Honda PCX and K&N filters are nice. Mobil filters are nice as well but I like the ease of use of the K&N

On the S2K I had a stock of PCX filters that I haven't run out of yet so I'm still using the PCX filter on it.. the Integra gets the K&N filter.

 

oil color is us usually a idicator of carbon (not that damaging). UOA actually checks for metal density within the oil which isn't always dark. hth

 

IMO always use an OEM Honda filter. I personally looked at an NSX motor that blew up because the cheap store bought filter came apart and clogged all the oil galleys.

Can't go wrong with certain OEM parts, espically if they say Honda on them.

 

Don't overfill either. Billman and I watched a car hydroloc at the dragon because of to much oil. True story.

 

How many quarts?

 

4.5 liters (4.8 US qt) at oil change.
4.8 liters (5.1 US qt) at oil change including filier.

 

hydrolocked from oil!?!? Wow ... i like to be careful but gosh ... adding water to it is no way to solve that problem!!




jk

 

 

it was pretty strange actually, but it ruined this guys trip. oil was everywhere, and then we checked the dipstick and there was still oil in the pan. After a teardown, Billman determined that it was a hydroloc.

 

I have been changing my oil roughly every 5k, I take mine into palm harbor honda and let thm do it so its alll honda fluids and parts for me. hhonda has some of the greatest oem parts!

I've had bad experienceswith syynthetic so I stck to dino oil. oh and it comes out almost clear after 5k miles too
