Recommended oil filter

[ctan13]

What is the recommended oil filter for my 4AGE 16v redtop?

I have been using 90915-10001, which to my surprise says "exc. 4A-G" on the side of the packaging box! :confused_smile: Any harm to the engine when using the wrong filter? What about members here with the same type of engine - what filter you use?

Hi ctan13,

The correct oil filter 4 4A-G is coded YZZC6/B6, it's bigger & longer than normal oil filter, price is around RM19/18 4 C6, not sure 4 B6. But not all spareparts shop hv it....u hv to search around, I bought mine at shop at PJ area near hilton/courts mamorth

So 90915-YZZC6 it is. What about 90915-10004? I'm getting conflicting answers here for the B6 ... is this more suitable for the 20Vs and not the 16Vs?

I think as long the filter is meant for 4A-G then should be no problem ma

i use the small one, big one for 4AG cant even go in because it touching my turbo.
only small filter for 4AF enough clearance to go in.
so far no problem le, already 4 years hahaha

should be no problem lar... if we change oil once in a while i dun think we need any expensive filter.

heck.. i change oil every 3000-4000km, cuz i dun drive my car too much since its always short trip from my house to uni. had to change them cuz its been too long. recomended is 3 month change one time? i usually change every 6-8month, usually around 4000km mark, sometime less.
