    Just bought some oil filters with the filter removal tool, fully sealed but were rusty when opened.

    Returned to dealer for a full refund.

    Sent a message to Honda UK but no response.

    I bought a total of eight and all were rusty, five like the photo and three not so bad but I would not use them on my bike.
