I see Honda makes two different oil filters for the Acura TL and Honda Accord. One has a suffix of A01 and the other has a suffix of A02. What is the difference (if any). Thanks.

From what I've read, A01 = Filtech, A02 = Fram.

I think you could get a better filter for less money. I really prefer the Filtechs however, I have 5 of them actually right now. I have a friend that works at an Acura dealership that could get you some of the Filtechs for $4 each if you're interested, let me knowI've also used Napa Gold, SuperTech and Valvoline filters on my car, and they've both worked fine as well, although I actually prefer the SuperTech because of it's size and price, and it's easy to find because Wal-Marts are everywhere.

Can you confirm this with your friend?
I was hitting up dealers for the A01 Filtech filters a while back. All everyone has around here is the A02 Frams. The parts guy told me that they (Honda) will be coming out with a new A03 later this year. The contract with Fram is about up, and who knows which company will make the A03 filters.
I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but if it's true, it might be the end of Honda Frams!
Thanks,
Brian
