New Carquest EP Oil Filters

[TheOilWizard]

PG must have insane production capacity. They seem to make filters for absolutely everybody now.

They contract with plants around the world to make their products for them. Easy to scale this way and no need to invest capital into manufacturing facilities.

Just got one for c&p. I’ll start a new thread. AAP says they just got them in and don’t even have a place for them yet.

If the media looks to be full synthetic as claimed (and wire backed ?? ... @Glenda W. C&P will show), then I would think it's pretty high efficiency and capable up to their claimed 20K miles. The new Mobil 1 is still rated at up to 20K, but it's 99% @ 30u efficiency.

Why would they have LESS EFFICIENCY than Carquest Premium?? Doesn’t make sense?

Why does the "higher tier" Boss and Wix XP have less efficiency than their lower normal tier filter line? Don't be surprised if this 20K EP filter has less efficiency than the 10K rated Carquest Premium.

Same story with the NAPA Platinum and Gold. The Gold was cheaper and higher efficiency.
