You really cannot tell without getting up close to the filter or the dealer invoice should say. Both look identical on the outside except the fram one says made in Canada if I remember correctly while the filtec ones say made in USA.

double check which oem it is. They'll say Honeywell or Filtech. Honeywell is fram's parent company. Filtech is not.
Filter is the better filter of the two. Also there's two different filter we can use that are oem. the Smaller, which is the filter our car uses or the bigger found in S2K and a few others.
I myself would use the bigger of the two with Filtech labeling. And i have no problem of it at all.
Currently using Wix filter made for the Honda S2000. Same O-ring diameter and thread. From what I read, Puralotor's top of the line mobil 1 K&N is better than the wix, then comes Amsoil at the top. But Wix is half the cost and just as great.

I use the small Honda filters. Bought mine from Handa-Accessories.com. 6 for $29.12 and they're the Filtech ones also. Well at least mine all say Filtech on them. Make sure you get new washers for each oil change.
