Providing a high level of filtering and preventing pressure drop is a difficult task in oil filter design. Mugen has accomplished both with their new high performance oil filter. With the factory Honda filter as the benchmark, Mugen’s design has resulted in a 30% improvement in filter efficiency and at the same time a 10% reduction in pressure drop.

This as been achieved by optimizing filtering surface area, filter configuration, and incorporating a new filter material. The new filter utilizes a “Y” shaped cross section, compared to the stock filter’s round cross section, which forces more particulate to stick on the filter material. The gasket and anti drain materails have also been changed for use in high temperature environments.
