Oil filter OEM Honda or OEM Toyota

8th gen Si sedan. Honda filter only! They cost about the same as whatever shit filter you're going to buy at autozone anyway.

Dealerships will use their branded parts, which is the OEM (manufacturer) provided part. For example during a oil service, Toyota will use their Toyota/Lexus branded oil filters that come in the little red/white box with brand stamping all over it.

Toyota filter 6 bucks and Walmart Mobil one 26 for 5 quarts do it for less than 50 bucks

I did change mine also on 1600km. I noticed that while the engine oil that drained was clear visibly, the oil that came out with the filter was a lot darker. Is this normal for 1600 km or the first oil change is really needed?

I usually pay 28 EUR for Oil ( 4L synthetic 5w30) plus 7 EUR for the filter and change it myself at a Hobbywerkstatt for 7 EUR. Total cost = 42 EUR.

I have found that my engine runs smoothest with the Toyota 90915-YZZD3 filter and Valvoline full synthetic. The first time I put an OEM filter on the engine and fired it up, i was like woah! thats even smoother than usual!

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

I ALWAYS use a Toyota oil filter.

It's in-line with what they used to recommend and how I have always done it my whole life, so swapping the oil and filter at 10,000km with synthetic oil and a genuine filter is how I roll still.

Every. Fucking. One. Of those filters was fucked in there by a gorilla with a 1 inch impact. I fucking swear! What is it with lube monkeys and raping Toyota filters in? Hell, the last one I did still had the filter socket attached because that’s how fucking hard that thing got railed into place.
