Does this look like a good OEM oil filter?

With the pics provided, all indications including label on cello cover, looks to be typical Honda A02 OEM (made by Fram) oil filter.

 

[factorytuned2012]

with the spelling of GAASKET It's probably a counterfeit.

Please define "online". That is a valuable clue....

Factorytuned is correct on the spelling on gasket. That is counterfeit. Even the spacing is off between words and Honda puts distinct periods at the end of each of those sentences. Look up this filter on OEM sights and you'll see it doesn't match. Will it work? Possibly.

 

[Sayjac]

Admit, I didn't catch that gasket spelling error. I'll say this, if it is a ruse, with the cello wrap and the Honda OEM label/upc, it's an elaborate one.

As noted, be good know source of purchase for more information.

Is “Honda of America Mfg, Inc” on a dealer parts oil filter?

 

[Escape08]

American made oil filters does not come in sealed plastic wraps

 

[Sayjac]

Honda A02 OEM US (Fram) made oil filters are sealed and dealer sold in a cello wrap with the the Honda A02 label on the wrap. Linked is Honda Dealer College Hills OEM parts site pic as proof. Other Honda OEM parts sites show same.

I purchased one at a local dealer for the CR-V just last week when I was picking up some accessories for my new Civic.

Cellophance wrapped and gasket spelled correctly. Periods at the end of the each sentence in the fitting instructions. "Honda Motor Co., Ltd." on the sticker.

The misspelling makes it suspect.

I see another confirmation that the Fram US/(American) made Honda A02 is cello wrapped, similar to topic. Not that I needed it.

Hindsight, obviously for whatever reason or reasons OP thought the filters suspect. Still would like more info on purchase source. Also really like to see c&p to see how much further seller went to make it look authentic.

So there is a Honda of America Mfg, Inc logo on a real one. I thought they bought them from Fram.

...I thought they bought them from Fram.

Fram US makes the A02 OEM for Honda to Honda's specifications.

 

[Hootbro]

That is funny. Cut it open and let's see the guts.

Yes, and Honda buys them. I thought the Honda of America Mfg sounded odd, but it has been the name since 1979.

 

[ZeeOSix]

They even faked the date code.

 

[Suzuki-2000]

Bought on ebay will do cut/post

 

[malibuguy79]

genuine Honda a02 from the dealer parts counter with wrap (only pic I have of it)

Anything on eBay is presumed to be counterfeit nowadays
