Review on XG7317 Ultra Synthetic Filter SureGrip by John Chembola

Checked out a new review of this filter from FRAM. I liked the performance and quality compared to the original "blue" Honda. I am trying them and for the price they are very good for me. I change every 5,000 km anyway. After doing 5k to say 7k or 10k I found my oil came out black and figured it would be 5k for me with full synthetics. I change the oil myself so it's cheap insurance. My Ridgeline has 230,000 miles and runs and tows great. Supposedly FRAM has upped the quality over the past and this filter is FRAM's "new" best oil filter. I hand tighten my filters, so the extra latch at the end is a nice touch. But I need 99% efficiency, some tests showed the Fram Ultra passed. Honeywell, Blue is around $12 each, and FRAM XG7317 is around $9 each.
