The filter has become more efficient, and the oil isn't acidic, since the used oil in the filter still has additives in it. No offense, but your post is counter-productive.

OP, does your owner's manual require an oil filter change every other interval, like most other Hondas?
I'm going to run my Fram Ultra out to ~20k miles or three intervals on my Civic. It's a good filter that can handle it, IMO.
So if the oil is still serviceable, and the filter still has more life in it, why does the olm and Honda bother to tell you to change it? You will never go wrong changing out a used oil filter. Telling people to run new oil thru a used filter just because you do, that there is counter productive pal.,,,
