This is a standard Classic L14610 installed on our 2005 Acura MDX. OCI and FCI are both 3,000 miles due to lots of short-tripping to our kids' school and back. Oil used was conventional Formula Shell 5W-30. Big shame on me for not actually writing down the filter code; I thought it would be visible in the pictures. It was made in 2013.
I observed no tears in the filter media. Pleat spacing was very uniform, except near the metal crimp. I took a picture of the pleating next to the crimp, since that's where the problems seem to show up, but this one was fine. The rubber ADBV was still very pliable and the filter looks like it could have gone another 3,000 miles.
I replaced this with another L14610 from my stash, but that's my last one. I have three OEM Honda A02s and three Purolator PureONE Pl14610s. I bought the Harbor Freight exhaust pipe--nay--oil filter cutter tool on the advice of sayjac and that tool worked beautifully.
