i just bought a JDM b16a2 and i went to auto zone and i bought the oil filter for it i get home . and it dont FIT!! do i gotta buy a jdm oil filter? the auto zone wal mart and other filters all have the same universal fit when i look in the catalog















yes it is its stamped on the engine

Is this for a car that has had an engine swap? You say b16a2 so I wonder. I hate to say it but, maybe it isn't actually a b16a2.

I would call JDM and ask what oil filter to use. Then you can find what is an acceptable replacement.































My replacement engine on my Civic was canadian spec engine. But it still took standard Civic oil filters. The filter is the same on my 1999 Accord 4 cylinder. I prefer fram 3593a, because it fits my oil filter wrench. And when I get it changed professionally the filters are usually skinnier.
