filters ranging from under $2 to about $8 each...

I know of late I've been shocked to read about the plethora of NSX engine failures due to poor oil filter selection.
This poor selection has clearly reduced engine life from 300 K miles to only 298 K miles.
Shocking news! :biggrin:

I'm more interested in MPE and SPE numbers.

The higher the % the better they filter.

I've yet to see anything from an OEM oil filter company to show the numbers. Most, if not all OEM oil filter media is "traditional"...... nothing special.
