Louvers - Again, AMSOIL EaO filters

Compare to a Royal Purple 10-48 that stares into my soul

Yeah, seems like Amsoil needs to do some work on their louver forming machine and/or operator/setup guy(s) need some more training and more QA oversight.
 
Amsoil doesn't have a machine. Pretty sure the Amsoil and RP filters come from the same outsourced factory.

Note the dates.
Correction - Amsoil needs to come down on whoever has the machines and people that make their filters. It all comes down to manufacturing engineering and QA. Sloppy manufacturing without engineering oversight and QA results in sloppy products. That's true in any manufacturing senario.

I wish I was a fly on the wall at both ends and in-between.
 
Just for OVERKILL. I know they aren’t liuvers but they are open 🇺🇸🇨🇦🍻

No not impressed with the new made in Mexico EAO 80 filter from Amsoil. Louvers are just little slits, fit for the trash.
 
There's probaly a financial (decision) reason for the louvers and not a performance factor. It's possible running sheet metal under a tooling die is more cost effective (cheaper) than punching holes in it. Who knows. Given the option, I'm choosing "flow" (Holes, cage etc.) over "slits". Same goes for the base of the filter.
 
What does BITOG faithful say?

2016 made Bosch D+ 3325. Crosses to Fram 4386
