Default Question regarding the OEM oil filter...

Does anyone know the measurements/diameter of the OEM Honda filter? I don't want to pay $25 for the Honda tool, so I picked up a variety pack from Harbor Freight for $5 which has a few different sizes. I need to make sure one is going to fit before I open the package, and don't have a spare filter here. Thanks for the help guys...

If I knew the size I would tell you, but all I can say is you can always call your local Honda dealer and ask

I got my car preowned and it's a NAPA filter. Anyone?

My NAPA filter is 80mm. I'm thinking they may be the same. I'm guessing someone on here has a filter from a local parts store that has a number written on it.

Thank for the help.

I wondering if the cap is just a hair bigger. One of the filter wrenches that came with the set was 80mm, which is 3.15 inches. I'm thinking this is going work.

Thanks again.

Diameter (d) = 2x radius ( r )
Circumference = 2*Pi*r or Pi*d

I had no luck with the cap end wrenches. I had several small ones from other cars and I had to go for one of the claw design (giant pliers). The flats and diameter varied significantly from my factory and the gold I used in a pinch (and the store frams for comparison). This claw wrench is really the only way to take off the filters if they are put on right (tight to spec).
