You sound pretty sure that Amsoil is not listening. PM me your email and or phone number so they can contact you, and/or I can contact them for you. The more people bring something up, the more attention a company will give it.
Amsoil is a bit boxed in here. And it's not like they are not contracting all their other filter products over the years. AF's are essentially gone.

Amsoil is compassionate about oil and it shows. Some of the best made. I’m sure things are happening in the background regarding the oil filters. I understand they have a contract with Champ to manufacture the filters and it’s a lot of moving parts to make things change.

Thank you for that more than generous offer. I have emailed Amsoil directly over the past few months using their tech/CS line. They are always polite, just not seemingly "getting it." I have been as plain as I am here with my emails to them. Without knowing what "AF's" are, I cannot offer any response.
I went from spending enough every year to not have to pay for the membership fee for the preferred customer to almost nothing given my experience with their filter quality falling. This last point again brings me no pleasure and is not boasting. It's a sad current state of affairs given current business/manufacturing choices they have made. I'm going with the only avenue a consumer has to drive change - moving purchases to another vendor/manufacturer. Again, I WANT Amsoil to succeed. This is why I have gone round and round with their email team.
AF = air filter, sorry
I agree - lately the first line at Amsoil just does not pick up on the issue at hand right away. Believe I know this
$19.80
Well, anyway, I've got two filters to go on the car. Even with all the doom and gloom read here, I'm going to risk my engine and install AMSOIL filters. God help us.
The Toyota was $14.40. It will reach the second round of VRP before the Ford. I want to cut up both Toyota filters.

That thing better have a gold adbv
Doh!
The Fram Endurance 4967 installed last July is coming off the Highlander in about one month and I was going to use an EA15K09 that I purchased last December.
Maybe not.
Maybe a MicroGuard Select for my next 10k mile run with HPL, instead.
I’m tempted to ask a BITOGer to C&P both the used Endurance and a new EA15K09 so we can see if the Fram “ruffled” the HPL oil and whether the Amsoil filter is up to snuff.
I prefer to stay clear of FRAM products, just a personal preference. We dont have access to MicroGuard filters here on the East Coast, unless you go online to get some. Filters we don't have around here are also WIX XP.
The only good thing I have coming up soon will be utilizing the AMSOIL filters to run with a VRP 5k-mile interval. That'll be my second run of VRP in the engine. My commute to work each day starts at 03:45 AM and is 60 miles one way. 95% of highway miles without traffic signs. So, I rack up miles quickly and I appreciate both cars and depend on them to get me to and from work each day. I try to do what's best for each of them, and I am proud of how they run with higher mileage.
Ha! I know, right!!
I've never seen an O'Reilly Auto Parts in my life, anywhere. We basically have AutoZone, Advance Auto, and some NAPA stores. I get my oil on-line usually from WalMart. I order my filters online also.
Get the Carquest Premium at Advance Auto ... same as the MicroGard Select. It's MicroGard, not MicroGuard.

you do realize the Endurance is the same filter as the amsoil, right?
And the Royal Purple.
According to the O’Reilly website there are 104 of them in VA.

OK, I can research MicroGard filters here within the forums. Thank you.
You said you don't have O'Reilly's, so I'm suggesting getting a Carquest Premiun from Advanced Auto Parts. No need to research it, it's a "forum approved filter", as is the MircroGard Select.
