I was able (barely) to cut open my Honda A01 I used on my last oil change. It was ran for 3000 miles along with PU 5w-20. There was a little grit in the bottom of the can when I cut it open but could have been shavings from the cutting. I cleaned out the can after I cut it. There are some nicks on the media, that is from the hacksaw. I did the best I could. Everything seemed to be very solid, I took the center tube out to see the inside of the media. I stuck a paperclip inside the part of the media with "no endcaps" and there is something very solid in there, seems like very hard glue of some sort. All in all Im pretty pleased. Judging by the color of the filter media and oil, it seems my engine is relatively clean.
