The local Walmart Superstore by Clayton NC, has just ordered a case of Fram CH 6008 oil filters that will fit on a Honda Rincon (Not sure what else these filters are used on) and they only cost $2.57 per filter. That sure beats the $8.44 I paid at the Honda dealership in Garner NC. I called Fram to verify that that oil filter would fit and here is their reply...
Thank you for the e-mail regarding the difference between the Fram CH6008 and the Fram oil filter recommended for your
2003 Honda Rincon 650. We welcome the opportunity to be of service.
According to our data, the CH6007 is the recommended Fram oil filter for the 2003 Honda Rincon 650.
The filter element dimensions of the CH6007 and CH6008 are the same at 2.70" OD x .77" ID x 1.80" H. The difference is
in the dimension and quantity of the gasket o-ring requirements that are included with each filter number for the given
application where the CH6007 and CH6008 are recommended. There are two o-rings included with the CH6007 and one o-ring
included with the CH6008. Listed below are the o-ring dimensions.
CH6007 (2 o-rings)
3.45" OD x 3.19" ID x .17" THK
.81" OD x .61" ID x .11" THK
CH6008 (1 o-ring)
.81" OD x .61" ID x .11" THK
While the filter elements may be interchangeable, the o-ring requirements of these two filters are different and are not
considered to be interchangeable.
Thank you for choosing Fram filters.
Cordially,

So I think it is safe to say that the filter will work.
Thanks
