Personally all manufacturers are a rip off, there's hardly any difference between manufacturers products and products from a spare part shop.
Only difference is a thicker case and welded on nut for removal. It's designed for off road use to prevent punctures. Inside it's the same as any comparable high quality filter.
Use wix
Honda dealer makes a lot of money on parts. A K&N or Fram or Wix is just as good.
K&n are far superior products than stock
Engine oil filters are "designed" to catch particles suspended in the engine oil.
now imagine where does the particles come from.
1. Tear and wear meaning very very tiny metal shavings from all metal parts where there's friction inside the engine.
2. Blow by --> meaning carbon particulates and unburnt gasoline that never escaped the combustion chamber by the exhaust pipe but made it through the piston rings all the way down to the crank case. This is actually what causes the engine oil to turn dark as the mileage increases.
story short. If the engine is worn out and old or if the oil change intervals were neglected a good E.O.F will do you no good. This you will know if the engine oil gets really dark very soon after you changed it with fresh new engine oil.

Honda filter is designed with correct pressure bypass valve for your car. Rather than obsess on which filter do the oil and filter service regularly. Just avoid what Jiffy Lube puts in.
- What oil filter to use for a 2013 Honda Odyssey? I like the idea of using a really good one like Mobil1 Extended Performance or Purolator Boss, but would those be too restrictive for my engine?

- Where can I find a good reference for how to change my Honda cb500 Four motorcycle oil and filter? I have a 1973 (i think) Honda cb500 motorcycle and want to change the oil and filter but am unsure of how.
- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
