they are made in multiple locations but run whatever you wish, they will all work well. in todays world, anything is better oil and filter wise than it was 20-30-50 years ago.
Nope.
So per the manual, it's 4.1 US quarts when changing the oil filter.
That's incorrect. It's less than 3.9 quarts.
There's a video on Youtube where a guy dumps 4 quarts into his Cb1100 and it completely fills the sight-glass.
There's another one where the guy puts in 3.5 quarts and then tops it up until the sight-glass is accurate.
My experience is in line with the second guy. Put in 3.5 quarts, while on the center stand, and then gradually top it up until the sight glass is where you want it.
4 quarts is too much. 4.1 quarts is way too much... lol
I am talking about the 2014 Standard, aka the "black one". I can't speak to other model or year variations.
But the manual for the 2014 is incorrect. Even the Honda shops that follow the manual are overfilling these bikes.
Ps. Im using the Fram PH6017a. Another typo... No wonder I got D's in accounting! Good lord I hated that class...
