I get my oil filter at Autozone, but I do have to admit that I have the LN adapter plate so I use a spin on oil filter.

but check me on that and make sure I don't have it backwards.

Suggestion
It usually takes me about 8.5 Qts to get to the middle of the dipstick after draining (for a long time) and replacing filter.

I'm approaching the oil change mark and want to get it wrapped out over thanksgiving - who has the best prices for oil + filter (interwebs or otherwise).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey all,
I'm approaching the oil change mark and want to get it wrapped out over thanksgiving - who has the best prices for oil + filter (interwebs or otherwise). Any input is appreciated.
I have found the cheapest price for oil (Mobil 1 and please don't go down that road!) at Wal-Mart. I buy the five quart containers...mine usually takes two plus about 1/2 quart more. I get my oil filter at Autozone, but I do have to admit that I have the LN adapter plate so I use a spin on oil filter. I know they stock the other one as well.
I recently got my Mobil 1 5 quarts (or is it liters?) at a local independent auto parts store. They had $12 MIR that put the price on par with Wally World. I'm not a huge fan of MIRs, but it was returned wicked fast, and they honored multiple purchases.
My owner's manual says oil change quantity with filter approx. 8.7 quarts. Since my filter is a bit bigger it takes a little bit more. I always fill to the full up line on the dipstick after running the car and letting it sit for a a little while. Many oil changes and experience has yielded the 10 quarts plus a little bit more. I suppose I could forgo "the little bit more" but I like to keep the level to the full mark all the time for two reasons: (1) oil is the lubricant but also serves to help cool, so I figure the more circulating the better, and (2) one quart out of 9 is approximately 11% so if you are down a quart that is 11% of your total capacity that should be circulating to do it's job. The important thing is to (1) change the oil/filter often, and (2) use the dipstick for your final measurement rather than a strict rule. Even the owner's manual says "approx." After you do several oil changes with your unique vehicle you'll have it down to a science.
I noticed the same thing. Mine took over 9 quarts to hit full on the dipstick. The electronic oil level read is very accurate on my car so that helps too.
Mogul X-cess 5w-40w synthetic via Amazon 4x5 ltr Cartons $144.72 free shipping. That should cover me for another 10000 miles. 2 filters with O rings from Parts Geek.
That deal is still going on (coupon on website) thru 11/30 and includes filter up to $6.99... you pay any difference after that. Best I've seen if you want to use Mobile 1. What filter did they have and what was the upcharge if any?
Unfortunately, no Pep boys near Memphis TN (HQ for Autozone)
, but others may want to take advantage of this.
I usually order a 10 filters a year to cover my two cousins, and my P-car's for oil changes. i am a pretty firm believer in OEM filters after disecting some of the fram, napa, and other junk filters out there, Whether it is Nissan, Honda, Motocraft, or Porsche I stick with OEM, and with my discount at the dealership it works out to $10.49 CAD which isn't much more expensive than the aftermarket stuff. This is one place i dont think saving a whole $3 is worth it.
I am a firm believer in certain OEM stuff... I have never seen a more robust OEM oil filter than for my Lexus (toyota), but I pass on Honda filters since they appear to be complete crap. I ordered Hengst (Oem provider) filters from Pelican to go with my Motul 8100Xcess purchase from Amazon noted above with free shipping... a good deal for Porsche approved oil for those of use who have no big-box stores who carry the 5W-40 I have decided to use.
Actually taking apart a honda one shows a decent difference in quality. In my shop I like to take apart the different brand oil filters I see in the scrap, investigate which ones are good, and not so good, for the most part, not much beats OEM, some of the really cheap ones even use paper filters instead of fabric which scares me a little
I got the Pelican kit because it comes with the drain plug washer too. I buy the oil (5-W40 Castrol Syntec Edge) at local Auto Zone. They have the filters too but Im not sure if they are as good as Pelicans. Fram has degraded into cheap Walmart garbage.
I don't think you can get the "AO1" filters from Honda anymore... now they use AO2 and they went way downhill... but check me on that and make sure I don't have it backwards. Also, love to see if you get a Toyoto OEM Oil Filter and a Purolator Pure One Oil filter apart (the two I currently use on my other cars). Thanks for the intel
It ended up being $32.xx out the door with a purolator filter (got 2 sets). Turns out M1 doesn't make filters for our car, so they were nice enough to substitue for the only one available. Doesn't look like they charged me anything over the 6.99.
I havent bought any Honda filters in a while so havent bothered checking the A02's I will have to check it out when I get one in. I haven't seen a purolator filter and doubt I will since no one in my current city sells them as far as I know.
The way I look at it is this. some of the filters such as Napa Gold filters may be well constructed, maybe even better constructed than OEM (though rarely imo) but for example the Napa Gold 1356 filter is the filter for Honda's, but it has applications in non Honda applications as well. Honda filters are engineered for Honda engines and nothing else (flow rates, bypass pressures etc) which Napa Gold's are not. They may meet the minimum requirements for the filter, or maximum, but are never the same as OEM.
I find it hard to believe that the Napa Gold filter, the same used in a Saturn Vue, or Hyundai Accent (to name a few) meets the exact requirements set out by Honda for the AP1 S2000 I had that redlined at 9000rpm.
I drive most of my cars less then 3k a year= still buy all oem parts when I can as I have found after doing the car hobby for 40 years they are usually the best.I do on occasion buy original supplier when oem is no longer available or a performance part for increased hp duty.
