Oil filter question

[ellupo11]

The problem with quoting AI “data” is in the table above is the different comparison points are not based on the same measurement methodology in half or maybe more than half of the cells. It’s all a bit disjointed. Even if they’re quoted from various sources, without the same lab doing the measurement using a consistent procedure, you can’t blindly compare out of context numbers.

Sentences like “Effective for standard use but lower than full synthetics in multi-pass tests.” seem non-sensical. If you understand what this is referring to, could you explain? What is a “full synthetic” when we’re talking about filters?

Some sources to the original websites with the original studies would be good, so we can verify nothing’s confabulated.

Filter testing should all be done to the same ISO standard.
That's not to say the AI compilation didn't include other testing too but if the tests were done according to ISO they're comparable even if done at different labs

I use the Spoon oil filter.

So the OEM Honda filter is made by Fram? https://dreamshop.honda.com/s/product/filter-oil-fram/01t6g000004KhWOAA0

I keep the OCI at 3 -4k, 5k max. New filter each time, at present the fram ultra synthetic XG one (about 8-9 dollars delivered to my door), and a top quality oil. Simple.

Who makes the spoon filter? Would be interesting to tear one apart

I’m not sure, but there’s a video on YouTube somewhere of someone taking it apart. What I like about it is the magnet inside. Helps capture the debris during the break in and such. I been using it since 600 miles with a magnetic drain plug.
