MX-3.com

I just went to Parts Source and looked at the 90-95 zr-1 Oil filter and it looks as though there was no way it would fit on our cars. can someone clarify this for me.

I've been using them for the past year. If you looked up a regular corvette it will be wrong.

but the overall diameter of the filter is much lager then our OEM one

Uh huh, thats the whole idea. The gasket is slightly wider too but it will still seal fine.

a 94-97 accord 4cyl accord filter works too

I was just wondering what is wrong with using the mx-3 oil filters?

just picked one up huge difference in size, I like it

Turns out all hondas use the same size filter on their smaller 4 cyl motors, which happen to be teh same as teh festiva filter, which happens to be the same size as the V6 (gasket and thread pitch are identical).<p>I'm using a corvette filter right now, huge, but same price and seems to do its job.

will the filter fit on a i4

so do we actually get more power by using th vette filter??? i dont it wont be much but does it help?

dudes cant you get it, <p>1)bigger filter means more cleaning material to clean through your dirty oil<p>2)bigger capacity, means you gonna be able to have more oil in your crankcase, thus reducing risk of running dry at high rpms, or if youre doing lots of racing(bigger crankcase helps a lot in this situation).

it will flow better for longer, i have never heard of this before <p>good research peeps

more oil does not mean more power
more air usually means more power
