Mahle Knecht Oil Filter OC617 – Successor to OC115
Mahle Knecht OC617 oil filter is the direct successor to the OC115 model, offering the same OE-quality filtration with updated internal media and construction. This is the filter we stock and ship for customers needing a reliable service part for their Honda petrol engines.
If you previously bought OC115, the OC617 is the correct current equivalent. It fits a broad range of Honda models with petrol engines, from older Civics and Accords to newer CR-Vs and Jazz generations.

When to Replace
Change the filter every time you change the engine oil. A clogged or collapsed filter reduces oil pressure, accelerates engine wear, and can cause permanent damage to bearings and the valvetrain.
- Oil pressure warning light flickers at idle
- Engine runs noticeably louder or develops a top-end rattle
- Filter housing is visibly dented, rusted or leaking at the seal
- Oil change interval has been exceeded
Installation and Service Tips
- Lightly coat the new rubber gasket with clean engine oil before fitting
- Hand-tighten only — use a filter wrench to remove, never to install
- After oil and filter change, crank the engine, wait for the oil pressure light to go out, then check for leaks
- Always dispose of the old filter responsibly — it holds residual oil
FAQ – Mahle Knecht OC617
Is the OC617 physically different from the old OC115?
It may look slightly different — updated pleat design and canister finish — but the thread, gasket diameter and bypass valve rating are identical, so it screws straight on where OC115 was specified.
Does this fit hybrids, or is it only for normal petrol engines?
It fits the petrol-engine portion of Honda hybrids that use a conventional spin-on filter. For later e:HEV systems with Atkinson-cycle engines, check your specific engine configuration first.
Can I use this filter on a tuned or modified engine?
Yes — it is a full-flow filter designed for standard and mildly modified engines. For high-power forced-induction builds, consider dedicated high-flow options.
