Counterfeit Oil Filters

[rickcb]

so the red in the filter is a dead give away that it's a fake filter?

I'm beginning to think that we simply don't have enough information to draw that conclusion. If you look at the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Rn5MFaqDk&feature=emb_imp_woyt]video in the link from 2017ex's original post, it referred to fake D01 filters. I don't think we've yet seen a picture of a D02 that came from a Honda dealer (I may be wrong). Who knows, it may have red packing and be perfectly good.

The answer to your question, PD,

Toyo Roki is an OEM Honda supplier, with plants in China, US, and other countries

Wako Filter is an OEM Honda supplier, with a plant in China.

So how do we automatically conclude that any Wako filter made in China is not OEM?

FWIW, here's a pic of my D01 Roki filter, made in US (formerly Filtech).

is that we can't without having more information.

Here ya go...from today's Honda dealership visit:
