I just had my first oil change at the dealer. I had looked at the factory filter before the work was done. The new filter is blue like the old one, but the diameter looks much smaller...this sound right?

Anyone have the part # it should be?
 
Doesn't matter, as long as it fits. Cars can run without oil filters!

o3 crv should have the small one. the 2 are interchangeable though. honda just announced that only the small one will be used from here on out, with the exception of the s2000. doesn't really matter they all bypass above about 3000 rpm. they can't handle the flow.

How did you determine the bypass rpm?

a lubrication seminar years ago. but think about it. you think that little piss ant filter can flow 4.5 quarts of oil through the filter medium every 1/2 sec.??

Dude, I don't know shit about oil flow through this engine, but the oil pump doesn't move 2 gallons+ per second.

Yes, according to a dealer parts tech I spoke with recently, Honda has superseded the old filters with the newer smaller ones. The mounting flange is the same. However, this parts tech was uncertain if the filter media had changed or just the size of the can. It's likely that both have changed. One thing of interest that he did mention to me was that the supplier for the new smaller filters was Fram (made in Canada) and that the Filtech filters (made in USA) will not be available in the smaller size. He also seemed doubtful that the older style Filtech filters would continue to be available for much longer.

I've suspected this for some time. The much superior filter will be phased out in favor of the cardboard specials.

Thanks, but I'd use a Hastings LF-402 instead.

Yes this is normal. Honda jsut changed oil filters and went to the smaller one acros the models. Dont be alarmed, it ahs the same quality as the other filter but in a smaller package.

99% of what wears in this engine is aluminum. those magnets aren't worth it.
