I don't trust them. I picked up a Mishimoto.

For OEM replacement parts, I love them. You can get oil filters that aren't Honda brand, but are typically less than half the cost. When I'm doing small repairs for people who truly don't care about the brand, I always go to NAPA (our local parts store).

I bought a Honda OEM cap just over a year ago and the inner gasket fell off, so OEM is not 100%, but still better.

As for aftermarket, make sure you match you car up in the cross reference book, typically they are rated by pressure.

But the OEM one is like $11 bucks full retail, an aftermarket is like maybe 8 bucks, I would spend the little extra.
