4/12/2023 0 Comments Mobil rokithe hamp filters can be purchased on ebay and from many jdm retailers. it was exactly the same as the jdm green HAMP one. i had a new car come in for its first oil change and i kept the factory filter that came on it (it was made by toyo roki and said so right on the side) and cut it open one lunch hour for fun. form what ive seen and invesitgate myself its made for hamp by toyo roki. im not quite sure exactly as to the oil pressure issues but if you'd like to stick with a smaller filter and want a better one than the over the counter frams they use now at all dealerships, the jdm HAMP one (green) come in a small size. The s2k filter will fit on your civic but honda has gone to the smaller filter across the board except for the s2000 and the hybrid insight. i know how honda can be and if you use different stuff in your car other than honda's until the warranty runs out they might try and be sticklers if something goes wrong. the only thing with your civic being so new be careful what you use so you dont run into warranty problems. now i see engines come in looking alot cleaner than mine did back then. our dealership a while ago even got its bulk oil for services from castrol but they found the same sludging/darkening issues and changed to petro-canada bulk oil. reading up on the net i found out that i wasn't the only one who noticed this. i used to run castrol syntec but i found my valvetrain always looked dirty and sludged up with it. mobil 1 gets alot of good reviews and i used it before i went to redline 5w30 synthetic in my civic (then again, im VERY hard on my car and its only a 1.5L non-vtec d15b7). Īs far as a good oil, you'll hear as many choices as there are grains of sand on the beach. you'll have to convert that to quarts because im on metric system up here. ![]() ![]() yours should take approx 3.2L if its non-VTEC and 3.5L for VTEC versions. im the minor service tech at our local honda dealership and and all ther 2001 and up civics here in canada take 5w20. You can also find some good info in the thread i started :beer: :Ĭlick to expand.welcome man and congratualtions on your purchase :TU.ĥw20 is the proper oil for your car. Hey kommon, another good site if you're really interested in oil studies and filter cutouts is this one kommon: if i have to go down to the small size i'll buy the small hamp units. I guess until someone shows me that the large filters are detrimental to the operation of the engine i'll keep using the large ones as long as they make them. im sure honda wouldn't use it if it was harmful to the engine however is it possible that it could be the "band-aid" for a poorly designed oil pump as you mentioned? id have to see a cutout of the small hamp filter before i buy into the small filter trend. im guessing that the low oil pressure situation only happens in the newer civics but it might occur in 95 and olde rmodels as well. i was reading your thread on sohchonda and hamp now makes the small size filters too. i asked rob if i pull mine off the car and return it for a refund and new oneĬlick to expand.good finds man :TU. i checked the other day because they always keep one in stock and they've reduced the price now to $8. Wheni bought my filter a while ago they were like $38 a pop over the counter at the dealership. then honda went to the smaller one for some reason but im not buying it. lets just say in a matter of 15 minutes with a small air cutting wheel and some brake cleaner, i had proved my point :TU:Īll hondas used to have a filter of that size at one point and the dealership used large ones for oil changes all the time. they kept saying the filters are all the same so one day this week when things were slo i cut open the honeywell/fram one we use daily for oil changes and the filtech units which comes installed on brand new hondas from the factory. the guys at the dealership make fun of me because i use one and i cut filters open in my boredom time. ![]() I was kinda worried for a while there to suggest it because i didnt want to feel responsible in some way if something happened but a ton of guys use them religiously on h-t and i have one on my eg as well and its worked fine for me.
