Filter from my wifes car, 2018 Honda Fit. I changed it a while back and forgot to cut it open. Has roughly 13-14k on it with 2 OCIs using Napa/Valvoline 0w16 Synthetic. I will confirm the mileage when schedules align and I can look at the notebook in her car. We typically change at 10% on the factory maintenance minder and every other OCI gets a new filter.
A bit of carbon was found in the bottom of the can and I found these blue specs in every handful of pleats...not sure whats going on there. Kinda looks like its from paint you'd see on bolts after setting torque. I wish I had cut open the past oil filters now. The car has little under 50k on it. It currently has Total Quartz 0w20 and a Champ XL PH2867XL filter..
