Just went to Honda dealership in Beaverton, OR and asked for an oil filter for the CB1100. Was given a filter with red interior. Other "counterfeit" sign was that it would not be marked with number "6" on interior ring, but with an "M" marking. Mine has neither "6" nor "M"--it's marked with "H". It does not have the "pressure release valve" inside. It's barcode is smaller, less bold and filter itself says "Made in China". So 80% fake, and 20% undetermined?
Parts guy was reading from his computer and said "part 15410-MF-D02 has replaced D01". Again, this was right at the dealership. Last time, I paid $14 about a year ago from a different dealership in WA, and this was $18...so not only possibly fake, but more money!
So is this really a counterfeit or fake filter, or just a replacement?
I told the parts guy my concern, and he said that they did have a K&N filter that would fit.
