This filter was on our '15 Fit for roughly 9,100 miles (Maintenance Minder indicated 15% when I changed it last weekend). It was in service for 7 months since September, so it went through fall and winter here in northern NJ. The oil was QSUD 0W-20 and cost was $3.77 from Walmart.
I normally use a Dremel to cut filters but I decided to try snips this time, hence the jagged cuts. I know the photos are not the greatest, but I was in a bit of a hurry, the lighting in the garage was lacking, and I was trying to avoid getting oil all over my phone.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with how this filter held up. The pleats are straight and relatively even, with no tears or holes in the media. The nitrile ADBV was still pliable and holding oil, and there was a visible indentation where the bypass valve sealed against the end cap.
