Matters to me and customer insight and opinions should matter to any organization. The revenue from my purchases and the recommendations of their oil filters on the premier oil forum on the internet has dried up. So again I say nice job First Brands.

Nice job losing that Walmart contract First Brands. Way to ignore all our emails about your horrible quality too.

Precisely what I'm doing with cannister FRAM Endurance and Cannister Champ XLs I have left. One basic OCI and replacing them with a PG line. Shame on First Brands. Shame shame shame.

Big prayers and love for your family. Maybe someone from this oil community in Iowa can get that oil changed for you.

The endurance is first Brands sad attempt to replace the OG ultra. Particularly the cannisters.

A travesty that toyota is going away from the 4.0 V6 and 5.7 V8. Bulletproof engines.

I run cartridges in a couple of vehicles. Given First Brands abuse of the canister line I'm not sure I will support them at all even if the cartridges are still okay. I have some champ xl filters to use up on the Tundra but after that I'm shifting to Carquest Premiums unless First Brands gets...

Is Champ Labs openly trying to sabotage First Brands? Revolution against the new owner lol.

So is the concensus the efficiency drops to rock catcher grade with the garbage leaf spring?

It had the wire backing. The way the seam is done weakened that pleat though.

Mobil 1 extended performance for first oci and supertech advanced for the second oci. A quart of Schaffers Supreme on each oci to use up some odd quarts. All of it 5w30.

This filter was run two OCIs for a total of 17.5k miles. Vehicle is a 2014 Toyota 4runner with 167,560 miles. Not loving the wavy pleat at the seam.

2014 Toyota 4runner 167,560 miles. 7.5k OCI Out: 5 qts Supertech Advanced 5w30 and 1 qt Schaffers Supreme 5w30. Royal Purple filter after two OCIs In: 5qts Quaker State Euro FS 5w40, 1 qt Schaffers Supreme 5w30, and .6 quarts Pennzoil Platinum 10w30. Purolator Boss

That doesn't look like boss media to me.

First Brands sells to a manufacturer that cares about quality control, customers requests, and less about pinching pennies.
