I had the same code popping up onky after redlining. I had 2 months prior, replaced the oil filter housing on my atlas 21' 2.0t and vw passat 15' 1.8t with the metal one... off brand from amazon but works well on the atlas, so no issues, EPC would be nonstop until i turned off the car and back on. Switched the housing back to stock with a new filter and BOOM. Problem literally solved.
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.
I change my oil when the maintainance minder gets to 50% with 0w20 and a Honda filter and don't bother resetting it.
Ex: OEM Honda RTA oil filter with a new crush washer is $8 from my dealer
I’d be willing to spend a little more for the OEM oil filter
Might not make a difference, but the Honda oil filters are the best in the business.
The A02 oem Honda filter is made by the same company that makes FRAM filters, Under the blue paint, it is identical to the FRAM/Honeywell Tough Guard filter Line. Decent filter. Def better options available though.
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.
Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.
