Actually when new, the Honda dealer didn't have the new 7317/14610 size yet and was using the older/larger Honda filter for several oil changes done at the dealer. I know it doesn't make very much difference but the sump is relatively small in the Civic and I feel any little extra oil capacity can't hurt.

I've used both sizes interchangeably though.
Interesting...
I've used the 7317 in my Acura before (that calls for the 3593a/1334 size) with no issues, so I figured it could probably work the other way around on my girlfriend's Civic. It would be nice to just stock one filter in my stash instead of getting two different part numbers all the time.
