Thanks for the comparison. This is a great tool to give to my Honda dealer to show them there is a differance between the S2000 filter and the generic Honda filter.

Wait, the part number for the HAMP is H1540-PLC-004.

 

I believe the HAMP PLC# filter is the same size as the new one size fits all filter that Honda adopted a few months back.

The PT7 filters I believe are made in the USA by FILTECH.

 

 

 

As mentioned above, there seems to be more than one variety of pre-PCX Honda oem oil filter. When I did my last oil change, I removed the filter on the left in the picture below. I couldn't find a part number anywhere on it that had the same format as the numbers mentioned in this thread.

In any case, it has the same number of "external flow holes," but they are bigger and positioned closer to the middle. The PCX filter is on the right.

 

Road Rage,

Have you ever done a comparison of various aftermarked filters? I am not one who readliy believes the stock Honda parts are necessarily the best for every application; this being one of those cases.

On my car right now is a Purolator PureOne filter, as I believe it is one of the few filters that goes down to 5 microns. I'd be curious to see the differences between the PureOne, Fram X2, Mobil 1, and Bosch Premium filters. Granted, I'm not asking for sophisticated filtration analysis, but your visual comparison would probably be adequate. I have used each of these filters before on various cars, but admittedly never took the time to physically compare them. Your input on various lubricants is well-respected (and appreciated) on this site, and I'd like to see how these aftermarket filters stack up. Perhaps a "showdown" is in order? What say you?

 

The NSX Filter won't fit, The threads are different.

 

Thanks for the info...
