OEM's tend to be overrated.

I've run just about all brands of filters. Almost any filter is good for the <3k OCI that you should be performing.

Some cheaper ones have issues like thin fragile cases, BPVs that might stick, or ADBVs that leak too quickly. You do get what you pay for!

I prefer oversized filters for more media, more surface area, & more capacity. I'm using 51344 or 51347, easily x-referenced with most brands, for those that want more filter.

I use Honda "big" PCX (S2000/NSX) oil filters on my FC and 3000GT. They're great filters made by Toyo Roki of Japan (unlike the Honeywell/Fram contract, smaller Honda PLM)

I get a good deal on them, it' not really practical unless you work for Honda or live next door to a Honda or Acura dealer.
