Since the oil filter specification is the same for both engines how could you go wrong. According to rockauto.com the DX and EX both take a Wix 51334.What happens if i use the wrong oil filter on a car?
Take it back and exchange it. If you already installed it, and it isn't leaking anywhere, you're probably OK.
One likely hood is it will not fit and yo will have oil spilling out under the engine and you could burn up the engine.
If it fits it'll probably work.
if it screws up on and tightens then it will work if it don,t leak.
if it matches use it
the worst is you could sieze your engine no biggie
