Counterfeit Oil Filters

[the Ferret]

Wow, glad I use K&N. I don't have to worry about spotting fakes!

K&N has facilities in China, so it would not be out of the realm of possibility that K&N has been knocked off, just like countless other products these days. Lets face it, how often does anyone scrutinize something as mundane as an oil filter? I think the knock off artists count on that, just like the eBay seller that substituted a counterfeit on me. In my case, I knew what to look for, and didn't let it slide.

So was it an established supplier like Revzilla, Rocky MT etc or an offbeat one?

and it came with a fake Honda packaging with Honda part number?

In that one photo, it looks like a Revzilla packing slip with the fake one. :-O

There's a difference between aftermarket replacement and a counterfeit. The counterfeit steals a brand name and attempts to get a premium for the brand with an inferior product. Aftermarket replacement stands on its own brand and merits.

good eye Stichill. That's scary, Revzilla probably sells a ton of those.
