I'm placing an order off Rock Auto for oil filters, one of the filters I'm interested in ordering, is the Prime Guard XL oil filter and I came across this, where it says various manufacturer.. anybody have any knowledge with these?
Thank you..
Thank you.Those are the various brands made by Premium Guard that Rock Auto sells afaik.... So it should be the same filter with a Premium Guard, Pronto or Parts Plus sticker on it but they will all be that Extended model which you show on your photo.
Thank you.
Thank you again, I will probably order a Wix to go along with it, since I never used them Chinese filters before..Also if you click on the info link for that filter.. you will see the alternate model numbers at the top left of that page which are PO2500EX which is Pronto, and the PH500EX which is Parts Plus.

Great question.My question is a bit off topic. Help me understand what is the value of buying oil filters through RockAuto?
For my vehicle, the lowest priced filter, a Champ PH2867 is priced at $1.63. If I order one shipping is $4.99 for a unit price of $6.62.
If I order 3, shipping is $7.99 - unit price ends up being $4.30
If I order 4, shipping is $8.99 - unit price ends up being $3.87
At my local WalMart I have a couple of choices without having to buy in quantity and will cost less.
- Fram PH7317 for $4.17 that has better performance specs and I can inspect it prior to purchase.
- Supertech ST6607 for $3.84
We are looking for silicone, right?Soon there will be a "PlayC&P" magazine with a centerfolds showing only filters with laser straight pleats.
An oil filter focused magazine might not be a bad idea (I've seen more weird stuff magazines at the local super markets). The next guy doing that might end up mistakenly become the next millionaire. Of course it has to be as valuable as any industry focused magazines with courtesy and partnership in sharing technical information, developments, and trends that is consumable to the average joe.Soon there will be a "PlayC&P" magazine with a centerfolds showing only filters with laser straight pleats.
^^^ "Oil Filter Monthly" ... keeping the oil filter connoisseur up to date on the latest oil filter news. Complete with the monthly centerfold ... but most would only look at the photos and not read the articles.
I'm in. Haven't seen a centerfold in a while. Hopefully it's like the old snap on calendars.^^^ "Oil Filter Monthly" ... keeping the oil filter connoisseur up to date on the latest oil filter news.

Never added up to me either. I guess if you need to order a part anyway it might make sense to tag some filters on but otherwise shipping cost good out the savings.My question is a bit off topic. Help me understand what is the value of buying oil filters through RockAuto?
