I've been running the M1 104 for 3,000 miles with no issues...it's a better filter than the stocker, period, don't buy the Honda OEM parts hype sold here

There ya go again. I think you post up just to be contrary. Yes, Fram filters (at least the standard ones) are pretty crappy. They are to be avoided. The Mobil1 filter is a reasonable filter and there is nothing wrong with it. It is probably perfectly acceptable. Better than the stock filter? I highly doubt it.

The OEM filter is an excellent high quality filter specifically designed for the S2000. It is very reasonable in price.

becuase the rest of the honda line up started using a smaller filter, and its cheaper for fram to just assign the same for the s2000.

but, DONT USE FRAM. it will turn your vtec off jk

the honda oem filter is good, and definetly worth the price.

Really? I paid $11 for my first one from the dealer, then ordered a pack of 5 from hardtopguy for $8 each. OEM is the best.
