Just found some info:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honda's very recent change in E oil filter supplier from Filtech (Dana/Wix) to Honeywell (a/k/a Fram) caused me to ask, "OK, what in the heck is in that new blue can? Is it the same as the orange can? And what was in the old blue can?" Well,
this snowballed into including a couple of selected aftermarket filters, and then, and then, and then... and by the time all was said and done, I'd cut apart 8 filters! [BTW... this affliction runs in the family. My wife spent the evening - while I was away at a meeting - separating all the M&Ms from a 5-pound bag into their colors to prove to me that there are more browns than anything else. There aren't, but we were gypped on reds. ] The subjects: Honda 15400-PLM-A01,
$4.88 from H&A Accessories Summary Best: Honda 15400-PLM-A01, by a large margin. This is the "old" blue can.
Alternative: Wix 51356, but with more frequent changes. Worst: A tie between Fram Extra Guard and Honda 15400-PLM-A02; Amsoil and Mobil1 get very bad marks for too-little filtering. Surprise: Mobil1's and Amsoil's pathetic amount of actual filter. Advice: Stock-up on 15400-PLM-A01 if you can! Program Notes I have to do this in installments. I will post the text first to get the info out, and will come back later to add pictures. Check for text edits, too, as I
discover things that may need revision or clarification, or to add links, etc. Also, I have no means to "test" these filters for flow rates, pressure drops, overpressure capacity, time-to-bypass, media efficiency, anti-drainback leakage... or anything else that simulates operating conditions. We'll have to leave that to the pros with the multi-million-dollar test labs, should anybody outside of the industry ever bother to publish results. :-| Caution - Contains Major
Bubble-Bursting! The (in my estimation) worst filters relative to total filtering capacity were the two most expensive - Mobil1, at $11 and Amsoil, at a whopping $14 (is there gold inside?). These two respectively had 48% and 32% the filtering media of the Honda -A01 filter. For some reason these two brands have some manner of "Holy Grail" following, but I'm going to beg to differ - for the filters spec'ed by the makers for the E, you are paying 2-3X for less than half the filter. Nice
work if you can get it. 15400-PLM-A01 ("Filtech") on left, 15400-PLM-A02 ("Honeywell") on right:
