Default oil filter (wow that sucks)

after all this time of using oem honda filters THINKING they were good.... you guys were right they are in fact made by fram. i was shocked when i took off the filter and actualy read it.. its stamped right on there adn i never even noticed... how disapointing...

so i went with K&N which im sure is better than fram...

thanks for pointing that out to me

K&N costs a little more... but that 1" hex on the back makes taking the filter off a B series so easy.

that doesnt really mean anything though. Fram still has to make it to hondas specifications. It wouldnt matter who was making it cause Honda would want it the same no matter who was manufacturing it. So I hope by you seeing that fram made it doesnt make you think that OEM filters are of the same make and quality as a Fram orange filter.

Cut one open. They're the same as the cheap Frams.

i actualy saved my "manufactured by fram" honda filter and maybe i will do just that to set this to rest.. lol

even IF its not as shitty as the orange one... that doesn't say much... i still would not invest any hope in something manufactured by such a shit company...
