Supertech when I change the oil. When I take it to Honda for the change every third or fourth change, Honda filter.

Do an oil analysis just prior to an oil change (~7500 miles). Then you'll know for certain whether or not your filter is keeping the oil clean.

I use whatever my dealer puts in the car, probably a Honda filter.

Mobil 1 0w-20 and NAPA (Wix) filter. I was using Fram for a while before switching to Wix.

well I opted for the MObil 1 0W-20 Oil (walmart) and a Mobil 1 filter (Autozone) -- but I'll probably go back to Honda filters -- $10 for the M1 filter is too high.
