A Premium Oil Filter YouTube video

[panthermike]

Came across this video today. I don't know a lot about oil filters, but this one seemed decent from what I could tell. This company sells a lot of parts, I have no experience personally with them.

I watched this previously and pointed out to Midwest F150 that at no point was the micron rating found. Probably 46-ish micron, but unknown.

Yes I noticed that as well, good point.

Package says it has a "stainless steel" can ... I'd like to see that proven.

Says it has "semi-synthetic" media, so might be better than that but I doubt it's 99% @20-25u or they would probably put it on the box.

That certainly does not look like stainless steel to me !

My beer doesn't even come in stainless steel cans.

Looks serviceable. Seen them for awhile also on Amazon but the pricing for most SKU's is around the $8.99-$12.99 range for the popular sizes but they seem to also sell multiple units that bring the per unit down a bit.

Value proposition is hard to gauge as it really puts it in the CarQuest Blue Premium being the better value IMHO.

Where's a filter magnet when you need one? Perhaps there was one and it fell off?

Some stainless steel is magnet, it depends on the alloy composition. The real test would be clean up the inside real well to remove all the oil and subject it to water for awhile to see if it rusts or not. Even if it's low grade stainless steel it could rust if exposed to something harsh like salt water. But if it's any kind of stainless steel it shouldn't rust from just being wet with water for a short period. If it's not magnetic its a high grade of stainless steel.

I would be surprised if it was stainless. Really an extra cost to material and tooling that does not need to be there.

I don't like the look of those scratches caused by the coil spring. But all-in-all, looks like a decent filter.

The brand sounded familiar I checked my past Amazon orders, I used one of their air filters a few years ago.

I have seen that before on other filters and it is usually the ones that get fog sprayed with a rust protective storage coating of the inside can and is more of a scratch of the coating when first assembled and set. Doubt it is moving around after that.

This is true. For some reason it jumped out at me here. Don't know why.
