M1-104 Oil Filter For Track
#21
For what it's worth, I usually run mobil1 EP oil with the EP filter on my k20 civic Si. I've tracked it hard before and ran an oil analysis on it afterwards through blackstone labs, and everything was strong and healthy (engine had about 70k miles on it, with 6k oil changes)

The PCX filter for the s2k is different than most filters, as it uses metal-to-metal contact to achieve it's final torque. The gasket only compresses a small amount before the fliter casing bottoms out on the engine so you can tighten it.
Bottom line, this filter requires more torque than any other filter. If this filter is tighened only enough to compress the gasket a little, and not bottom out, IT WILL COME OFF. This is a proven fact.
Make it tight Tighten all the way by hand, you'll feel it stop dead against the engine. Then just snug it from there with the filter wrench.

that's good.
i still don't believe you can get it 7/8 turn by hand only, using the numbers printed on the filter itself, after the filter makes contact.
so with this belief, if you want to get it to the specification printed on the oil filter itself, you would need a filter wrench.
