Hi MAT,

I've read those forums and agree that for some people it has become a
sot of an obsession, hehe. I've already decided on pretty much the same
oil/filter combination as you describe. We'll see how it goes.

Best wishes,

Alex.

I think the Purolator Pure One is the best when I evaluate performance,
price, and retail accessability. You can obsses with the rest of them in
the www.bobistheoilguy.com forums. I'm running the new 5w-30 M1 EP now, but
have done extended drains (~8500) with standard M1 and pureone filters for
years and always had great running/looking civic engines, mostly just
inspection under the valve covers during valve adjustments.

Thank you for fixing the page.

I've read everything I could find on the matter and agree with you that
there is little consensus on to be found. My plan is to extend the OCI on
this car by using Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic oil, but I am undecided on what
filter to use if I'd like to go for about a 10,000 mile OCI - new Honda
OEM filters or some aftermarket ones like Purolator, Amsoil, or Baldwin.

I guess I'll have to go for the anecdotal evidence and the few cases
where people sent their oil in for testing after extended OCIs.

Hi,

I am not able to reach
http://tegger.com/hondafaq/oilfilter...r_comparo.html using two
different browsers. All I get is a blank page. I'd be interested in
reading the above discussion as I am considering a switch to 5W30 Mobil
1 synthetic oil for my 2001 4cyl Accord and would like to make sure I
use a decent filter in there as well.

Regards,

Alex
