'03 CR-V Oil filter...new one looks smaller
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?

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superseded the old filters with the newer smaller ones.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.

Re: '03 CR-V Oil filter...want to support filtering of engine oil?
If you want ..
to protect your vehicle from the wear, friction, noise and costly engine
problems.
to make your engine oil cleaner.
to reduce engine wear and friction.
to extend your engine and transmission life.
then, check this out, and put it on your oil filter.

Re: '03 CR-V Oil filter...new one looks smaller
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.

Thank you for your opinoins...
Iron (magnetic) and steel alloy is being used in many engine parts.
Even aluminum blocks use iron cylinder sleeves.
The wear of these cylinder liner, valve and gear train, oil pump etc...
can cause excessive oil consumption, abnormal engine noise,
performance problems, oil pressure, abnormal operating temperatures,
stuck/broken piston rings etc...
Let's see some of the used oil analysis;
-----------------------------------------
2001 Camry, V-6 engine ....
80% city/20% highway driving
Miles on engine, 26000
miles on oil, 7200
No makeup oil added
OEM paper air filter
SDF-57 oil filter
Wear Metals
Fe, 21 ppm
Cr, 0 ppm
Pb, 4 ppm
Cu, 8 ppm
Sn, 1 ppm
Al, 9 ppm
Ni/Ag/Mn, 0 ppm
------------------------------------------
1999 Honda Civic
106hp, 1.6L engine, 5 speed manual
0w30 Castrol Syntec
5500 miles on oil/47,000 miles on engine
No fuel or oil additives
NAPA Gold oil filter
OEM air filter
Oil was run from March 23 to July 3 (15 weeks)
Average of 366 miles per week
No top up oil
Oil capacity is 4.2 qts
This car is driven mostly on the highway
(but with lots of stop and go/heavy traffic)
This was the first interval with this oil, previous oil was SL formula
TriSynthetic Mobil 1 5w30
Mobil 1 5w30 Castrol 0w30
8000 miles 5500 miles
..
Iron 19 14
Lead 10 4.5
Aluminum 5.2 2.5
Copper 3.8 3.0
Silicon 8 11
Nickel 0.1 0
Chromium 3 0.8
Titanium 0.1 0
Tin 0.2 0
Silver 0.4 0.2
Vanadium 0.2 0
Potassium 0 0
------------------------------------------
Fe(iron) is magnetic and the most wear in thses casees.
Unfortunatly, Iron can cause more wear of non-magnetic metal
such as Cu(Copper) and Al(Aluminuim),
since iron and steel is harder than them and circulating in the engine
parts.
Regular magnets from computer hard drive or toy
don't have enough strength,
also, they lose a great deal of magnetic strength
with high temperature from engine block and oil.
Try to use the oil filter magnet
after thousands miles driving, cut and open your oil filter,
then you'll see what is in it for sure.
Simply, It works.

Fe(iron) is magnetic and the most wear in thses casees.
Unfortunatly, Iron can cause more wear of non-magnetic metal
such as Cu(Copper) and Al(Aluminuim),
since iron and steel is harder than them and circulating in the engine
parts.
Regular magnets from computer hard drive or toy
don't have enough strength,
also, they lose a great deal of magnetic strength
with high temperature from engine block and oil.
Try to use the oil filter magnet
after thousands miles driving, cut and open your oil filter,
then you'll see what is in it for sure.
Simply, It works.

Thank you for your opinoins...
Iron (magnetic) and steel alloy is being used in many engine parts.
Even aluminum blocks use iron cylinder sleeves.
The wear of these cylinder liner, valve and gear train, oil pump etc...
can cause excessive oil consumption, abnormal engine noise,
performance problems, oil pressure, abnormal operating temperatures,
stuck/broken piston rings etc...
Let's see some of the used oil analysis;
-----------------------------------------
2001 Camry, V-6 engine ....
80% city/20% highway driving
Miles on engine, 26000
miles on oil, 7200
No makeup oil added
OEM paper air filter
SDF-57 oil filter
Wear Metals
Fe, 21 ppm
Cr, 0 ppm
Pb, 4 ppm
Cu, 8 ppm
Sn, 1 ppm
Al, 9 ppm
Ni/Ag/Mn, 0 ppm
------------------------------------------
1999 Honda Civic
106hp, 1.6L engine, 5 speed manual
0w30 Castrol Syntec
5500 miles on oil/47,000 miles on engine
No fuel or oil additives
NAPA Gold oil filter
OEM air filter
Oil was run from March 23 to July 3 (15 weeks)
Average of 366 miles per week
No top up oil
Oil capacity is 4.2 qts
This car is driven mostly on the highway
(but with lots of stop and go/heavy traffic)
This was the first interval with this oil, previous oil was SL formula
