Oil filter K&N or OEM Honda

I always go OEM for filters and fluids, brakes. other parts are OK. Cabin air filter I made a mistake and bought on Amazon, it had a weird smell to the filter after letting it run, OEM come packaged in sealed plastic so no manufacturer offgassing. Oil filters I always go OEM. Mainly becahse the last thing you want is a piece of dirt inside a boxed oil filter (no plastic) such as Fram or Purolator. Honda oil filters come wrapped in plastic, inside a box. If you go oem for the oil filter, never stick your finger in the hole to open it, always twist the plastic away, such as stick a screw driver/pin through the top of the filter and peel downwards. At my dealer it's happened where a tech would open it by shoving their finger in the bottom and a tiny tiny piece of plastic would clog one of the oil ports inside the engine block starving the head of oil entirly

Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).

What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.

I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.

Personally i use these:

Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N

And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.

Mechanic said he'd replace the oil filter, maybe sometimes that problem is caused by non Honda oil filters. I said ok.

Lo and behold, the CC drifting problem is gone, but fuel efficiency is down to about 24 highway. No limp mode or other problems.

Yeah P0740 is the writing on the wall that the tc is on the way out. However, I'd try a couple things before throwing in the towel. Firstly, changing all the fluid out and replacing the filter is a start.

I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.

Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.

K&N filter is not as good as OE and just about expensive.
