The problem with the Hondas and Mopars is the bypass relief valve used in the Fram filter is designed is poorly. I used the correct part number in my Jeep. Some worked OK, some didn't. So I changed brands. This is when I researched oil filters.

Another problem is HV oil pumps. Some cars with HV or HP pumps will rupture a standard Fram filter. The Ford 351C really complain about it. (Modified Boss 302/351C will turn over 7000 rpm.)

I've had Toyotas and Chevys use Fram filters for 200,000 miles. Their oiling systems differ from many Hondas, Mopars, and Fords.
