I use Bosch because it's a good filter at a decent price, but there are other good options. The FRAM ones can apparently come apart and let bits of filter material into the engine.

Digging up this thread

I wanted to add that i switched from Mobil 1 which i've used ALL MY LIFE To Royal Purple and my car runs/idles alot smoother in harsh conditions and it outlasted Mobil 1 by ALOT.

Royal Purple FTW!

Yea, that's why i waited so long to use it. I was always curious about it but would not bring my self to pay almost 10$ a quart. Once you get past that its worth it!

Oem filters ONLY never anything else. Also I have been told oem s2000 filters bump up oil pressure on b series engines about 10 psi kendall gt1 is the best oil in my opinion. Whoever said oem is junk is a fucktard.

Info about the s2000 filter came from a friend who is a Honda tech who tried it. Also Honda only makes 2 filters everything and a special one for s2000's.
