Amsoil Oil Filter Update

[4wd]

That's true, the 6.0L filter wasn't a Fram.

Wow, that’s a big filter !

This may be it!

Good Lord I hope they have knowledge to not make internal leakers!

I sure hope the retooling took care of it.

Here's hoping a return to the standards they set 20 years ago!

Amsoil has never that I know of listed suppliers by name and never were all the filters "re-branded Frams".

Detectives here "analyze" filters and deem who they think produce them all the time.

Of course yes

Could just be a stock image. It's the same one shown on their website here too: https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-oil-filter-eaoilfilt/

Maybe, but the link @Pablo linked was about the new Amsoil filters. Would have to compare the filters on that page with what the old Champ Labs Amsoil filters looked like.

Who's going to be first at getting one of these for a C&P ?

If this is updated it’s a new leaf spring design!! Also mentions some use a coil spring!!

Spring choice varies based on filter design, it says. Could still have the leaf spring with the bypass built into the end cap, like that exploded view shows.

Your feedback from the members here might have made them rethink the leaf spring & bypass valve setup.

I should hope they know without public input but maybe it was more of a care than knowledge thing if you follow

Thought their reply back to you was something along the lines that they had never heard about the ruffled leaf springs and resulting internal leak gap before? If they never found out about it, then they wouldn't have a reason to rethink the design.

My hopes are they went to holes instead of louvers and a coil spring......glad to hear that Champion Labs has been resurrected.

@Pablo Dang it. Did you not say who is manufacturing the filters, or is it the whiskey again? The people around me keep telling me that it's over, and I need to go to an assisted living facility, so this is not going to go well for me if I missed something.

Thank you.

Here's snap-shot that shows how those exploded views looked like on 7/29/2025, little over a year ago.

In this figure, they showed the two different setups, instead of noting it. The Amsoil filters made by Champion Labs as you know had the Fram style leaf spring with the bypass valve in the leaf spring.

Thanks for the update @Pablo

So the one listed as available now are the new filters? Or are they just remaining old stock? If they are new someone needs to grab one and cut it open.
