Champion Labs is part of UCI Inc, that includes Airtex, ASC water pumps and formerly, Wells Vehicle Electronics. FRAM, Autolite and Prestone are part of a company called auto parts holdings (Prestone has since been sold). UCI Fram no longer exists. FRAM and Autolite are very healthy and will operate alone. FRAM and Champ will continue to have a cooperative agreement to supply each other as needed. I am staying with FRAM and Autolite as Technical Director.

So this means according to the article all the nice premium M1, RP, TRD, Castrol, and others we enjoy, as well as E-Cores, will be made in China or Mexico soon? Not nice. We will see if it is true though. Good luck to the 75 people left at the factory, if they are still there.

What are the efficiency ratings of Royal Purple engine oil filters?
Based on ISO 4548-12 multi-pass test methods the filter efficiencies are:

99% at 25 microns and larger
98.7% at 20 microns and larger
80% at 10 microns and larger

Average beta rating based on ISO 4548-12 multi-pass test methods:

B100 = 25 (which means at 25 or greater micron; media is 99% efficient.)
B75 = 20 (which means at 20 or greater micron; media is 98.7% efficient. Also considered absolute rating.)
B5 = 10 (which means at 10 micron or greater; media is 80% efficient.)

And this is about the same as amsoil. Can't find the link for amsoil filter that had these exact same numbers.

I can't find these kind of efficiency numbers for any other filters... Just 99% but no disclosure of what micron size.

It is cheaper to use a a Royal purple filter and a really good oil like Pennzoil ultra and only need to change the oil every 7,500 or 10,000 miles than it is to buy cheap and change every 3,000 or 5,000 miles. IMHO.
