I never thought that I would see another one, but here it is. This Denso-made filter has paper endcaps! The bypass valve, shown on top of the filter element in the photo, is glued in place. The filter element itself is very strange, with the pleats opening concentrically into radial channels, as opposed to facing the circumference as most filters. The element itself is so large that it was almost difficult to get out of the can. This filter shares common cross-references with Honda.

Because of the paper endcaps, I lump this filter with the Fram: unacceptable.
