The Best Oil Filters for any Honda Accord
Published September 2, by Joseph Feghali, Authorized Amsoil Dealer
While Honda recommends their own OEM filters, independent testing, and user experiences would suggest that some options, like Wix and AMSOIL, may be much better. Consider the following:
Honda specifies their own filters, which are designed specifically for Accord engines and are recommended by Honda, but that does not mean you have to use a Honda filter. There are a few better options out there if you want something that is really going to keep your engine clean and built with high quality materials.
1. Wix Filters
– Renowned for their high-quality construction and great filtration
– Typically, outperform major OEM filters in independent testing
– Superior particle capture efficiency
2. AMSOIL Filters
– Designed for extended service life
– Utilize synthetic filter media for greater oil flow and capture of contaminants
– Greater dirt holding capacity than OEM filters
Wix and AMSOIL Key Benefits
Better Filtration: Most of these filters have higher particle capture efficiency, meaning more contaminants are removed from the oil.
Longer Service Life: These are designed to maintain performance over a longer period, which will give you longer oil change intervals.
Improved Oil Flow: Advanced filter media designs can promote better oil flow, mainly in cold start conditions.
Higher Dirt-Holding Capacity: This can retain more contaminants before getting saturated, which protects the engine.
Make sure the oil filter is compatible with your Accord’s model and engine type. You can search the correct oil filter for your specific Honda Accord on our site or click the button below.
Amsoil’s filtration system provides exceptional performance with a filtering efficiency of 99 percent at 20 microns. This high level of efficiency allows for lower restriction, ensuring that engine parts remain properly lubricated. Compared to competing filters, this system offers greater capacity for capturing small, wear-causing contaminants, which significantly helps reduce engine wear over time. As a result of its superior design and functionality, the filter offers an extended service life, providing long-lasting protection for your engine.
