Using all the tips @planedoc & @Design gave me, I decided to open up the factory fill (low quality honeywell oil filter vs better filtech filter which Honda did not use here) to see how it looked. This was after just 2500 miles. I cut it with side cutters and avoided any foreign material landing onto the filter.
Nothing too alarming, but it is pretty gummed up for the low mileage IMO. The main issue is the raw gas smell. Very strong. Also, there is a fair amount of small silicone pieces from the seals (shown best in 2nd last pic)
Take it how you like, I just wanted to show my findings.
