The Honda Genuine Oil Filter 15400-RTA-003/4 traps microscopic contaminants to prevent internal engine wear. It utilizes a M20 x 1.5-6H thread size for a precise fit on K-Series and R-Series blocks. This Japanese-made component fits Honda Accord, Civic, and CR-V models for standard maintenance intervals.
Key Features
- Silicone Anti-Drain Valve: Heat-resistant silicone seal prevents oil from draining into the pan. It keeps the upper engine lubricated during cold starts.
- Metal Internal Core: High-strength steel center tube resists pressure-induced collapse. The filter maintains its shape during high-RPM operation.
- Japanese Manufacturing: Precision assembly by Toyo Roki or Mahle in Japan. Tight tolerances prevent oil leaks despite road dust and vibration.
- Precision Threading: M20 x 1.5-6H metric threads ensure a secure block attachment. The filter won't loosen or strip during heavy engine vibrations.
