Default Mobil 1 Oil Filters

FYI - I was buying oil and filter for my first oil change on my new/used Accord. So I'm looking at the Mobil 1 oil filters, and I take one out of the box to see the number and size of transfer holes in the base. Surprise, surprise... the filter is a Fram oil filter. I thought this may be a mistake so I looked at several filters... same thing.

Mobil 1 filters are made by Fram Filtration (formerly Champion Laboratories).

Champion Laboratories Inc. - Mobil Branded Filter Limited Warranty

The Mobil 1 oil filters have different filtering media than the standard Fram oil filter.
