The spin-on's are priced pretty well - most are in the upper $3.xx range.
Cartridge filters are a bit pricey.

Cartridge filters are a bit pricey.
I ordered a PH2867XL yesterday that came out to $7.86 total after taxes, shipping, and discount were applied. I will post pics and date code upon receiving it.
Look at what showed up in the mail today! Unless I am mistaken the build date is 12 May 2021. Biggest difference between this and other Champ XL filters that I have seen is that this one has an E-CORE and I for one welcome our new nylon overlords 
Nice! Looks exactly like the updated RP e-core 10-2867. Baseplate and all; except for media/canister(?)/purple ADBV.Look at what showed up in the mail today!

Was looking at their 500 online today - but could not find bypass PSI ?
The Royal Purple 10-2867 I have on hand has a build date of 29 July 2021 and as far as construction goes everything seems identical aside from the filter media and colors used. I do want to try out this Champ XL ASAP and if it holds up as I would expect it to I think it will become my new go-to oil filter. It looks and feels rock solid
these look nice, but shipping kills it. I think the supertech MP filters are pretty similar and a better value.
Rough equivalency:
Supertech MP = Fram Orange Can w/silicone ADBV
Champ XL = Fram Tough Guard w/silicone ADBV
Royal Purple = Fram Ultra w/wire backed media
The problem is that Fram has moved away from those designs and they are becoming harder and harder to find while I feel like Champ has stepped up their game.
Got my box of 48
Got mine in today. I opened one over lunch and it was 19xx19 so 2019 manufacturer apparently. I'll take pics and post when I get home from work.
Date code format is mmddyy ... so first two digits of 19 seems strange - ??
maybe it was 09
i'll double check when home, i should have taken a pic but i didn't >.<
Jk. They’re all 121919 13:11 dated
A little bit old, but should be OK. They have the nylon eCore center tube or the metal louvers?
They are metal inside.
Do we like the metal core ones better or the E-cores better?
Both are Ok if the louvers are opened up good (not hairline slits - yours look good). The eCore cage on the Champ Lab filters looks to be a decent design.
Isn't that the same filter as the $5.48 Supertech 20K MP at Walmart? The MP7317 looked exactly like that E-Core except for blue instead of silver and a yellow coded bypass instead of blue.

Trying out the 3.6L Pentastar Cartridge filter this oil & filter change, P1009XL on the Durango.
We'll see in a few months if it twists up like the rest of them.
