Went to O'Reilly's Auto for a Microgard MSA81025 and seemed to fit good. Claims twice the capacity and there seemed to be more pleats in the Select filter.

If you're interested in seeing what this filter replaced.

Looks like a filter ... how much was it?
Woops! I clicked to "Air Filters" in my mind but here we are...ha!

$26.99 Retail but I had just gotten an "Orewards" $10 off $20 purchase so the total was $18.47. It does have more media than OEM so I do believe it should have more capacity (You can tell in pic #3). Here's my online receipt total. Speaking of oil filters though I'm really eyeballing the Carquest EP filter for this Navigator. Still can't believe someone would leave a small filter like this in for 73,000 miles especially since it's only three fold down clamps by hand & x1 5/16" nut to get the filter out. I'll check it at 25k or so to see how it's doing.

Off to report my own post... 😁

Oh gosh, thanks for taking the time. The reason I asked is my Honda Civic has a Fram air filter from 2015 (yes, it's been in use 11 years and it's still not that dirty) and it's a green color and says made in Korea. It looks much higher quality than the white color Fram air filters that have been available over the past several years and I was hoping to find the same one somewhere. I was curious if these are the same supplier. I'm probably overthinking it, quality-wise they're probably all the same.
