View Full Version : OEM Oil Filter Part Number? florida f4i 06-03-2009, 11:06 PM Ran a quick search on here and on Google, but couldn't find it. Can anyone help me out please? Thanks in advance, Kyle cman9toes 06-04-2009, 12:09 AM Honda 15410-MCJ-000 I found it by searching "oil Filter" on the site here is everything you need to know in regards to oil and filters http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Consumables.html#Oil florida f4i 06-04-2009, 12:15 AM Thanks, guess I wasn't using the right terms. Hangfire 06-04-2009, 03:21 AM A st7317 from walmart works better and costs about 3 bucks. cageless 06-04-2009, 09:03 AM i rock the civic 1.6 oil filter, just add a lil extra oil. florida f4i 06-04-2009, 12:20 PM I was mainly trying to get it so I can cross-reference, but I appreciate all the insight :) chuckbear 06-04-2009, 12:46 PM A st7317 from walmart works better and costs about 3 bucks. +1 Better, more effective filter and cheap. Win/win. florida f4i 06-04-2009, 01:30 PM I'm definitely going to have to check it out next time I go to Wally World. Anyone have evidence backing up said claims? I like researching stuff, so any and all reading material would be appreciated :) chuckbear 06-04-2009, 01:45 PM Just the fact that it has a much larger effective filter area and it filters out significantly smaller particles. There is a great article with a breakdown on oil filter characteristics and a side-by-side comparison of several leading filters on here somewhere, though I don't recall where I saw it. It was a few years old, but still quite relevant and informative, imo. Give it a search. The PureOne is the one I want, but Fram is what my local walmart sells and I've come to terms with settling for the high-end Fram. Still much better (and cheaper) than the OEM honda one from all I've read on it. Don't take my word for it, though, there's plenty of good reading on the topic out there! :D florida f4i 06-04-2009, 01:49 PM I'll have to look for it, thanks. I wish we could get PureOne for our bikes, that's what I have always used in my cars and it's the best, imo. chuckbear 06-04-2009, 03:07 PM You can use it, it's just like the Fram -- you have to find the filter that will mate to your bike properly. For my '98 F3, I looked up the oil filter for a Mazda MX-6 (I'm guessing it might even be the same filter for your F4i, but check) to find the right one. Someone else on here gave that tip! :D I could have gone to autozone and looked up the pureone, but I was already at walmart and I was willing to settle for the Fram TG, heh. Luckily I had brought my old filter in (mid-change) so I was able to compare the threads and o-ring diameter pretty closely for peace of mind. The Fram I got is a bit longer than OEM, but still plenty of clearance from the headers, so I was ok with it. cman9toes 06-04-2009, 09:15 PM Check the link in my previous post everything is there that you need to make an educated choice. Stay away from fram. playb0i 06-05-2009, 12:34 AM 15410-mfj-d01 chuckbear 06-05-2009, 12:32 PM Stay away from fram. If you're referring to the cardboard element that is touted in that article I'm thinking about cman, they've since changed it out. That was the main thing that was dated about the article I read. If the cardboard was still used to hold the element in place, I would have taken the ride to get the PureOne. chuckbear 06-05-2009, 12:48 PM http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Filters.html#OilFilters This is the article I had read which contains a lot of good info and everything to consider in getting an oil filter. As I said, it is my understanding that Fram has since changed the element at the ends from cardboard to some other better material. (The article is 2 years old) However, I'm doing all kinds of searching on Google now to see if I can find where I read that again, and I can't. Kind of worrying me tbh, and if I can't find it I'll be shortening my oil change interval considerably. Anyway, moral of the story is... get the premium Mobil filter or the PureOne. florida f4i 06-05-2009, 01:49 PM I'd rather cut one of my kidneys out and ghetto-rig it as an oil filter than use a Fram. Thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out when I get home. Hoping to change the oil tomorrow, weather permitting, but she does need a bath, so it may have to work until Sunday when I'm off. cman9toes 06-05-2009, 04:42 PM I haven't cut a fram open in about six months, so I don't know if they have changed their practices, but the walmart supertech filter is still cheaper. I would only choose fram if that is all I had and took a lot of effort or money to get something else. I used to use fram on all my cars, so I don't think they are horrible, just that there is better for cheaper. My bike came with a fram on it and I left it there until it was time for a change. I will have to go to walmart to night and get a hacksaw from tools and go to the auto section and cut a fram open at the store to check for the cardboard...j/k florida f4i 06-05-2009, 06:51 PM Any opinions on K&N oil filters? We can get 'em at work, and I get a discount, so I'm curious to see if anyone has experience with 'em. cman9toes 06-05-2009, 11:10 PM No experience, I wouldn't pay the price, I'm cheap but if you get a deal, then it may be worth it. Check the link I posted I think they review K&N |
