IIRC - estore honda no longer delivers for free to Germantown. So I deliver to Rockville. For everything though, generally go to HTG.

Last time I checked delivery was still free, but no more discount. Has that changed?

The Honda OEM PCX filter is regarded as being the best available. Not true for all OEMs, though. My OEM Subaru filter for the STi is junk.

Advance has a ton of spend $50 save 20 deals and other kind of deals. So I manage to pick up 5 or 6 Mobil1 filters every chance I get. I have a good stock pile of Mobil1 filters to last me a lifetime

Its not so much that it is the "best" Its that the bypass valve in the oem is correct for the f20/f22 while other high end filters will probably out-filter it, the bypass valves are an unknown.

Sure, if you want to get all technical. But, the other filters aren't likely to blow up your car... We've all used them in a pinch at one time or another.

Im installing my amuse lip on my ap1 soon and i need to buy some oem clips and bolts for it. So yesterday, i went to Hersons Honda (thinking its just nuts and bolts, so how much could that be?). They had to order the parts and would cost me a total of $27 4 spring clips and 4 5mm bolts for $27 dollars???? the hell with that and walked out. Called Criswell Honda and they would have to order the pieces too but a total of $9 dollars. Don't go to Hersons HONDA! scammers!

On my last s2k I used the Purolator PureOne filter for the entire time I owned the car and never had any problems with them.

I should just talk to my buddy at Honda about ordering me a handful at a time.
