Love it !!!!!!! Can’t wait for the weekend !!
Decided to Try a Carquest Premium.
- Thread starter john_pifer
- Start date
Well,..................I received my 15) Carquest Premium oil filters from Advanced Auto. Looks as if they ship like Amazon, a BIG box, and a sheet of brown shipping wrap that is 36in long and I can crumble up to a size of a softball. Shake it and filters are flying around all over the box. It had to be tossed around at UPS since the brown tape with fiber in it was busted on the bottom and top. I don't have time to inspect them today but those filters where "a James Bond SHAKEN and not stirred" items in that box. Would of been nice to get some more paper crumbled at the bottom and top to make sure nothing gets damaged. Maybe anyone ordering a nice amount of filters, it may be a better choice to go to the store and not let UPS beat to crap out of the filters. Just saying.

Made time to check it out, all ok. They are robust filters. Made in China.
Varies between Vietnam or China bases on model number.
If all the same model, then looks like both factories can also make some of the same model number. They all have the same date code?

i spend enough at my store that the GM just lets me walk to the back and grab whatever i need lol. i will only deal with one singular AAP and it’s my store. i refuse to deal with other stores or AZ/orileys. if my store doesn’t have it i have them transfer it in before purchasing.
No, four different vehicles/filter models. I don’t remember off the top of my head the PN but the China filter was for the GM 3.6 in the Equinox.
Ugh, brain fart on my part, all the CCP’s I have are made in Vietnam.
The MicroGuard Select filter for the 3.6 that I have, MSL10255, is made in China.
Do you happen to have or know the dimensions for that filter?
SO, I thought I read here that the efficiency of these was 99% at 20 microns, however, looking at the Premium Guard website, it's showing 99% at 25 microns for the Premium Guard Extended Life.

I called PG Tech Line a while back for clarification. The official efficiencies are:
98.7%@15 microns(absolute)
99.5%@20 microns
99.9%@25 microns
It’s up to marketing of the various brands to decide which rating they use.
OK, maybe they’re under-promising and over-delivering in terms of what’s actually listed on the site.
Yep. The confusion comes in when people see 99%@20 and 99%@25. Technically both are correct but they’re leaving out the .5 and .9.
I will try this filter some day
If this filter so well-built why it has limit only for 10K mile? Premium filter with synthetic blend media, Silicone anti-drain back valve, metal end caps, no sloppy glue residue, etc.
Are they being too conservative? Thinking what are cons using slightly longer

absolutely yes IMO.

High efficiency filters usually have a short service life, rule of thumb being longer service life = lower efficiency & vice versa.
I was warned by an analyst years ago that the old Pure One would clog up early due to their high efficiency, so change them out sooner.
But high efficiency doesn’t sell filters, long life does.
