Eco guard Air Filter Quality ?

I used a few in cars I have serviced over the years. They seemed fine to me. Pretty much like OEM in the applications I have used.
Same experience here
Best thing you can do is not change the filter until it's well used. New filters let in a lot of dirt. Get your money's worth.
I have used Ecogard in a few different cars and they were fine. As others mentioned it's hard to tell how good they are, but they seemed to be well made and sealed well.
I’ve used them more than once. Priced well (at times) sturdy and no issues with fit. I used one in my daughter’s journey and she ran it till it was dirty enough to change, about 50k. When she traded the car it had almost 200k and used not a drop in 10k intervals. I currently am using carquest premiums I got from rock auto for next to free and they’re equally as good.
They feel solid, made of quality materials. However, I looked at a comparison test of multiple air filters recently and saw Ecogard's efficiency is below most other air filters including Fram and Super Tech/Champion Labs.
I’ve used them several times over the years in different vehicles. Nothing bad to say!

I am using one now.. they seem very well built but not sure about the filtration quality.
this vid shows the Ecogard did not do well at all but this is the more rare filter design afaik.. I have the other style with the white material and not sure how spot on this brand ranks testing is, as their oil filter testing method got blown apart fwir over in the oil filter secition.

I used an Ecogard on a 13 Suzuki SX4 a few days ago. The filter I took out was a Tokyo Roki Suzuki filter (our last one, installed in 08/2019 @60.7K miles) that was in service for ~36K miles; could have gone much longer based on condition.
In any case, the replacement Ecogard appears to be built well and I have no concerns about it. Some OE filter heavy pictures

:Perhaps reach out and ask their efficiency stats? I did with Premium Guard and was surprised that they provided me with good details.
As others have said, they appear well built but I don’t think people have ISO figures. I would figure that they’re good based on their oil filters, but that would be pure speculation.
