That must be why it's so similar to the Japanese Honda Toyo Roki filter. Never knew that it was the same company.

It looks like some filter cut a bit harder than others.
Is there not an Amsoil EaO filter available? I hate to say this, but this was a lot of work to determine who is the best mediocrity in oil filters...
Again, NO affiliation with Amsoil, but why even bother with other oil filters at this point, unless, that is, there is no EaO filter available for your particular vehicle...

IT appears like the Fram TG uses more filer media than the regular Fram. In general it looks like the cheaper filters(value craft , super tech etc.) don't use as much filering media.
it is hard to say from the pictures but if you could take the media out, flaten it and measure the length you would know for sure.
If a filter has more filtering surface area (everything else being equal) I would assume the oil will have less resistance flowing through it and it would last longer.
I mostly used the Fram TG series on my 3.8liter Ford with 6k OCI for over 200k miles with no issues. I recall it did have a silicone rubber gasket but the picture looks like it doesn't. Maybey they recently dropped it to save money.
Nice work!

jms,
Really nice job, especially how they were organized and photo'ed.

Good point George, is it possible that some people don't know about the EAO filter?

This Honda Filtech (Toyo Roki) looks nearly identical to the OEM Nissan filters I've been using, even the Chinese made ones I recently posted about. I've heard Denso makes the Nissan's, but it makes me wonder if these guys make them. Or maybe they just use similar designs.
A related post in another non honda titled thread that may help some people here just incase they may not see the other thread. http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/s...ge=0#Post984514
Mobil 1, K&N, Supertech ,and AC Delco should all look similar because they are all made by Champion Labs, the Mobil and K&N are the better of the four though. But if you're looking for the best filter pound for pound for the cheapest price, go with Supertech. They may be inexpensive, but thats the only thing "cheap about them"
