OK I'm calling BS on this internet rumor of how to identify counterfeit oil filters.
Stopped at my buddy's shop today and walked back behind the counter into the parts room and found the Honda oil filters. I looked at every one he had in the box. Then I grabbed one and went and asked him what was his source for those oil filters. He said "Honda, I buy them from Honda"! Then I told him about the counterfeit oil filter rumor on the internet.
Every one of them had the red packing, the same labeling and said made in China on them.

It was one of these that I put on my bike last week.
