Oil filter OEM Honda or AC DELCO
I typically buy OEM filters from the maintenance website section for dreamshop.honda.com
I set my order to be picked up at the dealer months prior to any oil changes. The filter is always blue.
Been using just regular t4 Rotella and AC Delco filters on all of my diesels since 2011. No complaints
You should definitely change the oil. I always recommend doing an oil change when you buy a car. When I bought my 22 civic and took it to service (because it was still in warranty) the mechanic told me it was a great thing i brought it in because the filter was so loose that he basically did 2 turns before oil started coming out. You never want to risk anything.
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
After the A01's ceased production I moved to Bosch and Wix filters.
I don't have it all figured out, but whatever my mechanic tends to install causes the engine to run louder. The A01 filters were much quieter, even than A02.
I've used the A02 filter many times, and got them in bulk from Amazon. They're good. When I buy from the dealer, I get a 003 instead -- fewer holes, and made by Tennex instead of Honeywell. I find it easier to get A02 on the aftermarket at a better price, so usually go with that.
Switched between fram and ac delco. Sticking to ac delco due to a tsb. Oil pressure issues.
Honda doesn't make oil filter. You are wasting your money.
Buy brand like Fram or bosh, following maintenance schedule the the only really important thing.
Ac delco/delphi quality has been getting really bad. There’s a cheaper line of products that are all Chinese and then a higher level. I stopped using their oil filters when the threads were completely off for my 3800.
I changed the oil with an AC Delco PF66 filter. Turned on the car and it instantly started spewing oil. Immediately turned it off. Oil sprayed through the cracks in front grill/bumper panel on passenger side.
