PREMIUM Guard PG-4459 EX CUT OPEN

This filter and unknown oil was on a friends 2020 KIA Forte she just purchased. 30k on vehicle. Was a window sticker so if I read it right oil and filter has maybe 800~ miles. Put a OEM spin on filter and some QSUD 5w30 in and on.

These PG filters really look darn near perfect when cut open. Say whatcha want but these filters made across the Pacific are legit.

They click all of the boxes I like in an oil filter. Round holes in center tube, metal crimped seam, coil spring, and silicone ADBV. Thanks for the C&P.

@53' Stude thank you for the c&p. Quick question: from your experience are these the same as STP XL china filters at AZ? They look pretty good. I want put these in contention since Autozone price is right for the OC specials. Walmart is annoying to drive to around here. Thanks.

I want to say yes honestly. I’ve saw a lot of Ecoguard filters on stuff at work too. No issues. We may go to those. This Auto Extra Mexican made trash is

They are the same I believe too.

The STP XL filter and the Federated Auto parts XL filter were exactly the same construction. Specs were the same and the black powder coat with a bit of grip on them too. The Federated Auto parts XL filters were $5.39 like 4 years ago. That was a very good price for that at that time.

Nicest pleats I've ever seen on an oil filter.
