oil filter ****

ok the new filters i noticed that theres a fram filter and a filtech filter whats up with that? Is the fram just a fram filter with honda emblem and blue paint or is it made to honda specs? my car came with the filtech and now i had to use the fram that the dealer gave me so yeh whats the difference

My original filter was made by Fram for Honda. Since then I've gone back to my dealer and purchased only the filters made by Filtech.

Honeywell is the parent company of Fram. Honeywell manufactures Honda oil filters as well as Filtech and Toyo Roki in Japan. The Honda filters are the Fram Toughguard which is a better filter than the Extraguard that you buy at WalMart.

There is a lot of negativity towards Fram filters because of their cardboard endcaps. But, if Honda has their confidence in them and confides their powertrain warranty in the Frams, why shouldn't we?
