venting time....

I went to change the oil in my hatch today, using a motormaster (or whatever the canadian tire brand is) filter, I get the old oil out, take off the old filter (quacker state) then I go to try the new on but it does seem to thread on, after several attemps, I figure there is a manufacturing defect in the filter and try another I had (same brand) and same problem, I try the old one, goes on no problem...........just makes me mad because now I have to wait till tomorrow till I can drive my car......I have never had this problem with canadian tire stuff (I have used thier brand, and others from there before)........

you sure you got the right part number?

imported_viper_2_4

ya, when I bought them (both filters) I had the parts guy at the desk get them for me, 2 different times, and both filters have the same number (since the page was missing from the book for honda's).......and I compared it to the old one they are identical (to the eye atleast)....

thats why u come to partsource instead...canadian tire is full of half witted counter monkeys

ive never had a problem with crappy tire filters .... maybe u just had some bad luck... but i always recomend OEM honda filters anyways (but again i dont even use my own advice :P)


better luck next time though

imported_viper_2_4

I have never had a problem either (been using them for 2 years, changing the oil every 3 months or so, and a couple cars, and never had a problem).........till now ofcourse....maybe I should start using quaker state or Fram all the time instead....

Hey....I resent that

However, I'll never use a crappy tire filter, just don't like them.
BTW, Canadian Tire owns Parts Source.

imported_loudsubz

haha people will always make fun of the competition

IMO both have half witted employees

Cynikal.Mindset

actually the company that owns crappy tire owns partsource along with marks work warehouse and others...canadian tire does not own partsource

makin fun of competition is fun!

OEM = no fitment problems.

Yep, OEM filter (cost not much more tahn the one you bought) and something else than Quacker State

Iluvrick

I've never had a problem with motomaster filters...but last year I made the switch to oem.

Will they take something back that has been opened?

imported2nv

oem thats all i have to say.

imported_viper_2_4

I solved the problem, bought an OEM blue one from the honda dealership......went on no problem, and was only $2 more than canadian tire........looks like its the way I am going to go from now on (since price difference is so small)...

The G2 Racer

OEM = filters suck. Made by Fram, do not get me started on Fram.

As for stunned people working at CT. I know it all too well working there.

right? Quaker state?
eheheheh

honda recommended changing OIL every 12,000KM!

So if your changing your oil AND FILTER every 3K on your D15's and D16s, your wasting your money!
