Changed the oil in my 2005 Jeep LJ this weekend. Used some QS HM semi-synthetic I got on clearance at AZ ($2/bottle) and a STP S16 I already had on the shelf, from another package oil buy deal at AZ a couple of years ago. It appeared to be an e-core design. Also, I compared it to an AC-Delco PH13 from a stash I got a couple of years ago, when AA was selling fleet/bulk 12-packs of AC-Delco filters for around $8 (yep, $0.75 filters!). The STP and the AC-Delco appeared identical, both e-cores, even the blue paint seemed to match, as well as the font of date code markings. Both made in the USA. So, likely the same manufacturer?
I only put 3-4K miles on my LJ yearly, so I think this will work okay. The new filter is a little shorter than the white Purolator L14670 I took off.
