Default HAMP Oil Filter Question

Have a couple of these filters knocking about from when I owned my ATR.

Does anyone have any experience of using these with the S?

I'm not sure if they're suitable or not. I had a quick search but nothing came up relating to the particular ones I have.

Part number is: H1540-RTA-505

Anyone ever used before?

Uh oh

I think a couple have fallen off and maybe a couple burst. I can't remember exactly.

The jury is out on whether the OEM one is prone to the same.

Personally I just stick to OEM ones.

Just apply the reccomended tightening sequence and you should be okay.
The pcx-004 Honda filter is turn until touching and then another 7/8th of a turn IIRC.
VERY important - high revving motor, lots vibes, bits drop off. Really.

Exactly - but does the Hamp filter cope with that extra torque to the filter

For the sake of a few quid (as opposed to a few thousand ) I'd stick with the OEM filter fitted to OEM instructions

Hamp is a Honda filter though Ive used them alot over the years and never had an issue.

"Introducing Japan Honda's aftermarket line of automotive products..."HAMP Synergy". HAMP Synergy are aftermarket products designed by Honda and are a step up from the "Honda Original Parts" products. Not meant to compete with racing produts, however, these pieces are quality. The HAMP oil filter can be used on any Honda, but was specifically designed for use in the Type-R and S series cars in mind. Features include a unique release valve that dynamically adjusts to the conditions within the filter to keep the oil flow and pressure constant. The HAMP oil filter will last longer and filter better than any of the oil filters currently on the market. "

Sales pitch!

I know of at least one F20C that had Hamp issues!
