Not much to see. I cut these open primarily so I can recycle the steel parts.

We have an odyssey and accord hybrid. The odyssey goes 5k oci per the computer, the accord about 14k.@JHZR2 since you use these Honda filters, I assume you are happy with them. I have switched from the Fram XG and M1 filters to the Honda versions, due in part from @The Critic recommendation.
I do 5K OCIs and 10K on the filter. Your thoughts? Thx in advance. I am just another OCD oil change nut.
As long as any increased dP across the filter doesn't put the pump in relief (highly unlikely unless the filter is nearly 100% clogged), there's no added flow volume getting to the engine from a slightly less restrictive oil filter. And as long as the filter's bypass valve is set to match it's flow vs dP performance curve by the designer, there should be no worries about a few more PSI of "flow restriction" dP.I run it. I think the oe filters filter worse but flow better
I don’t know that when it’s cold and the oil is thick, and the engine goes on and off and doesn’t warm up well… that something isn’t going into relief…As long as any increased dP across the filter doesn't put the pump in relief (highly unlikely unless the filter is nearly 100% clogged), there's no added flow volume getting to the engine from a slightly less restrictive oil filter.

No more than every car in the Great White North in the winter time. Use a 0W-xx oil and that will help some.I don’t know that when it’s cold and the oil is thick, and the engine goes on and off and doesn’t warm up well… that something isn’t going into relief…
I’d agree except that the hybrids randomly start and stop the engine. I have no evidence that hybrids in frigid locations are truly optimized for wear. But that’s just me.No more than every car in the Great White North in the winter time. Use a 0W-xx oil and that will help some.
