Royalty Auto Service Cuts Open 9 Oil Filters from Different Brands

[rstcso]

Royalty Auto Service cuts open 9-10 oil filters from different brands and product lines, only to find several are identical, and seem genuinely surprised at what they found. They do not claim to be filter experts. This is not an in-depth analysis, but a quick comparison of those they cut open.

They probably wanted a redo video after those WIX filter vids they put out. Good to see any shop actually cutting them open for comparison. That comment though... "I think that WIX owns Mann now"

BITOG has multiple mentions in the 137 comments since this video was posted two hours ago. Get ready for yet more "best filter" and "who makes?" threads!

Many don't know that the big filter makers supply filters under many different brands. Kind of like batteries, many brands are made by the same companies.

I think these guys had their eyes opened when Napa dropped Wix and they had PG in the shop. It’s crazy how behind even shops are on filter quality and buyouts.

Let along to use the right words for the parts inside oil filters, or how sometimes those parts work.

Decent video. Easy to crap on them for some minor missed or incorrect details and points, but they are good snapshot of the average mechanics knowledge is not into the weeds of the parts they install, just that they do the job for what they are intended.
