Good rainy afternoon folks. I came home Friday to this oil filter and another HONDA oil filter on my porch. This one was off of a Honda Accord 2018 with M1 0w20 EP for 9,xxx miles. Girlfriends co workers vehicle with 59k on odometer. Note said she put a fram ultra on with some M1 0w20 EP.

Do you know the source of the filter? was it purchased from a honda dealer, ebay etc?

It seems to have held up quite well.

Thanks for the C&P Adam

Looks good ... the end caps look thicker and stiffer than most filters with non-metal end caps.

Duck, 53, how is the seam joined?

I cant really tell but it looks like its pressed and glued with some waffle weave pattern?

The Ao2 it had a metal seam clamp which I liked. (liked is a big word - I think they are both mid grade at best)

UncleDave: it appeared to be glued

I agree, mighty mouse has another one that I linked I'm the other thread that you can see it a bit better in, it looks like it might even be folded and glued. I will try to remember to pull the one i cut out and have a closer look.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if that's preference or if they have noticed the 'thinner' ones might be a liability on long run OCI.
