So the PG4612EX is a somewhat longer that the average Fram shorty 6607 shown. Purolator lists their shorty 6607 equivalent PL/L14612 as 2.9" in length. In my experience primarily with A02 equivalent 7317 most recently with Purolator PL/L14610 and equivalents (Bosch 3323), are 3.5" long and that matches the Purolator specs listing. I also happen to have a couple CQ Blue 84356 (7317 Honda equivalent) here that measures 3.4" in length, using digital caliper. So, while PG longer than the Fram anecdotes, as noted, in my observation not the Honda A02 equivalent 7317 applications. That said, never criticized the choice, just pointing out the difference in length vs 7317 application.
