If you look at this toyota vs. fram video you'll see the difference (not sure about Honda)
Youtube filter comparison [youtube.com]
I also went back to Toyota for wiper blade refills. Theirs last 2-3 years and don't cost much more than the Costco Michelin? wiper blades.
Can't say for certain for all OEMs but I tend to believe that their requirements are a bit higher than Walmart or Costco which buy on price alone.
Just buy silicone (wiper blades) and don't worry about replacing them.
Also this video has a ton of different filters cut apart including Toyota and Honda (Fram), Purolator, etc.

According to him the Toyota filter is made by either Denso or Purolator, and googling seems to agree.
I would also like to say that I preferred DIY maintenance knowing I've done honest work. Cost me about $25 oil + $5 filter + $5 motor flush = $40 w/ tax and about 40 mins. I do all my family oil change. Oh and to dispose it I have leftover empty 35lbs frying oil plastic containers, just pour in the used oil, and bring it to any auto parts store. Not really hard honestly
Just 4 months ago, 2 pack was $30.99. They are slowly increasing prices.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank mav1178
Questions:
1)Would the oil be shelf stable for a while? I do it twice/year
2)Is it ok to switch from Penzoil to Costco?
What do you guys think?

$2 more than buying 2x of the 2-pack in the store. free shipping. up to you if the extra $2 offsets your own time/gas spent driving to a local store or not.

on the shelf, 5-7 years is what the manufacturer says. in the engine, that depends on how often you drive and how you go about removing contaminants in the oil, whether it is properly warming up the car to burn off water/fuel in the oil, or filter changes, etc.
you can mix/match oil but the important thing here is the right weight oil for your ambient temp/driving needs. you can go up/down from your factory recommended weights without any major issues... its in the owners manual.
if this was sold in metal containers then the oil would last indefinitely.
