400 Four Oil filter - "genuine" or "aftermarket" ?

(1/10) > >>

OK...so is there any functional or 'quality' difference between the two? If this forum didn't exist, I would probably buy the "genuine" filter because it 'sounds better' but if there is no actual difference, I don't see the point in spending more money for the same thing.

Well, I don't think I've ever had a genuine oil filter. I wouldn't  be surprised if Honda bought theirs from different people down the line. Just don't go super cheap. There is a video comparing things here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ-W0_KZTbE

Sorry, I should have specified that the "Genuine" and "Aftermarket" are descriptions used on the DS website.  Their Genuine filter is £10.66 and their Aftermarket filter is £4.95.
