I only use OEM Honda oil filters ( part number 15410-MFJ-D01 ) and full synthetic Honda HP4S oil. Everyone is entitled to use whatever they want in their own bikes, but my philosophy is why would I want to stray away from using oil and filters other than what Honda calls for in an expensive engine? Now, provided it is the correct type and viscosity, going with a different brand oil like Mobil 1 is no big deal. But to me the filter is a whole different ball game, case in point being K&N filter failures, among others.
Apparently there is now a new part number for the stock Honda oil filter, 15410-MFJ-D01, which is 15410-MFJ-D02. The D01 original filter is/was made by Roki, whereas the D02 is made by Wako. Other than manufacturer I have not been able to find anything about any other difference between the two. Here is a page from Babbits showing the new part number for the oil filter ( #10 of the parts listed ): https://www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/...n-oil-pump
There are numerous listings online, including Amazon and eBay for these filters at less than $20 each, just search with the part numbers. That said, check out the attached link showing how to spot counterfeits of these oil filters first.

Also included in this link, below the real vs counterfeit Honda filter video, is a video comparing actual performance of a real vs counterfeit Toyota oil filter that is interesting. Name brand cross over filters might be OK ( I personally would still not trust K&N ) assuming that they are genuine, but for any small savings in price I am staying with OEM Honda.
