Ironic and scary coincidence at the same time.

While changing the oil in my wife's 2001 Civic EX today, I came across something I have never seen in the car world. Her Civic uses the same exact oil filter as my 2002 3.5 Maxima. I for one have never seen this before, has anyone else? Just seemed kinda strange to me.

when you go to oil change places, they only have some of filters that are unviserval and you think they stock all the oil filteres. Some of other car oil filter that fit is honda,dodge, ford prob,madza,MITSUBISHI. etc.
