The internals are crapp. Fram sacrificed quality for increased volume, and profits a looong time ago. Alot of generic filters are frams with a different paint job.

Default oil filter

The Genuine Honda Oil filter, part # 15400-PLM-A01 is made by Filtech, the company that has been making them for a while now, part number 15400-PLM-A02 is made by Fram. I stay away from the A02's and only use the Filtech's. I order them online from H&A Accessories. Here is a pic they had posted a while back comparing the Filtech oil filter to the Fram filter.

I'd say Honda OEM oil filters are the best

I'd say you need to read up some more before making blanket statements like that. Some OEM Honda filters are nothing more than repainted Frams.
