Oil filter Wix or OEM Honda

What kind of oil filter are you running? My LQ4 was always 40 at idle when warm, about 50 to 60 cruising. I started using AC Delco filters and ended up just under 40 at cruise and 20 hot at idle like you have. Went to a Wix at my next oil change and got the original pressure back. The Delco filter was restricting pressure. No problems since with Wix

What kind of oil filters are you using? Ac delco filters caused similar oil pressure on mine, switched to wix and now it always has like 45psi at hot idle, and around 60 at cold start.

I wouldn’t worry about who does the service. Just don’t use shitty Filters. Use OEM or Wix.

I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.

For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.

A good filter is $15 (I use Wix XP) and I get my full synthetic oil at Costco whenever it goes on sale for $3/qt.

I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.

I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!

I\u2019ll be replacing the filer with the Wix 58128 over the OEM Mopar simply because again it\u2019s a decent budget filter and I can\u2019t justify the $45 Mopar price tag, any thoughts on this as well?

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.
