Trying to figure out the right oil, sparkplugs and filters for my f22. K&N air filter is 50$ is it really that much more better than sTp or FRAM? Cause there about 13$ as far as spark plugs, the guy at autozone said I should use copper cause that's what the motor calls for, and that the other 7$ ones ( I think he said platinum ) will run my motor too hot. The guy at pepboys told me I should run those special 7$ plugs for more/smoother power delivery. And last, what type of oil and oil filter would you guys recommend?

The K&N is reusable (you can clean it and re-oil it. I don't know about the STP or fram ones...
I don't know anything about those spark plugs.. sorry.
As for oil and filter: I use Castrol GTX 5W-30 and honda OEM filters.
and for fuel injector cleaner I use Lucus Oil injector cleaner.
Hope that helps

it depends on how much you want to spent bro, if you really want quality stuff go with k&n if your in a low budget get the cheapest one, as for spark plugs go with NGK vpower.AT WEST COAST MEET

Here is my 2 cents
get a cheap short ram and install an AEM filter (alot better than K&N)
spark plugs (NGK)
spark plug wires (decent quality)
distributer rotor
distributor cap
change engine oil
replace oil filter with a cloth type filter (one thats more than $5)
change tranny fluid (if AT also replace filter)
flush coolant
top off brake fluid
top off clutch fluid if you have MT
seafoam/or run injector cleaner
I do this every year to keep my CB7 running strongOriginally posted by GummiegorillaDamn CBs are like a Rubix Cube sometimes !!!!

I've been researching the seafoam, and I've realized you can use it as a fuel additive, or pour it right in the intake?? I've seen the procedure done on a garb but not fuel injection. Could you describe the seafoam process on an f22? And when you say cloth oil filter, what's a good brand? Im in the dark on oil filters... well on a lot of things actually! Thanx.

Sure, seafoam is most effective when used directly in your intake.
> Unplug the brake booster vacuum line this is the one all the way behind your plenum that runs to the black cylinder behind your brake master cylinder (unplug in the middle of it)
> Start your car
> Gently pour a 1/3 of the bottle in the vacuum leading to your engine (if you hear the engine bogging stop pouring for a second)
> Stop the engine let it sit for 10 min
> Start the engine and let all of the smoke out
Now oil filters come in different qualities.
You have cheap paper element filters kind of like your air filter, and than you have nicer filters like K&N (yes they also make oil filters), Mobil 1, and nicer purilators. $7-$15 for a nice one
So imagine this, Try picking up spilled oil with a brown paper bag, than try to pick up that oil with a bounty paper towel, and last try to pick up the oil with a cotton pad (soft fluffy cotton) What do you notice?
> The paper bag takes a while to absorb and just rubs the oil around the surface
> The bounty picks the oil up and leaves little behind
> The cotton also picks up the majority of the oil and leaves little behind
When oil goes through your filter it needs to be filtered and also keep a good flow. This happens from the material used inside of the filter. If the filter uses that brown paper bag it would absorb little contaminant. The paper towel would filter great but would reduce the oil flow. The cotton would absorb the oil to filter it and due to the fact that it is porous, it will allow the oil to pass through easily, thus resulting in an efficient filtering process.
I hope this helps.Originally posted by GummiegorillaDamn CBs are like a Rubix Cube sometimes !!!!
