Honda A02 filter bypass valve pressure?

[ApexEight]

What PSI does the bypass valve open on these filters?

Straight off memory, it was 8-11 psi for pretty much every Honda filter since forever.

The A02 is identical to the Fram EG which has its bypass valve pressure listed at 9-15 psi on Fram's website. Interestingly, the Fram Ultra is listed at 13 psi.

I wouldn't say the Honda A02 is "identical" to the Fram EG just because Fram makes the Honda OE filter and they look similar inside. Honda could have specified a different bypass valve setting. Only way to verify it to test the actual bypass valves out of each filter.

The middle of the 9-15 PSI range is 12 PSI, so it could just be the way Fram states the bypass setting (?). They don't show a range on the XG setting.
