I couldn’t find a similar sized non-OEM filter, so I went OEM there too. But also, before you buy the cabin filter, try vacuuming the one that is in there. If you can get it pretty clean then don’t worry about a new one for another few thousand miles.
Pros: vacuum to clean
Cons: hard to find non-OEM

A few months ago, at 16+ years old, it got front struts since they were leaking and starting to make noise.
Pros: easy to maintain
Cons: struts started leaking
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mechanic said he'd replace the oil filter, maybe sometimes that problem is caused by non Honda oil filters. I said ok.
Lo and behold, the CC drifting problem is gone, but fuel efficiency is down to about 24 highway. No limp mode or other problems.
Pros: CC drifting problem gone
Cons: fuel efficiency decreased

I ordered a used OEM starter for about $60. Because of time restraints and school, I finally got it replaced this past Friday and it works perfect now. The starter isn't sticking to the flywheel when starting now.
Pros: works perfect now
Cons: initial aftermarket starter

I'd recommend genuine Honda coolant. Others tend to cause water pump to leak.
Pros: prevents water pump leaks

For instance, on my Honda Fit, I went aftermarket on the brake rotors because the factory ones had a habit of warping with my driving.
Pros: upgraded part
Cons: factory ones warping

Honda's starter for the Fit sucks donkey butt. These starters are expensive items. Thats great, but the starter in the Fit, specifically the 2015 year model EX trim seems to be trash.
Cons: starter sucks donkey butt

Changing the oil filter on 8th gen Si's is a pain in the ass. You need to stick your entire arm around the exhaust header, axle, and steering rack to get to the filter, and then once you barely get a grip and spin it off, it spews oil all over your axle boot and into the subframe.
Cons: pain in the ass

I used to think Honda is great until we had a CRV. It was a piece of crap. It shakes at low speed or highway speed. The dealer was so incompetent and kept asking us to replace tires, wheels all at our own cost but the problem was still there.
Cons: shakes at low speed
