Question Air Filter Change ??

I recently did my 30K oil change & filter. From posts here - I knew how to change the cabin air filter which I found at Wal-Mart. However, I could not find the engine air filter at the auto parts store or Wal-Mart. I bought one at my Honda dealer's - now where do I find this puppy?? Anybody do this yet?

Another question is about the 0W20 oil. In my first two oil changes, I used Mobil 1, a full synthetic 0W20 which I found at Wal-Mart. I recently looked in several area Wal-Marts and several auto parts stores and could not find any brands of 0W20 oil. I searched on-line at Mobile's website and found some at a Wal-Mart about 40 miles away. I bought their last 7 quarts. Does anyone know if this can be ordered on-line from any supplier?

Thanks,

.

Supposedly, NAPA autoparts still has massive amounts in their warehouses. However, doing a quick search of their (very poor) website suggests you'll have to actually go to a store and order it there, as the search tool only turned up 5W20 options. Also no hits on AutoZone's website, but if you go to Mobil's site and hit their Where to buy link, it does at least turn up one store for me here in Columbus.

Someday I might even beat that wascally kenny!

At Bernardiparts.com, Bernardi Honda's parts site, you can order the air filters cheap (~$13 if I remember) and they have (or had the last time) Mobil 1 0W20 for 5.99/ qt.

Bond, Standing outside looking at your engine. Note the black cover over the engine. Look to the right and there is a small box about 10"x10" with a 3" rubber pipe comming out and going into the fuel system of the engine. There are snaps at each corner of this 10x10 box. Unsnap the snaps, then lift the cover a inch or so and you should be able to see the filter lying in the bottom part of the box. Remove the old filter and replace the new one. Make sure it is right side up! Good luck, H

I've ordered air and cabin filters from fleetfilters.com and have been very happy. I've also seen that handa-accessories.com carries both OEM filters. Here's the direct link for the air filter ($13.45/filter): http://www.handa-accessories.com/civ...airfilter.html

As for the oil, you might want to find an Amsoil dealer near you for their 0W-20 syn. I've heard is a very good oil. Or go to a Napa Auto store to have them order it for you. I think they can order the M1 or Amsoil 0W-20. Hope this helps you...

Peace,
Paul
