good brands (ones that have less chance of destroying your engine) are: hamps, bosch premium, mobil1, stp. prices vary, but they are all good. best are hamps and mobil1. this is based on an independent study of many filter's interior components. the worst ones are fram. honda oil filters are the same as fram IF they have the word "FILTECH" printed on them. that means they are the US made ones....and are crappy (cardboard in the media!). the ones that don't say FILTECH are the JDM honda filters, and are as good as the Hamps!
