There are many comments about Terry preferring simple paper air filters in cars with fuel dilution especially Honda V6s. You have a four cylinder and it seems there was fuel dilution on three of your analyses, sometimes this is because of driving in stop and go conditions. You might want to try a paper filter. The fuel dilution did not hurt your wear numbers, but you don't want to extend your oci with fuel dilution issues.

Hey dennis,
I am coming up on an Air filter change. Based solely on the fuel dilution issue, do you think I should try a Fram air filter for an 06 V6 and not an I4? Right now, I got replacement #1 honda OEM air filter in there and that's all I have had for the life of this car so far. What do you think?! Anyone? I am pretty sure an aftermarket air filter is going to work better for the air filter but the same cannot be said, obviously, for the cabin filter or even oil filter.
You do not need to try a different filter based solely upon a fuel dilution issue on someone else's vehicle. IF your has a fuel dilution issue, then, sure, try a different filter. I have no idea why you state "I am pretty sure an aftermarket air filter is going to work better for the air filter but the same cannot be said, obviously, for the cabin filter or even oil filter". Regarding performance, in the same sentence, you use "pretty sure" and "obviously", which means you are neither pretty sure, nor is your conclusion obvious. Still, you're doing much better...stick around and keep learning.
