FRAM has been making the OEM filters for Honda since at least 2016. I used to be a stickler for OEM filters. Now, I just go with a reputable aftermarket brand, and make sure that I change my oil ever 6 months. I also use 100% synthetic. Unless something goes catastrophically sideways, I see nothing wrong with the way I am doing it, and I save a tonne of money.
Fram is usually ok in the USA. Wix sucks. K&n is meh. 2 different kinds with those and they're usually identical to Bosch. Bosch generally is meh. They're all usually meh tbh
The filter should go by the OEM number for your car. Knowing if the by pass valve is working properly is a good quastion?? To be on the safe side keep your oil clean by changing it on time.
@@sunilayya8948 You mean that the bypass will be open most of the time? All the more reason to keep an eye on the condition of the oil by the dip stick. If the bypass is not work as it should then the oil preasure light should give warning.
Want your engine to last? Change the oil at 5000 to 7500 miles. 7500 being for synthetic. Don't EVER follow the 10 000 mile or the 15 000 mile intervals. Use reputable name brand filters and good oil. That's it. Nothing more needed.
Many of the "OEM" filters have been opened and proven to be no better and sometimes not as good as aftermarket filters. Go look at GM's AC/Delco, most are the same as the basic Supertech filter, even toyota, honda, mopar have been shown to not always be any better than aftermarket. So, just b/c you buy it a dealer, doesn't always mean it's better.
Do you understand what this video is about, it's about counterfeit filters. In other words, it's regarding filters being sold as one brand say OEM, when they are in fact counterfeit.
Counterfeit oil filters, the best oil filters for use on honda and toyota autos, and lets see how long their engines hold up, with steady use of the counterfeit filter uses.
I just accomplished the first 10,000 mile service on my RAV4 Toyota made in Canada, and the oil filter I removed was a knock off, installed at the factory. Or at least the indications to identify it as a knock off are present. I purchased a replacement filter from the Toyota dealer and the counter fit markings on the one I purchased from Toyota are not present , indicating the Toyota dealer replacement was real. Just FYI
Not one single Volkswagen air cooled engine was equipped with an oil filter. They only had a screen in the sump. They literally made millions of cars with those engines, so there’s that.
Lots of filters are sold on Amazon and eBay now, under brand names that you think are legit. For example, you buy a TOYOTA OEM oil filter on Amazon, or so you thought. Most OEM filters sold on Amazon are counterfeit and best to purchase them from Walmart or your dealership instead. Basically if you're gonna go OEM, just go to the dealership, otherwise go to a parts store and stay away from the e-commerce methods.
I use K&N oil filters because after 4000 miles I can remove them , drain them really well , wipe them off and put them back in the box ....then sell them to my neighbor for $8 as a new filter .... lucky on me he has the same car as me and ain't real quick upstairs .
I don't use genuine oil filters. I only buy Mahle Filters. I know that most car manufacturers let their genuine oil filters made by Mahle. I never had any problems in the last 20 years. But I don't buy noname filters. And change your oil once a year or every 15000 km without flushing your engine with Diesel. This can kill your engine.

Hi warpedweirdo. What kind of additional information are you after? To summarise is a single sentence, if you are buying an oil filter, your cars brands local dealer is the only way to guarantee you are getting genuine.

@@walterk1221 Wrong! Auto manufactures like GM, Ford, Toyota and so on do not make oil filters, their oil filters are made by companies like Wix, Purolator, AC Delco, Donaldson and more. I use Wix oil and air filters in all of my personal vehicles, Wix makes excellent products. This video is misleading at best, instead maybe advise automobile owners to open their owners manual and read.
this video is parcially right...bypass no only opens when pressure rises cause of clogged filtering media by dirt oil...the bypass valve opens ALWAYS when the oil is at normal temp like when its the first start of the day...the oil at that temp cant pass through the paper no matter how thin it be like 5w30 let alone a 20w50...the oil only passes through paper when the engine warms up and the oil gets hot and has less viscosity.. to me the by pass valve is the most important part ...some fram oil filters dont even have a bypass valve thats insane
who is buying fake filters? they are so cheap to buy and there are so many aftermarket brands (in the UK mann & bosch are good cheap alternatives). why are you recommending people buy vehicle make branded filters? the vehicle maker does not make the filter, they will buy it from companies like mann and then stamp their logo on it.
Genuine does not mean OEM. It just means that what it says on the label is what it really is. A Purolator or Wix filter is genuine... a cheap filter made to look like Purolator or Wix is not.
I think OEM quality filters are good enough, they might be the same as the original filter. These aftermarket brands manufacture these filters like mahle... they were mentioning counterfreight, clone, fake products, not the good quality oil filters many aftermarket company produce. Same for oil brands... Many of the comments online represent theories, phobias, myths rather than real facts.
He was not referring to OEM filters but to fake filters advertised as genuine and/or OEM filters.

Reputable brand referenced by OEM number.
@@SmOgER10 Even a OEM filter can be faulty, that is why it is important to keep an eye on the dip stick and change the oil and filter regularly.
What if the bypass opening pressure is lower than specified in aftermarket filters. I heard this is a common problem.

Never heard of anyone getting a counterfeit or sub standard new part at the dealer though

If by counterfeit you mean a knockoff pretending to be original you are right but if you mean aftermarket you are 100% wrong
Counterfeit/fake

If you really want tour engine to last, service at around 7k - 7.5k miles. At 10,000, oil is darker than a black hole
Counterfit are always bad but many aftermarket is actually often better than the OEM when the price are the same because of free competition.
Theres definitely some differences between different filters and the oil oressure shown.
The famous 95 MERC runs Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, 5-W-20; Bosch Premium Oil Filter #3410; and a FILTERMAG #SS365PR Magnet Kit. Oil & Filter changes at 5,000 miles.
Not one single Volkswagen air cooled engine was equipped with an oil filter. They only had a screen in the sump. They literally made millions of cars with those engines, so there’s that.

Can anyone describe what a counterfeit filter is? I'm not asking for opinions but rather facts, what is a counterfeit filter.

So what brand oil filter is good to use
It depends where you live as well to get the best one that guarantee.
It depends on the car, it's being used on.
Wix... you just cant go wrong with Wix.
Good Stuff Great Tips😄👍🏿
The most grotty 'counterfeit' filter is still better than a 'genuine' Fram Orange Can of Death!
And where are these made? Take a guess, CHINA.

Buy a reliable brand. Genuine is generally well overpriced.
Genuine does not mean OEM. It just means that what it says on the label is what it really is. A Purolator or Wix filter is genuine... a cheap filter made to look like Purolator or Wix is not.
I have seen Fram filters I would not ever want anywhere near my cars.
I use K and N
That is non-OEM counterfeit filter.
K And N are not what they use to be. They are now cheaply made. Wix is best
K&N are made exactly the same as walmart super tech oil filters. But 4 times the price.
OEM oil filters suck. Fram ultra, amsoil, Royal purple, Puralator boss is way better
They're all good. Just stay away from fakes on Amazon
