Before you condemn Fram filters, I just thought that you'd like to know that
my OEM Honda filter --Made in Japan, says Made by FRAM! If it's good enough
for original equipment for Honda, it's good enough for me!

You sure it's Made In Japan?

Canadian OEM filters are made in Canada by Honeywell's FRAM division. It
will not say FRAM anywhere on it. You likely have a 15400-PLM-A02.

What does your VIN number start with? 1,2, or J?

if it was supplied to honda spec, and it has the honda logo on it, go
for it. otherwise, it's not worth paying the same money as you pay for
a much superior filter in a different brand - with potential
reliability/premature wear problems to boot.

They're not the same, trust me. The OEM parts from Fram must meet the
automaker's specifications. The store parts from Fram are sometimes
broken or misfigured.

My VIN begins with a "J" .

Funny!

I just returned two Honeywell (Kaz) home air purifiers because they
didn't work even the slightest bit. It looks like Honeywell has
diversification in the non-functional filter market.

I wouldn't have purchased the air filters if I'd known that Honeywell,
AlliedSignal, and Fram were the same.

To be fair. Frams built to Honda spec do look like better built
filters, with more filter area, thicker case, better anti-flowback
valve, etc. But I still don't use it. Just like I don't use Honda's
brake fluid made by CCI either. It's Castrol GT Low Moisture Activity
(LMA) Dot 3/4 for me.

So Honda Japan is buying their factory-fill filters from FRAM? Interesting.

Fram web site http://www.fram.com/ lists "Extra Guard", "Tough Guard",
"Double Guard", and "Extended Guard" for my 1999 Honda Civic. Any idea
which one your car has?

I just picked up one of those custom-fit oil filter wrenches (attachment
that goes on a socket wrench) at the parts store. Looked at the Fram
filters they listed for my '02 Accord and they are different-sized filters
than the Honda-branded ones that I get from handa.com.
