Oil filter OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

I am not sure if you can and have a place to do it on your own but I bought oil vacuum pump couple years ago and changing oils myself since then. I have a Volkswagen and oil filter easily accessible from the top.

I also do mine at 5k, religiously. I use Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic 10w30 with a Honda brand filter.

i use oem filters for my 2004 SiR, they’re pretty much the same price as any other good filters on the market

OEM filter every time. 9th gen. Why cheap out?I’m already saving 50 bucks changing the oil myself might as well invest it back in the car.

I only use the OEM filters. They do the job perfectly, I have no reason to try my luck with a different one.

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

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

VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service

Changing the oil filter on 8th gen Si's is a pain in the ass. You need to stick your entire arm around the exhaust header, axle, and steering rack to get to the filter, and then once you barely get a grip and spin it off, it spews oil all over your axle boot and into the subframe.

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 :(
