Have you checked the filter it's self. It could be a bad filter. I had one explode on my saab once because of a faulty filter. Whoever changed your oil last may not have put the filter on correctly. My .02

I knew it!
I would never go over 3,000mile without changing the Oil and filter.
I know Honda says you can go longer, but you risk things like this happening.
