Honda Car Forum

Just bought four from the dealer for my '91 Integra.

They are smaller in diameter than the old Honda Canada Integra filters and
just a bit taller. They now take exactly the same size of cap socket as
Toyota OEM filters.

And they say "Honeywell" on the side. Did Honda ditch FRAM?

Fram is a division of Honeywell.

Well, damn you're right.

It appears I wasn't paying attention when AlliedSignal took over Honeywell
in 1999.

One can only hope!

I wouldn't use Fram on a lawnmower.
Seen plenty of them explode, last one on a stock 1990 Prelude while
autocrossing.
Use a Wix, or possibly a Purolator.

Been using Honda Canada OEM (FRAM) for 13 years on the Integra. With
218,000 miles and assuming an oil change every 3K or less, that's over 70
filters. In all that time I've seen ONE problem: On one earlier this year
the drainback valve was peeled back a bit from the mounting plate.

My oil consumption is currently 3K miles per quart. Pretty good for the
car's mileage. I think frequent changes are more important than exactly
what brand you use.

Don't overlook Hastings or Baldwin. After the Filtech OEM filters, my
fave was Hastings ... I think it was LF-402.

NAPA 1334/Wix 51334 isn't a bad filter ... but the canister is much
larger than the internal filter element. Lots of wasted space. <:^(

All my genuine Honda filters say Filtech on them....

You're in the US. Honda Canada Inc. contracts with FRAM to make them.
Although, weirdly, on the top they now say:
Honda of America Mfg. Inc.
Made in Canada.

Previously they said only:
Honda Canada, Inc.
