'03 CR-V Oil filter...new one looks smaller

For rotors check out http://www.importrp.com/ - they claim to ship to
Canada. I got their Brembo OE rotors for the rear of my '99 Integra (the
originals corroded badly) for ~$70. the pair including Fedex 3-day. These
are definitely genuine Brembo with branded packaging and stamped on the
rotor. I'm hoping they won't corrode as bad as the originals but they
can't be worse and no way I'd pay the ~$200. for the Acura parts.

Well, sure they do...but they use UPS for export shipments.

$85.33USD (shipping in)
Plus UPS brokerage charges of around $30CDN

About $155CDN, plus whatever taxes applicable, probably federal only (7%)

It seems to become a "given" in the discussions groups now that putting a
Fram oil filter on your car is tantamount to committing murder against your
engine.

In my driving lifetime (39 years behind the wheel and counting), the only
oil filter failure I have ever experienced was an AC filter on a '96 Honda
(the bypass failed and the engine forced all the oil out past the gasket
onto the road).

I'm curious - has anyone here ever actually experienced filter failure with
a Fram or engine damage attributed to failure of a Fram oil filter?

www.thepartsbin.com carries both Nippon and Denso brand oil filters for
Hondas and other Japanese cars.

Has anyone used these?

Presently I use either a PureOne or Wix filter for my Accord as I also don't
trust the construction methods of Fram filters.

And yes, apparently our dear Honda has some sub-assemblies

Not the mention the entire rebadged Isuzu Rodeo Honda sold before building
the Pilot.

I wonder how many uniformed customers thought they were buying a Honda just
because it said Honda and was sold in a Honda dealer with all Honda
paperwork?

Of course. I haven't seen any changes in the filters I get for my
family's cars yet. I know what the design looks like, and look for
the country of origin.

The Acura SLX and Isuzu Oasis are other examples of Honda / Isuzu rebadging.

I'm one of the few that thinks FRAM turns out a damn fine product, so long
as they have to work to Honda's requirments.

If the bypass "failed", then the element was clogged and the bypass valve
was probably plugged up as well. How long was the filter in place for?

FRAM bypass valves as used on the Honda filters are pretty much foolproof.
Very simple and durable.
