Just as a point of information, 'personally' NEVER seen a Honda dealer follow the A,B MM procedure 'as SOP', not changing the oil filter with an oil change. I suppose one could ask for filter delete, but I'm sure generally speaking some strange looks would ensue. Obviously changing the filter each time does 'not' void your Honda warranty. Otoh, following the Honda OM rec fine for warranty too.Never buy a Honda and follow their maintenance schedule.
I've done 'two' oci on Hondas using the 'original OG Ultra' and Bosch Distance Plus to 13-14k mi. total, a couple times. No worries whatsoever, filters looked great post use. Normally though thought is, I'm under the vehicle to grab drain plug, might as well change the filter too.
To topic, warranty considerations aside two ~5k ocis with a premium filter should be fine. Whether one goes 3 or 4 ocis that interval? Guess that depends on how one views cost benefit or roi of using the OF that many times.
