These aren’t the extended drain ones, but for the cost you could just swap filters every few thousand miles. This size fits the Briggs and Stratton engine on my lawn mower so I couldn’t resist picking up a case.
Pentius 3614 oil filters $14.32 for a dozen on Amazon.

I discovered them accidentally thru investigating this deal from @NormanBuntz
Excellent price on extended filter Pentius PLXL6607 on Amazon Prime
Case of 12 extended life oil filters for Nissan, Infiniti, Mazda, Kia and others: 6607 size. Pentius PLXL6607 case price $34.71. I bought one. Only 4 cases left. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076H5XYZT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Average efficiency with above average build quality for an entry level filter at an eye popping price. Wow, never seen such a good deal on filters, only two left as I type this.
Never heard of. Probably ok for a personal car but wouldn't want to see it on a car I'm looking at buying.
Have you heard of Premium Guard? Same company. They will be getting more & more popular since the auto parts stores have started carrying them under their house brand names. These filters have excellent quality build to them. If I saw them on any of my car purchases I'd think how wise the previous owner was. LOL

There well built filters. I just put an XL on my truck, only one I had. No efficiency rating - so I likely won't buy any more, but I wouldn't hesitate to run them if the price is right.
Nope never heard of them. Other than OEM, I go for well known name brands like Fram, Purolator, Mann, Purflux, etc.
I believe some of these are now sold under Napa ? & Oreilly's offering is called Microgard Select.
I don’t think Pentius is the same company, but they definitely appear to be sourcing filters from the same place.
They have separate websites, different addresses and Pentius claims 99% at 20 microns while Premium Guard says 99% at 25 microns. I’m not sure but I am thinking only Premium Guard filters say “leak tested” on them also but not positive on that.
Back up to $42 for me now
Plus Pentius is an American corporation that got financial backing from General Motors about 20 years ago.

You're right! I get Pentius & Ecogard confused for some reason. Yes, Pentius is the company that sources a lot of their filters from South Korea and they were associated with like Dewoo or something.
I've posted this all over here about Pentius filters before.

I might sacrifice $1.19 and cut one open to post here when they arrive.
Different seller now. The $14 was from Amazon themselves.

I assume this was the XL, not the regular one? 99% aprox at 26um. Not bad, for inexpensive filter with quality build.
Yes, those efficiencies are supposedly for the XL filter line.
Yeah there were only two cases left when I first saw the post, I’m sure they went fast.
if it is the same as the premium guard filter then great, I have a lot of them on hand, and the build quality is amazing, even better than lower-tier champ filters, now filtering...I have no idea, I am using them for the initial break-in period for engines after a rebuild @500, 1500, and 3000 mile intervals and then back to known filters like champ XL and Fram Ultras
I don't think they are mostly like the PG. I was confused for a minute. I'd treat these Pentius filters differently than PG unless they say "Leak Tested" on the top then it's probably a Premium Guard filter. All that being said I've not seen anything wrong with these Pentius filters & they look like a good quality filter. It would be great if you cut & post these filters you have if you're able to.
