Oil filter OEM Honda or OEM Hyundai
Good ol Hyundai filters. Theyre relatively mess free
After the A01's ceased production I moved to Bosch and Wix filters.
I don't have it all figured out, but whatever my mechanic tends to install causes the engine to run louder. The A01 filters were much quieter, even than A02.
I've used the A02 filter many times, and got them in bulk from Amazon. They're good. When I buy from the dealer, I get a 003 instead -- fewer holes, and made by Tennex instead of Honeywell. I find it easier to get A02 on the aftermarket at a better price, so usually go with that.
I change my oil when the maintainance minder gets to 50% with 0w20 and a Honda filter and don't bother resetting it.
Ex: OEM Honda RTA oil filter with a new crush washer is $8 from my dealer
I’d be willing to spend a little more for the OEM oil filter
The A02 oem Honda filter is made by the same company that makes FRAM filters, Under the blue paint, it is identical to the FRAM/Honeywell Tough Guard filter Line. Decent filter. Def better options available though.
I do my oil changes and if i order online its less than 10$ a filter but if i dont place order online, its like 5 dollars more.
I had a 2002 Honda CR-V and the oil filter was mounted horizontally on the back of the engine. You had to reach through the RH front wheel well with the wheel removed or turned all the way to the left. Making a mess was completely unavoidable.
I had a Walmart do this to me in 06. Brand new Hyundai was on a cross country trip. First pm was due at 3k with the original break in oil we were at 4500 so stopped at a Walmart. Got 16 miles away and oil light come on no knocking. Oil all over engine. Had an oil filter that drops in in o6 them drop on paper ones were uncommon. They didn\u2019t change the o ring blew out all over the engine.
