which oil filter?

[ABPDE5]

S2000 filter is not the same as the ITS and most newer Honda/Acura.

It's different, but is it compatible?

Never looked in details, but it is larger physically.

S2K filters are the same thread so it fits. The only issue would be is if it fits size wise because as stated it is physically wider. People use to buy them because it was “better quality and increases oil pressure”. I believe they recently switch part numbers and use a new manufacturer.

At least I know the S2000 oil filter color has changed this year when I bought one, compared to last year.

The S2K filter (PCX) did not fit... clearance issues. It was close. I know it fits older K-Series (A/Z, etc.).

Since I had both on hand, here is the outside appearance between the Honeywell/Fram (15400-PLM-A02) vs the Mahle Filter (15400-RTA-003).

15400-PLM-A02 is made in the US
15400-RTA-003 is made in Japan
Mahle filter on the left, Fram filter on the right
Last photo is a close up of the Mahle filter. There is a slight blue hue color difference.
