Except that I parked the car in 2012, and a few kids and a lot of work, travel, etc. later, I’m driving it again. I had some concerns about going too far on the filter, which is why I wanted to tear it apart. But nothing really to be concerned about... would I routinely go that long? No.
That said, Honda allowed two 7500 mile OCIs on a filter, and my Saab allowed up to 36k km and two years... so the wildcard was years. And again, the potting and whatnot looked quite good.
