It's the same filter that is factory installed on all S2k's. Nothing to make it JDM only. You'll need a wrench if you don't have one.

sorry guys, i should've searched a little more.

so there is no way to remove the oil filter without this wrench? that really sucks.

bye the way, the pcx is the jdm honda filter according to this link.

Not if it's on properly. Unless you're some superhuman clamp handed beast.

I had one on tight once and no tool so I drilled a hole in the side and used a screwdriver to loosen it. Bit messy.

I now use the K&N HP-1004 which has a 1 inch nut on the end and a hole for safety wire.

Yeah technically they use it on all stock S2000s, including Japanese ones. But if you really are going JDM with the car (i.e. car show class), I would pick up a HAMP filter.

gorilla arms!!

I can tighten 75% of the PCX-004 filters all the way without a wrench, but I can never get them off without one. as mentioned, just pick up one from the auto parts store for a few bucks.
