i change mine every six months just for the hell of it but somehow i haven't changed my mother's 17 crv since she bought it and that thing was about as filthy as the pic from OP. I threw in a wix branded filter and recently changed her cabin air filter which was equally as dirty.

Honda OEM filters (if this is one) have a light coating of oil to trap particulates and this look is absolutely normal. I change mine every 20k and it looks just like that.

I just bought a Wix branded air filter for my 15 CRV and i noticed the ones with yellow colored media also have a light oil coating. The store i work had a different one in stock also branded as a Wix but the media was white and that one did not have a oil coating. I didn't pay attention to where the white colored Wix filter came from BUT the yellow media one was made in Jordan. FYI, the Wix part number for a 15 CRV is WA10269.
