Genuine Honda??
Hello all,
Recently, on Amazon I bought what was described as "Genuine 15825-P2M-005 Engine Variable Timing Spool Valve Filter ", Condition: "New". First, I got the item on the right, which was obviously not new but previously opened and scotch taped closed, but I recognized the packaging, as Genuine Honda. After, questioning the merchant. who shall remain nameless, they sent me the item on the left, as replacement, which appears new and unopened but I don't recognize the packaging as Genuine Honda.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
FWIW: The other side of replacement does say "Genuine Parts; Honda Motor Co. Ltd.":

Re: Genuine Honda??
that's normal. Just as long as the part numbers are the same. Plus, aftermarket parts companies will not have "HONDA" and "MADE IN JAPAN" printed on the packaging.

@S2k@9K, @NVturbo,
Thanks, for the reassurance!
I got concerned, when the 1st replacement (not discussed or shown) was the wrong part#, as well.

There is also a gasket between the VTEC valve body and the top part with the solenoid on it. You should also replace it if oil is leaking from the VTEC solenoid area. There are two versions of the top gasket, one is thicker and has a screen, one is thinner and doesn't have a screen.

Re: Genuine Honda??
Thanks!
I believe, these are the two gaskets, you are referring to and below are gaskets I'm replacing them with...
FWIW, the 1st replacement (not discussed/shown) they sent me for the open package was part #15825-P08-005
