Honda Oil Filter

The Honda oil filter, with part number 15400-PLM-A02, is a genuine OEM component designed to maintain the cleanliness of your engine's lubricating oil. Its primary function is to capture impurities and debris that accumulate within the motor oil as it circulates and lubricates critical engine components, thereby helping to extend engine life and performance. This oil filter serves as a direct replacement for numerous other Honda part numbers, including 15400-P0H-305, 15400-PLC-003, 15400-PLC-004, 15400-PLM-A01, 15400-RBA-F01, 15400-RTA-003, and 15400-RTA-004. The 15400-PLM-A02 is known to be compatible with a wide range of Honda vehicles manufactured between the model years 2000 and 2021. Discussions among enthusiasts suggest that while the A01 filter (often made by Filtech) was previously considered superior due to more pleats and specific valve designs, the A02 (often made by Honeywell/Fram) is also a reliable OEM option. The A01 filter has been noted as discontinued by some sources. While specific application data is not universally available for this filter across all platforms, it is generally understood to fit approximately 99% of Honda-made vehicles, with only a few exceptions having proprietary filters. Some sources indicate compatibility with Honda GX series engines and marine applications as well. It's always recommended to consult with a Honda dealer or a comprehensive fitment guide to ensure exact compatibility for your specific vehicle model and engine configuration.
