I meant horizontal ,i had a honda civic 1978 and it was bullet proof oilf filter was almost horizontal .it ha an angle toward the extremity of the filter about 8 dregree ,but engine was mounted at that angle.i had v engine ,now you see what i drive ,inline only for me,(okok,v12 are awsome ,but i dont see any building a 1.6 liter v12)
The key is regular service intervals.

Well now the two Asian's (Hondas) I service, ahem maintain, have filters oriented in the horizontal (Civic) and vertical position (Accord). So it would seem that "Asian position" can be either in a horizontal or vertical orientation. But both orientations, whether horizontal or vertical position, seem to work equally well and provide long engine life satisfaction with regular service intervals. At least in my experience.

Many people seem to look down on the Denso-made Toyota filters for the exact same reason. Take the above statement verbatim but change "Honda" to "Toyota".

Does that mean the aftermarket Fram filters specified for Hondas have a different media, or built differently (with more media area or something?) to get the same flow and maintain the advertised Fram efficiency?
