I decided to purchase a Royal Purple on amazon.com model 10-2808 for my application. The first order never arrived. The second order was lost for a week, I have 2 day *(prime shipping).
The RP filter arrived today in a very large thin envelope. The filter was separated from the box. I noticed rust around the ring in numerous locations and metal shaving inside the threads. I tried grabbing the shaving with pliers and they fell into the filter. Have no idea where the rust is coming from?
Several reviews on amazon talk about rust on these filters. Crazy! The merchant was amazon, not a third party. According to ToysNCars on Youtube the Amsoil oil filter is thicker and has more pleats than the Royal Purple filter.
But, I had already ordered some Amsoil filters from Pablo. Just wanted to compare filters. He is always a pleasure to do business with.
The irony is that Champanion manufactures both filters. They look exactly alike, but are made to different specs. The filter is $12.00 on amazon and the Amsoil is $17.00. Although, I have a stash of Fram Ultra filters. No complaints on those filters.
*I have no affiliation to any of aforementioned companies.
Respectfully,
Pajero!
