I wouldn't use any other, as they generally are just a "cheap replacement" Play it safe and use what Honda intended, btw check out HAMP filter they are used in Japan on the Type R and Type S models, however they are $3-5 more than regular filters. You might also try using the S2000 filters, from what I was told becuase the S2k is a high revving motor it needs the better filter(makes sense) to eliminate engine oil debris, those are about the same price as regular.

Somewhere I read that FRAM filters and others along those lines are actually risky to use in any car.
