Interesting topic but a bit worrying too. I have read on numerous forums about fake NGK plugs being in circulation that appear genuine but aren’t. I have just been into the garage, I have two new and boxed genuine Honda oil filters on the shelf ready to do oil changes this summer. I bought them directly from a big Honda dealership in England (no eBay). They have all the Honda branding on them, look and feel quality as best I can tell, it says made in France though. What does that mean? Is there a big manufacturer in France knocking out genuine Honda spec oil filters? No idea. From experience I am very wary of any pattern parts because they often don’t fit and are of dubious quality. Buy cheap buy twice.
