    Supertech Oil Filters

    Nothing wrong with SuperTech oil filters. I use either the ST oil filters or Purolator Premium which are sometimes on sale at PepBoys for $0.01/ea after rebate :)

    Not Happy: Nissan oil filter now made in China

    I cut open an OEM Nissan 15208-65F0C oil filter. The box says "Made In China". Here are the pics, judge for yourself. OEM filter bottom OEM filter cut open (I immediately noticed the cardboard endpiece). The ADBV on the OEM filter was nitrile rubber and felt very thin/flimsy. Everything...

    Need opinions on my oil choice

    After hearing good things about Shell Rotella oils, I'm thinking of using them for my vehicles. They're pretty cheap too at WalMart '06 Scion xB 1.5L - Shell Rotella T 5W-40 Synthetic (factory recommends 5w-30) '93 Oldsmobile Cutlass 3.3L - Shell Rotella T 15W-40 Non-synthetic (factory...

    Best value priced filter?

    Supertech from Wal-mart Valucraft from Autozone Both are the Champion Labs filters (maybe identical?) and are a bargain at $2/ea

    Your filter choice????

    I use VALUCRAFT oil filters. They only cost $2.19/ea at Autozone I use it for all the cars I maintain and I haven't had a problem with them. They're just as good as the Supertech oil filters at Wal-Mart, and they should be, since they are both made by Champ Labs I just bought a 2006 Scion xB...

    Valucraft oil filters from AutoZone

    My gf's car (93' Olds Cutlass 3.3L) uses that exact same part# I used an AC delco for her oil change last time, but I'll be switching her car to Valucraft as well At my local Autozone, the Valucraft 4967 were still the old non-ecore design, but the Valucraft 3387A and some of the other...

    Valucraft oil filters from AutoZone

    I've also noticed that the SuperTech and Valucraft oil filters appear to be identical. I'll get whatever's easier to get to, which in my case would be the Valucraft. I remember when the Valucraft oil filters still used to be $1.99/ea, but a 20 cent difference isn't going to break the bank...

    Valucraft oil filters from AutoZone

    Your opinions on it? Are these any good? After all, they do come from Champion Labs, the same oil filter manufacturer for STP/AC Delco/Supertech/Mobil Valucraft oil filters cost about $2.19/ea from Autozone and are easily available to me Is this one of the best bang for the buck oil filters...
