Oil filter Motorcraft or OEM Honda

Bought a dealer Sell Pack of 12 Motorcraft filters at Rockauto.

i do run the factory filters on the s2000 as they're cheap and very good quality.

I only use Honda oil filters. I would say the filter is far more important than what brand oil you use.

use the Honda oil filter

6 quarts of Castrol edge full synthetic 5w30 and Motorcraft fl400s

Make sure you get an oil that is dexos gen 2

I WAS using Subscribe and Save for Amazon Full Synthetic 5W-30 and Motorcraft FL-910S Filters, but they keep running out of stock

if you use the Ford/Motor raft FL400S, you can put all 6 qts in. Our engines benefit in some way or another from the bit of extra oil, iirc. Makes it easier than measuring out to get to the 5. whatever the stock filter size is

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

I've used the spec Motorcraft filter (820S), and Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic oil EVERY TIME. This truck has been an absolute beast, and dead nuts reliable.

The oil filter on my Civic. It's located behind the engine block, and the only problem is that my hands and arms are too big to reach it :(
