BECK/ARNLEY Filters?

[Mau]

Are they any good?

They have a funky color pleat for the RDX. (I think OEM pleat color was green), Wix and Fram are white. (not that the color matters)

I am currently running Wix air filter in there, fitment seems fine.

Beck Arnley products are top notch. Use them with confidence.

I agree with L_Sludger, Beck/Arnley tends to sell very good quality products. They generally just purchase OEM supplier goods and repackage them.

I specify them for many consumable items. Find their catalog at:
beckarnley dot com/beckarnleycatalog.html (make the appropriate obvious change)

Some STP and Purolator air filters are made with red paper media

Funny, I just ordered that exact filter from RockAuto after finding a nest of some sort in the RDX's airbox today. Will let you know how it is when it comes in.

Here's a pic of the mess I found, I'd guess it is a mix of about a cup each of dryer lint and grass clippings. The filter was completely coated with it.

Filter and vehicle are only a little over a year old.

nasty....you have a rodent taking residency in your intake system?

reminds me of this

Yep, I'm not sure when the critters found the time to make the nest, it's a daily driver.

Filter came in, looks good. No identifiable manufacturer markings, just "Made In China" printed on the media.

Pros: Construction is really very good: thick solid frame, good gasket seal, even secured pleats, meets OEM quality, IMHO. Red!

Cons: The filter media is not thick as the OEM Filtech air filter but definitely on par with the OTC filters from Fram/Puro/STP I've seen. Made in China, for those whom it matters to.

Mau - The OEM filter was multi-layered/colored: green layer on the dirty side, pale yellow layer on the engine side.

For the price, it's really good; but I would not go out of my way to find/purchase. Still, it came out cheaper with shipping from RockAuto than the Puro or the Fram at local parts stores.
