you can try what I try, go to a honda dealer and tell them you work for an acura dealer and he should give you a discount, no question.

I my friend tried that and he allegedly work at a acura across the street and got me the oild filters for 4 bucks each

Tip- when you get the filters and washers - tape the washers to the top of the filters. That way, 2 years from now when you're on your 6th filter, you'll still have that washer around.
These guys are great. I get my orders in 1 business day because I live fairly close to them (I think they are a side business for Carmichael Honda in California).

There are slightly cheaper prices on some of the other Honda parts sites (a few cents here, a buck there), but handa-accessories has BY FAR the easiest website to navigate and understand if all you want is maintenance items. I like that they make it easy to identify fill/drain washers for common uses. On other sites you have to pick apart complex diagrams just to figure out which washer you need. They pack stuff well and the big zip-lock bags they put liquids in are great for other uses because they are so big and tough.

Once I run out of filters I'm going to use CM filters along with Amsoil oil.
All I'm saying is I changed the oil on my car 2 weeks ago. I put 30,000 miles on my car with amsoil before I changed it and there was still a good 3 cartons left of oil.

If you know fram is poorly made why use it? The extra few bucks for the OEM is worth the piece of mind.
