Honda K Series Oil Filter - 15400-PLM-A01
You're changing the oil in your Honda or Acura and you need a fresh filter? Part number 15400-PLM-A01 is the OEM oil filter that fits a huge range of Honda and Acura vehicles from 1984-2026. This filter threads onto the block and traps all the metal shavings, carbon deposits, and dirt that builds up in your oil as it circulates through the engine. When the filter's clogged or old, it can't catch debris anymore and that junk starts circulating through your bearings and wearing out your engine. A fresh filter every oil change keeps your oil clean and your engine running right. We offer this filter individually or as a 6-pack so you've got filters on hand for your next few oil changes and you're not making a parts run every time.
Here's What the Oil Filter Actually Does
Your engine oil picks up metal particles from normal wear, carbon from combustion blowby, and dirt that gets past the air filter. All that contamination stays suspended in the oil. The oil filter catches it before the oil gets pumped back through the engine. Inside the filter there's a pleated paper element that the oil flows through. The paper traps particles while letting clean oil pass through to the bearings, cams, and crank. Over time the filter fills up with debris. Once it's full, the bypass valve opens and unfiltered oil circulates through the engine. That's why you change the filter with every oil change. A clogged filter's worse than no filter because you think you're protected but you're actually running dirty oil through your bearings.
OEM Filters vs Cheap Ones
You can grab oil filters at any parts store for half what the OEM filter costs. Some work fine. Most use cheaper filter media that doesn't catch small particles as well or breaks down faster. The OEM Honda filter uses the filter media and bypass valve pressure spec that Honda designed the engine around. It catches the particle sizes that matter and it holds up for the full oil change interval. Cheap filters might work okay for 3,000 miles but if you're running longer intervals like 5k-7k miles, the filter media can break down and stop filtering properly. The valve can also stick or fail. You're running unfiltered oil without knowing it. OEM filters cost a few bucks more but they're built to the same spec as what came with your car. That matters when you're trying to make your engine last 200k+ miles.
Replaces Multiple Factory Part Numbers
This filter replaces several different Honda part numbers that were used over the years: 15400-P0H-305, 15400-PLC-003, 15400-PLC-004, 15400-PLM-A01, 15400-RBA-F01, 15400-RTA-003, and 15400-RTA-004. All of those are the same filter with different part numbers depending on the model year and application. If your Honda or Acura originally came with any of those part numbers, this filter's the direct replacement. You're not cross-referencing or guessing if it fits. It's the same filter.
Available Individually or as a 6-Pack
We sell this filter individually if you just need one for your current oil change. We also offer it as a 6-pack. If you're doing your own oil changes, buying a 6-pack means you've got filters on hand for the next year or two and you're not making a parts run every time. It's also cheaper per filter when you buy the pack. If you're running multiple Hondas or Acuras or you're doing oil changes for friends, the 6-pack makes sense. You've got filters in the garage ready to go.

Note: Change your oil filter every time you change your oil. Don't reuse filters or try to stretch them past one oil change. The filter media breaks down and stops catching particles effectively. When you're installing the filter, hand-tighten it after the gasket makes contact with the block. Don't use a filter wrench to install it or you'll over-tighten it and crush the gasket. That causes leaks. Snug it down by hand and that's enough. After you've changed the oil and filter, start the engine and let it run for a minute, then check for leaks around the filter. If it's leaking, shut the engine off and tighten it slightly. Don't crank it down. If you're still getting leaks, the gasket might be damaged or you've got debris on the sealing surface. Pull the filter, clean the block surface, check the gasket, and reinstall. Use the oil change interval that makes sense for how you drive. If you're doing short trips and city driving, 5k miles is reasonable. If you're doing highway miles, 7k-8k is fine with good synthetic oil. Just don't push it past 10k even with synthetic. Oil breaks down and the filter fills up. Change both and your engine lasts.
