I was thinking of ordering a Premium Guard extended life oil filter off Amazon, I seen something on them on Whip City. What do you all know about them?

Nothing like that by me...
There's nothing inherently wrong with them.
Autozone STP could be those filters reboxed (and also overpriced)
If you're buying other parts as well, check out Rock Auto and see if the PG ships from the same warehouse as your other stuff.

There's nothing wrong with them just overpriced.. am I correct, in assuming that? But if you're paying $9 and about the same price for one of them aren't you better off with one of them if there are better filter? Accept the fact that they are made in China or Vietnam and if there is ever a problem you would probably be in trouble.. trying to claim it.
The AutoZone STP XL (Extended Life) filters have looked well built per the C&Ps posted here. Their efficiency isn't bad either. Think they are ~$10.
STP EXTENDED LIFE S3600XL NEW CUT OPEN
Had this filter so figured why not cut it open. Looks good for a 4-6k OCI I’d say. Enjoy the photos and Happy Friday 🇺🇸🇨🇦

That is an ecore design now.
The one Stude cut open (I added a link above) had louvers. Haven't seen any STP XL lately. Are all STP XLs now eCore, or only some models?
Here's a recent C&P ... does have an eCore center tube, but looks designed right. I don't think it would be anything to be concerned about. Seems some filters are going with the eCore nylon cage with metal end caps, which is a decent design IMO.
STP S7317XL Cut Open
Good looking little filter off of my dad's Ridgeline. OLM was at 10%. USA COO. Champ?

Maybe it depends on the filter 
They are not the same size as a factory filter. Half the size.
