I believe they are Purolator Classic clones.
Correct.
Ok that's what they look like. Got them for 2 dollars at Menards. They only had 1 for my Silvy

They are made by Purolator, very similar to the Classics, but not exactly the same. Still a decent basic filter though.
They can tend to be a little smaller than their Classic counterparts but are a very good buy no doubt.
up here QS14612 regular price at Canadian Tire is $7.46 Fram EG7317 OCOD is $6.67. However, Wal-mart Canada recently stop carrying Fram and have Purolator and Bosch instead. Purolator classic is $4.89 while Bosch premium is &7. Wal-mart never have the filters "on special" but Canadian Tire now have the QS on sale for only $4.89. is it worth it to stock up some QS now ? can QS go for longer OCI than Purolator classic ? Honda A01 Filtech filter is $8 at the dealer.
So looking at the part numbers on them the filter for the Silverado is a Purolator number, but the numbers on the filters for the Monte Carlo match Fram numbers.

Good comparison. Also likely similar to other Puro made for commercial filters like ProMotive/Group7. And as mentioned, many/some applications are downsized and consolidated. Look similar to/same as a Classic, but likely not a clone in efficiency. Based on the dissections posted here though a well made filter.

I picked up a couple of them a few days ago. The shelves were almost cleared out, but I bought a couple of PH8A filters. Now if you think there are the old one-quart 8A filters, nope. They are the same size as the current Fram PH3600-sized filters, or about half the size. That's okay, because I'm going to use them on my daughter's V6 Mustang which specifies the 3600 filter.
A good price for $2.

A Puro Classic clone but not quite the same media. 94% at 20 micron was what I was told; the same as the old AAP Total Grips.
Great for $2.

Interesting, thought they were the same.
Well that's a no brainer up here then considering that the Classic is now cheaper than a regular priced QS.
