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.
Thank you, oh, thank you - please do!
The misleading information was in the first post, a re-post of another forum's false assumption, along with the picture of them comparing the D01 to the D02, and labeling it a fake simply because it was different. no other possible conclusion.
Hmmm, I wonder if examining the facts and questioning the source could be applied to anything else in daily life? Or is that our lives in a nutshell?
