I just want to add a little info.
I am experiencing low oil pressure with a Pure Power billet filter installed. Currently not sure if it's the filter or not however i did find an article on the web with someone with the same issue.
I'm going to replace with a Fahle which is 111.5mm and report back.

With exposed brake fluid - yes.
But not engine oil. Besides, whatever water might be present during the combustion process is steamed off and out of the exhaust.
I can't imagine how water would even get in the crankcase area if it's just sitting there in storage.
Just ask the ancient Egyptians.
No biggie, if your change intervals work for you, then great. Some of us in the colder climates have to think about the seasons & temperature cycles.
I'm no expert but I like listening to experts.

Moisture gets into the crankcase/oil from condensation and primarily from the combustion process itself.
This is why it's crucial for cars to have their oil temperatures operate above 212*F so it boils off the water in the oil. It's also the reason that many oil analysis companies recommend running the car hard and draining the oil 'hot' to take the sample.

Another option I have found - any thoughts/comments? I have just purchased these JS-Asakashi filters for my daily Accord and the quality appears very good. There's a video below of the filter cut open compared to some other known brands.
Not sure where exactly they are produced but the company itself is Japanese AFAIK.
Their 'C807J' appears to have the dimensions of the OEM tall filter.

A few pictures of some I ordered. Impressed with the quality of the O-ring and general construction.
Also an alternative to the Fram filter some are using as a cabin air filter

What do you folks think about the Pure Performance Oil Filter? Yes, this is reuseable.

I like the one time use filters..... Great for starting up a camp fire or firing up the stove. Just place in there (hole-side-up) and some kindling and wood morsels and voila.

The Asakashi is a good filter, its made in Malaysia or Indonesian. The oil flow of the media is almost identical to the Honda OEM short and tall. I did notice in a sample I examined that there was white overspray (of the exterior painting) in the inside of the canister. Made me wonder about quality control. They bypass aperture is significanty smaller too.

| Asakashi | C807J | 110 | 3.125 | 74" | 231 | Coil | Rectangle Flat | 10mm | 28psid |
| Honda OEM (Short) | 15400PL2505 | 80 | 2.00" | 76" | 152 | Leaf | Hemispherical | 20mm | 24psid |

Don't waste your valuable time watching silly YouTube videos. Just buy these filters and drive your damn cars: https://www.mitamotorsports.com/product/oil-filter/
Why is this filter "the one" Hugh? What oil should we be using? haha
I love that @R13 did this video (because I geek out on this stuff), but honestly, just use the current Honda filter and drive. None of us drive our cars enough (except for maybe Richard, Hugh and @mskrotzki) to even get close to clogging the filter media in any of these filters.
JFC - things must be really slow on Prime if we are discussing oil filters . . .
Exactly; and why Ive started changing my oil filter every other year. I do always use a tall canister filter to have a little more oil to the mains at startup.
If you have a take-off, I'm happy to cover shipping if you want t drain it and mail it to me. I'll take all the measurements and add it to the sheet.
Also, regarding the Ultra-8 filters, there are apparently two versions of those. What I'm calling the "hole-y" version and the slotted version (difference in the center tube construction). The former has a notably stiffer bypass spring, but 10sq in less filtration area.
Honda also changed the D and B series filters from a larger can (similar to our current one) to a much thinner version noting an improvement in technology led to a smaller canister giving the same filtering and also increasing the oil pressure a little which helped vtec in older engines.
I'd assume they did something similar with the NSX filter and unless you track your cars often the current short OEM is 100% fine.

Wow I didn't know that- very interesting info! More oil pressure in VTEC is a good thing.
I've used both the Denso and the T60 that Mita sells. I can report that they both successfully filter the engine oil. LOL.
The forums for the little Honda engines went through the same thing this one is, worrying about oil capacity and a lot of turbo guys run the S2000 filter which is very close in size to the original D/B filter, but everyone else just uses the new part now.Wow I didn't know that- very interesting info!

Amsoil of course with Auto-Rx following the instructions on the Aurto-RX website.
