Keep your Honda's variable valve timing system fed with clean oil using the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Filter, MPN SVF104. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1996-2005 Honda Civic and the 1996-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol, screening the engine oil that flows to the VVT solenoid so debris can't reach its small control passages.
This filter sits in the oil path ahead of the VVT solenoid, straining particulates out of the oil that actuates the variable valve timing system. Because the solenoid relies on clean, unobstructed oil flow to shift cam timing accurately, a clogged or degraded filter can restrict that flow.
- Job: Filters the engine oil supplied to the VVT solenoid, trapping contaminants before they reach the solenoid's passages.
- Oil-side component: Works within the engine's oil circuit, not the coolant or fuel side.
- Direct-fit replacement: Designed to replace the filter on the listed Honda applications.
If a restricted or contaminated VVT solenoid filter is the cause of a variable valve timing fault, replacing it restores a clean oil feed to the solenoid. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing, as VVT symptoms can have other sources.
