Champ XL PH2867XL CnP

[malibuguy79]

Came off my wifes 2018 Honda Fit last month, I do not have exact mileage as I was rushing and forgot to do the math, but it was changed early at 30% on the MI. So maybe like 6000miles? Oil used was Total Quartz 0w20.

A Honda genuine filter went on with VRP 0w20.

As expected, no suprises.

Media after a few weeks of wicking (mainly because I forgot about it lol)

Looks fantastic as usual

6k didn't do too much to this filter. Thanks for drying it out.

Looks good, thanks for the C&P. I currently have one of these on my mom's 2011 Fit. Kinda sucks they don't have a silicone ADBV, otherwise they would be perfect IMO. My mom just retired, I normally do a 5-6k mile OCI on her car, but in the last two weeks she has driven 10 miles total, so it might become 5-6k or 1 year.

I like the Champ filters. Every one I have cut open has looked great. Here is another great looking filter! Thanks for the c&p.

Filter does look fine. That said, agreeing with a previous comment, 'to me' a filter using the moniker XL should have/use a silicone adbv.

Thanks for c&p.

Yeah most normally do have a silicone ADBV. I have one more of this fitment thats identical. I dunno if I will use it or not on her car. May just save it for a customer. I have another Honda OEM to go on next time.

When I ordered the same filter from RA they all came with a nitrile adbv. Still fine imo but was hoping for the silicone

I dont think you could beat the Champ XL for value, even if you had a big stick.

That's what happened when I ordered a few of these. They all shipped with nitrile, which is disappointing because they advertise otherwise.

My big stick beats on the Premium Guard XL filters, sold under multiple brands. Haven't seen one without a silicone ADBV or good looking pleat spacing yet! Or Endurance, RP, or OG Ultra/Titanium on the expensive/multiple OCI side.

The best value that I have seen is under the Carquest Premium label and you should see made in Vietnam or China on them and I believe under $7 with AAP discount code usually available. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/
