Trying to see what you guys are using as the last filter that was put on my car i swear was made out of paper:ownedrun:
Tried to find a place that sells the 15400 PLM A01 online but couldn't find any that would be reasonable after shipping charges applied.

I usually buy my own oil and just get the shop to do filter and labor. Last time however the regular place i go to was quite booked so i tried another place. Low and behold the filter they put in was a FRAM brand and i could swear to god it was made by paper. I noticed my oil level had gone down after 1 week of driving so jacked the car and checked the drainplug and filter. Low and behold the back of the filter was oily.
And no the filter was not loose, it was tight in place.

I've used Fram in my first Honda I had (same year but different color lol) and that thing didn't even filter anything. It is made of some cheap paper, that's why its sooo cheap. I opened Fram, Mobil1 and K&N and you can see a difference. K&N was a bit better designed then Mobil1 but filter inside was made from same thing I guess, but fram one was really poorly made.
