That's because the 'new' Champ made 9688/3593a is a 'true' 9688/3593a application, not a downsized one like the Wix made for WM ST9688. The latter was really a 7317 application size filter, which is the spec size for a 2010 CRV.
Not sure how the '8 year' figure was determined. The Wix made for WM ST including the 9688 was only around for couple years starting in ~2016 after replacing the Puro Classic on the shelves. Before that Champ made ST, was iirc the same as current ST9688.
In any case, that's why the current ST 9688 won't fit 2010CRV. And, as there's no current ST7317 application you would have to use the shorty ST6607 if you chose to use a Super Tech filter now.
