Yeah, the new filters are very small. Honda claims they filter smaller particles better....but really, why can't they do that with a large filter? The world may never know.

Good question... maybe they are saving on materials to reduce the cost to them?

Anyone ever read that oil filter article? the good side is the smaler size slightly ups oil pressuire...not necessarily good for boost though, right? |

Interesting. Because on my car the normal schedule is 7500 oil and 15k filter, but for severe it's 3750 for both. It's not a PITA with an oil filter wrench, though. b |

i tried changing the oil at 7500 but after 2500-3000miles my engine keeps burning oil like hell, i would have to add oil every other day, plus when i changed it at 6000miles the oil was too thick and dirty (a lot thincker than the oil that went in 6000 miles ago) so i will change it every 3000 miles no matter what. as for oil filters i used the purolator pure one filters and i would get the oil light to turn on after punching the car. that never happened with the cheap ass fram filters, plus my oil comes out a lot cleaner with the fram than any other brand i used. keep in mind this is just a personal observation and not an actual test, and yes the car is just few clicks away from 160k miles on the dash
