Default Is FRAM Tough Guard TG3593A oil filter any good?

I went to Wal-Mart and didn't see any mobil 1 or honda filters so I got a FRAM Tough Guard TG3593A for my 5th gen... Is it a good filter (cost around 5 bucks)?

not really good filters when compared to others. It will work but not as good as others. I think part of the filter that should be made of metal or plastic or something else is made up of a glued on piece of cardboard.

Honda Oil filters only made in Japan and Mobil One are really good. The US Honda filters suck. Also Pure One is a really good filter.

You can look here too of a post I made about Oil and filters.

good filter media, but it still has cardboard endcaps which suck. I go with purolator pure ones for the same price.
