NIKH25 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not great service then. You can get UFI oil filters from Opie oils traders on here at a discounted price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.b Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I got my last one from them,works out pricey with the p&p though if your not getting oil aswell, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.b Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Eurocarparts will do an oil and air filter for around £11 hence why i asked about factor parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.b Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Anyone got an opinion as I'm hoping to go get filter an get oil change done as soon as i get a break in the rain as i got a 1000 mile round trip to do soon ,what do you use oem or factor part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If you need anything else then your best bet is John banks Honda, they are an official trader on here and the genuine Honda oil filters are about 4quid. Ok its six quid postage but if u need anything else while you're there its worth it. I got my genuine Honda battery for 45 quid delivered next dayFyi all petrol Hondas use the same filter except the S2000 and accord type R, so all u need to ask them for is a petrol oil filter. They even use the same ones in their boat engines, just type the part no. In google and it comes up with some boat website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I would go for OEM. If you order them online get three or four to make it worthwhile or get your cabin, air and fuel filter from the same place. I use Hamp D series oil filter myself but the jury is out on whether they are worth the money. Other oil filters are generally all only fit for the bin- they are not all the same. I am using Mann for the other service items at the moment- they seem ok but I wouldn't use them for the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I changed UFI filter this week for a Honda one and it seems so much smoother also the Honda filter was about half the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I had a Unipart on mine when I got it- it was the size of a football and as far as I could tell was doing absolutely nothing to filter the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yes the Honda ones are very small. I guess the accord R and S2k ones are probably bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
