Thanks guys. I went with the Fram Ultra.
Most efficient oil filter for Valvoline Premium Blue Restore Treatment

Are you taking some pictures of the before and after? Like anything you can see. Down the oil filler. Condition of the oil on the dipstick. How fast it gets dark compared to usual. Stuff like that would be interesting to follow along
Michael, you know what's kinda funny?
The K24 is also in Sue's 2006 TSX with almost 200K miles.
It has been on a steady diet of mostly Mobil1 5w30 and some 5w20 since new.
Filters have been WIX and M1; just started using a Fram.
I never check the oil. I do something like 6K OCIs.
Other than a water pump, alternator and PS pump, I have only done regular maintenance.
I did get the starter replaced and valves adjusted. (I am not recovered from surgery as yet).
The mechanic (one of the best in the South Bay) could not believe how clean it was under the valve cover.
I wonder what the difference is?

Probably the usage of synthetic oil since day 1. This particular engine did not see any synthetic oil until 90K miles.
