Honda 15400-PLM-A02 / 15400-RTA-003 Oil Filter Cross Reference

This type of oil filter is not just a common form factor for Honda engines, but they can also be often found on modern Subaru, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, and of course, Honda's own Acura. This even fits a few other brands and some marine applications. The thread diamater is 20mm with a 1.5mm thread pitch. Most of these filters are equipped with an anti-drain-back valve (ADBV) visible through the inlet holes, and a bypass valve of various settings, depending on the brand and model. A select few are equipped with an anti-siphon valve.

The following unofficial cross reference data is information gathered about oil filters from various brands. Any listing with a date code is data taken from an actual in-hand oil filter unless otherwise described in notes. If there is no date code listed, it is general information taken from somewhere online and information like the country of origin should be viewed with even more skepticism. The "Check" date is when the oil filter was last checked. If a date code says "None", that means it was in hand but no date code was found, even when checked with UV light. If you see a part number multiple times, it is because multiple examples have been checked, so changes may be noted. The "Plain" number removes the brand-specific letters and numbers to show the similar/common code among some filters for the same application.

Honda/Acura OEM Filters

You may have noticed that there are multiple OEM oil filters that fit this application. If you've done some research online, you may have seen the different part numbers referred to by companies, and wonder what the differences are or why these options even exist. Here's what you need to know about each:

Fram/Honeywell

When the 15400-PLM-A02 was intruduced, it was produced in a factory owned by Honeywell. However, Honeywell is no longer in the automotive oil filter business. In 1999, a company called Allied Signal, which owned Fram at the time, bought Honeywell and took on that name for itself. Honeywell sold off some of its consumer products divisions in 2011, and Fram was part of that deal, so Fram was only owned by the entity known as Honeywell from 1999 to 2011.

While the Fram factory does produce the 15400-PLM-A02, none of the Fram filters for this application have matching internal parts.

Mahle-Tennex

The 15400-RTA-003 is the Honda filter used in some markets, and is made in Japan.

Filtech/Toyo Roki

Toyo Roki changed its name to ROKI Holding Co., Ltd. and its North American subsidiary, Filtech, Inc. changed its name to Roki America Co., Ltd in 2011. The 15400-PLM-A01 is the part number that the A02 replaced in the North American market.
