Honda Oil Filter 15400-RTA-003

I have been looking for filters for my Hondas because my usual choices moved production to China. I stumbled across this Video that validates that these are actually made in Japan by MAHLE!

Watch the Video, you will see the Nissan and Honda filters on the production line.

Yes, but where can you actually purchase one and not get the -PLM-002 substituted?

the best OEM Honda oil filter is the one Purflux makes for Europe

Honda 15400-RBA-F01
Purflux LS350

If you still want Mahle, you could always get an aftermarket Mahle

I could not find the Purflux for a good price, and the Mahle is another one that sent production to Mexico or China.

Honestly, for a Honda, I'd just use any aftermarket Fram 7317. The aftermarket Frams are better than even the OE Honda A02

If you don't like Fram, use the Full 2-OHD004 from Napa.

In my experience, Honda Oil Filters that are/were installed at assembly are/were made by FIL-TEC. But the ones that you get at a Honda Dealership is a FRAM Tough Guard painted Honda Blue.
