I did a search for this matter ...but most are for pre 2.4L engine .I have a 2009 Vibe 1sc with 2.4L : same engine as the Vibe awd & GT ....problem is ,for my 2 last oil changes I was recommend 2 different oil filters .....Fram ph3614 & Fram ph 2951 wich is right?what are you using? which brand? (p/n)all the posts I have read are about the pre 2.4L engine and are base & GT cars (all 1.8L ) (1zz & 2zz code engines )thanksDan ,

purolator doesnt show one for the 2009, but K&N does. Why not go grab one from a toyota dealer for the 2.4l matrix, be cheap too.

The PH3614 is correct for the 2.4. Personally, I wouldn't use a fram filter, I've read bad things about them. Other options are the Purolator Pure One-PL14477 or K&N - HP1003 or Mobil1 - M1103. I use the K&N if its in stock or the Purolator Pure One, never had a problem with either.

I cut a fram filter apart one day ( a new one ) and was shocked to see how cheap they were inside, cardboard holding the pleats together on top and bottom. stick with OE!

just a quick update, the Honda oil filter removal tool ( cup shaped item ) works perfect on the 2.4 litre oil filter
