Has anyone tried Costa filters?

[JohnnyJohnson]

Looks pretty well priced for a filter they claim 98% @ 20u

Can you tell us the performance specs of the filter media you use / spec?

To add ... were they tested per the ISO 4548-12 efficiency spec?

Re. the emoji listings - we are actively changing those right now. We have hired a new marketing firm to promote the filters, and a new website is on the way, our oil change business has grown from 10 locations when we first started making filters to over 70, and that growth took over our filter biz.

Just hire a designer on Upwork or Fiverr to make some custom oil filter themed SVG icons. It'll give it a professional touch.

Seems like they combine both Honda and Subaru filters into the single smaller Subaru size filter....As I don't see a ph7317 equivalent
Odd their aren't more threads of these cut open

I just bought a case of fl910s sized filters. I will cut one open when they arrive.

Update:

I haven’t received a shipping notification
I haven’t received the product
My emails are unanswered
Tried IM’ing them on the website. No responses

I’m hesitant to call them but if I don’t see a status update in a couple days I will

Maybe it’s on back order or maybe things are coming from outside North America

We (myself included) are so used to instant gratification it’s hard to be patient sometimes

Hopefully @CostaKapo is still around and will chime in

I ordered on June 9th and had UPS tracking info by June 11th with delivery on June 13th by USPS as last mile delivery. Label was address out of their MD warehouse. My only niggle is they ship it in the case box packaging and did not double box it. Nothing was damaged but I can see that being an issue for some.

That box does look like it's pretty heavy duty cardboard. Plus the filter boxes are packed tight so they aren't flinging around inside like a rookie Amazon shipment packaging job, lol. Did you cut and post one yet? ... maybe I missed it if you did.

No, I have not cut one open yet. Probably will not until I actually use one. Seems to be well constructed and has a silicone ADBV, P style gasket with holes for the center tube. What little I could see from the looking through the center tube holes, the pleats look plentiful and tight.

Does it have a date code?

 

[Hootbro]

Does it have a date code?

Nothing that is readily visible. If I can find my UV light, I will look for it and report back.

 

[Urshurak776]

I rolled the dice. For $27, I'll see what I get. Purchased on Ebay. Says delivery in 1-4 days.

 

[Urshurak776]

Update: Just received shipping notice and tracking number. Origin says Hanover, PA.

I still have nothing

That's wild.......I know you ordered from their website. Hope you get it soon.

FWIW, I ordered from their website also. Do not know why you are falling through the cracks on this.
