yeah they will put a honda oil filter on it and it will cause low oil pressure. that will really slow your truck down. my buddy took his Acura Integra down there and they put a Honda Civic oil filter on it because they were out of the Integra Filters

sometimes that doesnt matter..sure there different makes but if the threads are the same and the filter may be a lil smaller or larger it will still work..my 4.3 in my blazer could use 2 diff kinds of filters and it didnt hurt a thing..HONDA is ACURA..same engines same filters wont hurt a thing..unless it crossthreaded the whole way on there......look at how many ppl only change there filters like twice a year ..


Hahaha the turbo backasswards thats a good one...i love all these it makes me laugh just reading them..

the oil filter they used was from a d16y8 engine and my buddy has the b18b engine. one is 1.6 liter and one is 1.8 the reson it leaked was because the filter was too short and the threads bottomed out inside the filter before filter seal did. so it did seal somewhat after they tightened the crap out of it but not enough.

Drivetrain Mod: Remove the driveshaft.

Teenage Girl Driver Mod: Don't change your oil until a young hopeful offers to do it for free to impress you.

Honda Mod: Buy a 5" muffler and straight pipes.

Ram Mod: Swap in the 2.4 S10 Engine.

Lowrider Mod Remove the rear leaf springs. Not only will the truck be slower, but the resulting sparks will ensure no-one will ever tailgate you again!

b3kbruiser Mod: Tow an 8,000lb camper.

Intake Mod: Replace intake and throttle bodie with large cork.

Exhaust Mod: Downgrade your muffler bearings.

Blonde Wife's Mod: Add brake fluid to oil pan. Add transmition fluid to coolant tank. Add coolant to brake cylinder. Get confused at the many types of oil and decide it's not that important anyways.

EDIT: Someone beat me to the muffler bearings...

he got the car to the dealer in time so it was ok. yeah his car sucks. i beat him in my truck with a muddy air filter(i didnt know). all he has is intake and exhaust and a crappy pep boys system.

i love to see 4 doors woop butt or full interior cars. Ryan Woon has a 9 second supra with the 6 speed, full interior and a system. now thats impressive
