But not too tight- that's a good way to dislodge or tear the gasket and create a leak.

I had to go to 2 dealerships to get the 15400-PCX-004. The first one said "This is the filter we use on all of our cars now. There is no 'special' s2000 filter." I gave him the pcx part #, he looked it up and called a guy and said it works for the s2000 but it isnt required. He insisted the PLM one was correct, I said whatever and left. The second dealership I go in and say "s2000 filter, please" the guy comes back with a PCX and I told him about the previous dealership and he smirked.

I was about ready to use my last filter from a supply that I had purchased from H&A last year. I needed to pick up some Honda MTF which H&A does not seem to have on their website when I ran across an on-line coupon for Fairfax Honda in Virginia. It is good for 15% off over the counter parts sales and buy three get one free on the oil filters. I did the math including shipping and no tax versus tax and calculated a break even point of $7.53. Fairfax Honda had the new 15400-PCX-004 filters as the new one for the S2000 for $7.50 and that included the drain plug washers (which I no longer need thanks to oil drain petcock).

I use the Mobil 1 Filter... they SHOULD be good, they are a pop!
Garbage the new M104 filters use the same media but they have changed the gasket and hole design to a 5 hole.

Waste of money IMO
