I've used the A02 filter many times, and got them in bulk from Amazon. They're good. When I buy from the dealer, I get a 003 instead -- fewer holes, and made by Tennex instead of Honeywell. I find it easier to get A02 on the aftermarket at a better price, so usually go with that.
I'm at 115k on my 18' Pilot exclusively using Mobile1 0W-20 synthetic (green gas milage label), changing myself every 8,500miles. I replace with the M1 advanced 110A oil filter and change the engine air filter + cabin filter as well, since new. Discard oil is dark, with a smell thats mild but says, "it's time".
I do use Mobil1, PenzPlatinum, or Valvoline and replace the filter with each change.
I change my oil when the maintainance minder gets to 50% with 0w20 and a Honda filter and don't bother resetting it.
Liqui Moly oil and Mann filters. You can buy kits or piece them out. Topside oil changes are easy; skip the jack. It's a 32 mm socket for the filter.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off
and don't use store bought oil filters unless they sell Mahle or Mann.
I was getting low oil pressure readings, not level, but it was caused by a cold snap and a cheap Fram filter collapsing under my frozen, sludgy 10w40.
I personally would spend a bit more money on a decent quality oil filter, stay away from Fram.
