They all do the same thing, dont waist your $ on a oil filter if all your gonna do is toss it out in 3 months. Keep it OEM

why use filter when you going to change it? take the filter out of the case and run it lifetime as long as you do your oil change.

That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Without a filter, you just wear out the motor more because of the metal particles floating in the oil.

Where do you get the filter from? I heard the Honda dealer doesn't carry 15400-pcx-004, but I could be wrong.

The K&N is suppost to be a really crapy oil filter that is ment for only about an hour use at peak flow but with minimal protection against small fragments. It only stops the big chunks, so i would reccomend against that and i seem to find an oem one to work great!
