yup you can find them at the dealership. get them your year and model and they will have it there for sure because these are the same for many honda models. Think the dealer around me cost about $8 each. Parts number 15400 PLM A01

EDIT: filter part number 15400-PLM-A01 is the same as 15400-PLM-A02. except honda switch manufacturers

Thanks guys, I think im going to stick with the oil my oil cap refers. Did much research online and that seems like the safe bet and probably go with synthetic and a OEM filter.

if you want "proof", cut one apart, look inside, and compare it to others like K&N, purolator, mobil1. It's garbage.

because it's quite obvious that when your filter is made of cardboard, you have a piece of **** filter.
