Honda 15400-RTA-003 (factory filter) off of my 2020 Honda Civic K20C2.
No tears present, and all pleats are straight. ADBV was very pliable, no cuts. Filter media was not as soft as new (as expected) but did not fall apart or crumble. End caps on good and did not fall off. No excessive glue.
The damage to the top end cap happened while I was cutting the can open. Oil filter looks extremely good for 21,122 miles (March 2020 - March 30,2021) in my opinion.
Ran filter for 2x Maintenance Minder cycles, oil as follows: Factory fill to ~7k, NAPA Full Syn 0W-20 (did not reset MM) changed at 10,901 to M1 EP 0W-20 up until 21,122.
Filter Components:
ADBV Soft and pliable, held oil well since when I cut the can open a lot more came out.
Bypass on bottom end cap:
Bypass indentation/sealing mark on bottom (dome end) end cap:
Top of filter/threaded end:
Inside of can (was not dumped or cleaned, found to be very clean inside, I was quite surprised since many other Cut Opens on here seem to have gunk in the bottom):
Filter Media (note: damage to end cap done during can opening):
I double checked for any tears at the crimp (larger gap) in this picture, and did not find any.
