regarding the oil filters and thier quality, here was a link i think i followed from somewhere else. Tears apart and decribes quality of many different filters.

I found it interesting, and if I do my own changes will refer to this. I also want to find the post somewhere on here that put the viscosity of a couple 0W-20 oils, I thought they all would have been the same, but I think it was Mobil synthetic with slightly less resistance than Amsoil.

I am sure Honda uses high quality products for their service departments. Prevents spending more money in free repair costs in the long run, and Honda has always seemed to be a company that cares more about keeping customers and building qualtiy products and making them last. Or maybe it is all the Hondas my friends and I have owned that accumulated over 200-300k and still running.
