CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed May 26, 2026

TL;DR No test method backs Denso's '90% efficiency' claim — stated with no cited standard. A BITOG cut-open confirmed the silicone ADBV exceptionally pliable at 7,750 miles; 5,000–7,500 mile interval.

What it is and how it performs

Spin-on filter with dual-layer cellulose-synthetic blended media rated to 5,000–7,500 miles. No SAE J1858 or ISO 16889 data exists; Denso's '90% efficiency' claim names no test standard. A 2019 BITOG cut-open confirmed the silicone ADBV as the most pliable encountered — adhered to threads, required a flat-head to remove. Bypass valve OEM-equivalent per manufacturer, not independently confirmed. Fitment spans 54 cross-reference lines across Honda, Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda; no thread-mismatch reports found.

Who should buy this — and who should skip it

Right pick for Honda, Subaru, Nissan, or Mazda owners doing 5,000–7,500 mile changes who want community-verified construction and confirmed ADBV quality. Amazon add-on item — check whether your cart meets the minimum qualifying order threshold before buying solo. Skip if you need extended-drain coverage beyond 7,500 miles.

Safety and environmental impact

Spin-on oil filter — no chemical exposure pathway from the filter itself. Spent filters contain residual motor oil, a hazardous waste in most US jurisdictions; drained filters are accepted at most automotive parts stores.

Frequently asked questions

What vehicles does the Denso 150-2002 fit?

The 150-2002 fits a wide range of vehicles including Honda Insight (2000–2006), Nissan Sentra (2007–2008, 2011–2015), Subaru Outback (2000–2012), Subaru Impreza (1993–2014), Subaru Forester (1998–2013), Subaru Legacy, and Mazda and Infiniti applications. With 54 cross-reference lines, always confirm fitment against your specific year/engine using the Denso application guide at densoproducts.com.

Does the Denso 150-2002 have an anti-drain-back valve?

Yes. A 2019 BITOG cut-open review (after 7,750 miles on a Mazda CX-5) confirmed the silicone ADBV was exceptionally pliable and adhered firmly to the threads — the reviewer rated it the most pliable ADBV encountered. No ADBV failure reports have been documented in available community data.

Is the Denso 150-2002 an Amazon add-on item?

Yes — the 150-2002 (ASIN B0153B43BW) is an Amazon add-on item. It requires meeting a minimum qualifying order threshold or Subscribe & Save to purchase as a standalone item. Plan your oil change order to include other items, or use Subscribe & Save on a recurring oil-change schedule.

What is the service interval for the Denso 150-2002?

Denso rates the 150-2002 for a standard 5,000–7,500 mile service interval with conventional or semi-synthetic oil. The dual-layer media is not marketed or rated for extended drain intervals of 10,000+ miles.

What is the filtration efficiency of the Denso 150-2002?

Denso stated '90% efficiency' in response to a BITOG forum inquiry, but cited no test method — no SAE J1858, ISO 16889, or named proprietary standard was named. Without a cited test method, this figure is unverified marketing copy, not independently evidenced filtration data.

Where is the Denso 150-2002 made?

The 150-2002 is manufactured in China, confirmed by a BITOG cut-open reviewer who noted 'Made in China' on the unit. Manufacturer cross-section images show a red ADBV; the BITOG unit had a black silicone ADBV — both are silicone, likely a production-run variant.
