AUTO EXTRA 618-10255 MULTIPLE TEARS

[53' Stude]

This filter was off of a 2018 Chevy Tahoe 4WD at work. Had Safety Kleen “eco ultra 0w20 DEXOS 1 Gen 3 and this for 7,100 miles. Pretty ***** and UN ACCEPTABLE!

Put same filter back on and more Safety Kleen 0w20 in and on. 40,090 miles on odometer.

Be better off with quality materials and do it less often to break even.
That’s an expensive vehicle someone else will own one day …

I wish my work would go back to CHAMP LABS filters. Used them for years, never any issues

No kidding. Increasing the budget by $0.50-1.00 per filter would have a nice quality impact with minimal financial difference.

As I said; I tried talking the high ups into going back to CHAMP LABS. No dice. I’m just a peon mechanic so…

Wow. I just bought two of these for my truck because I couldn’t find anything else. Not sure that I’ll be keeping them now. Parts guy at work insisted they were made by Wix but I am not sure he is correct.

I don’t think either of our comments were directed at you, just a general statement on when cheap can be costly.

I apologize sir, I didn’t read your whole reply. It’s all good

They were WIX made; nowM&Hmakes em’.

I’d return them after seeing this mid 2021 made one here that failed. Get a Tough Guard or Champ Labs or CHAMPION filter is my 2 cents

Another 'wide pleat spacing' fail. Trash. These are made for AE, I would assume to their specifications. In any case, must be other jobber filters available for similar price. The Puro made AE the best of the lot posted recently.

Thanks for c&p.

Lately I’ve put a AUTO EXTRA 57502 on some GM apps for friends.

Gets the "wide pleat spacing" award for 2022.
Wide pleats and delta-p don't get along.

If there was ever proof wide pleat spacing = pleat tears, this is it.

I wonder how cheap they are, considering the Champ Ecores are under $2 (plus shipping, of course) from Rock Auto. You guys should be able to get the Service Champ hook up too (not sure if it’s any less$).
