I have a bunch left that are for my S2000. My friend has an RSX-s and I wanted to know if the S2000 oil filters will fit in the RSX-s?

Any ideas?

No. I hear the new RSX uses a smaller filter. The Insight uses a smaller filter as well. Around 1990 Honda switched to the current filter that most Hondas now use. Prior to that, they were considerably larger. I believe the NSX still uses this filter (would have to check that).

They should all be the same thread size (20mmx1.50) but the smaller units might have a higher bypass pressure.

Call the Acura dealer and have them confirm it.

Honda only has three oil filters for all their cars. The filter I use on the S2000 is the same one that was used on the '90 CRX-Si. I suspect the S2000 filter is the same as the Acura RSX!

So, Acura cars use filters that say Honda on them? If not, are Acura filters (made in USA or Canada) any different from the Honda filters, construction-wise?

The oil filter from the S2000 will fit and technically work on the RSX-S - but there will be a loss in oil pressure due to the larger filter.

The smaller filters are being used a lot by the b-series crowd because of the higher oil pressure readings.

General rule of thumb is this: b-series/S2000 owners can use either filter (large or small) whereas k-series owners should use the smaller filter only.

I hope that makes sense.
