do the aftermarket oil filters actualy do anything or just a remmake of the stock ones because i was thinking about getting a K&Noil filter

i know it wont be a raddicle increase in performance but does it help?:confused:

I run Emgro, they are less than $2. That sounds better than $7 for a K&N. :rolleyes:

i replaced my oil filter a honda oil filter. k&n says thats its better than the rest, but i dont think its worth payin 7 bucks for when you can pay 2 bucks for the emgo filter like oynot400 said

I've been using honda filters in my 400EX.. Napa carries them in a pinch, but they are only about $1 cheaper (here anyway).. The honda filters seem to have slightly better construction.

I use fram oil filters. they come with a new o-ring. some of the cheaper oil filters don't supply the o-ring for the cap.

Where do you get your Fram filters from? The only place I know that have filters close to home are dealers. Or do you have to order them?

I haven't seen anyone supply the oring. It is another $2-3 for the oring from Honda. Let us know where you get a Fram oil filter for the 400 and what it costs. Fram makes a dam good automotive filter. :D

The napa filter also comes with a new o-ring...

I believe it's p/n 4944 but I'm not 100% on that..
