Acura oil filter question

[Taggart]

I have an Acura RSX. The last time I had the oil changed at Walmart they changed the filter but I don't know what kind. Is that ok, or should I buy a filter specifically for the RSX and have the oil change guys use that? Thanks.

if you are that worried about it you probably should be having your oil changed at walmart.

Poor car. I bet they use a fram filter 🙁

They either use their in-house brand (Supertech, made by Champion Labs/STP) or Fram filters as far as I'm aware.

They do use REALLY cheap oil, however. If my car wasn't a burner I'd use M1S.

do the oil change yourself, buy an OEM acura filter

We get the oil changed at walmart for years, no problems yet. 166kmiles on the car which has been at walmart the most (accord) and our volvo gets done there too

This page is good also:

has pretty pictures 😉 note, this is for motorcycle filters, which are really the same if you're looking at build quality.

You could get a mobil one change there for like $30. You could also upgrade to the FRAM XG which has a much bigger oil capacity and has been reviewed as a good filter. I got my last oil change there.
