This just came off my 2023 Colorado ZR2. 4,200 miles on it with QS FS 5w-30. Appears to be made by Champ. No complaints.

Maybe they should use champ labs for all their ultras. This one looks great.
Agreed
Thanks for sharing! First time I’ve seen one of these. Looks good.
An Ultra with a Champ baseplate, ecore tube and no waves. Interesting. 
I can't recall seeing a Champ Labs made Ultra before. Guess it shouldn't be surprising as there have been some Champ Labs made Orange Can posted in the past. 4200 miles, pleating does look better than many of the posted Fram made. I can't make out date code, 22350? Imo, good it still has the outer baseplate. Looks fine.
Thanks for c&p.

Thank You.
This filter looked great and I would have no problem using them in the future.
M1 EP 5w-30 went back in with an AC Delco PF66 filter. The PF66 also looks to be made by Champ.
That's a good looking filter, especially without a wire backing. I have one of these laying around for my 3.0 Duramax, but was hesitant to use it when I saw the inside after getting it home and getting the tape off of the box.
Looks like I'll use it now.

This ultra also dosent have the black grippy layer on top. Did they just take a champ xl and give it an ultra paint job? Would still be an upgrade in my book but, oh boy oh boy!
Supertech MP becoming the new ultra?lol
That would be my guess too. If they used the XL then it could be the 99% at 20 compared to the MP line up.
Fram's website advertises them as 99%+ at 20 microns.
You bring up a good point, my Young Apprentice, LOL.
Let's get serious, how would this Oil Filter look at 10K, 15K, or 20K
Is Fram going to do the Ecore Thing on all of their Oil Filters?
Right, but that was a "fram made" fram, it was a Champ Labs filter made for fram.
An Ecore Ultra? Wonder if it even has the sprayed-on synthetic media?? Or is it a CHAMP XL at an Ultra price…
If I was crazy enough to buy a non-wire backed Ecore Ultra, it better be dirt cheap!

Trust me, non wire-backed Ultra=First Brands can BITE ME! Only thing “Ultra” is the ULTRA-HIGH PRICE!
