Finding Service Champ HP Filters?

[ashneale44]

I was doing some digging on the forum and saw that there’s a service champ synthetic HP line of filters that looks really nice and wire backed? But they are hard to find. They appear to be a PGI build but not sure. Would like to know if any other brand is making that since the Endurance and similar filters are going away.

Those are PGI made. But it’s much easier to find the PGI Carquest EP which is also 100% synthetic and wire(nylon) backed.

What's the difference between Carquest Premium and EP?

The EP is 100% synthetic and wire backed. Rated for 20k miles. 99.5%@25 microns.

The Premium is syn blend, not backed and rated for 10k miles. 99.5%@20 microns.

Thank you! I'll keep both of those on my short list.

I went through the same thing looking for them. Other than a few loose cases that randomly show up on Ebay, I have yet to find somebody that does direct retail.

Only available at Advance Auto Parts if you didn't know that. The media is nylon mesh backing.

Here's a cut open of a new one.

It's expensive by itself but if you get it in the oil change bundle it knocks it down more than half the price fwir.
