Does the fit use the same size oil filter as the rest of the civic/integra engines... ie. Fram ph3593a filters?

 

I think so.... I would use amp or oem honda one

 

According to College Hills website, same as the Civic/Integra.

 

Honda switched a few years ago - I think the new Fram number is 8817. From what I understand, however, is that both will work, they are just physically a different external size. The 3593a is shorter and wider where the 8817 is longer and narrower.

I have both at home, use the 3593a on my CRX's, and the 8817 I used on an '05 CR-V I had.

NOTE: I THINK it is an 8817, I can check when I go home at lunch today....

 

The Purolator Pur1 is an excellent filter - better than oem.

 

Sorry about that - the correct Fram number is: PH7317 for new Hondas.

 

I think the new OEM Honda filters are FRAM now. I would stay away from anything touched by FRAM and would second the vote for the Purolator

the OE filters, while built by FRAM, are superior quuality to the orange box crap you get at walmart

I change my oil every 4000km, so the filter doesn't really matter all that much

I am debating switching to JDM HAMP filters

All the thin Honda filters I've seen have Honeywell writen on them, not Fram.

 

hmm.. i got Fram ones here...

and they are the skinny tall kind

Honeywell owns Fram... I work for Honeywell. I wouldn't think of using a Fram filter on my car.

Reason I'm asking about the FIT filter is that I have some leftover HAMP small filters from my old Type R and was wondering if I could use them on the FIT.

 

Mobile 1 all the way

 

Ditto - it's in my motorcycle, tractor and push mower too

 

In my scooter, mower, snowblower and soon in my Fit.

 

Ditto on that!

 

in my f-16, my yacht, my submarine, and now in the FiT!!!

 

nope AMP ftw hahaha
