Had to do a quick stop at autozone and saw these. Any info on them? Looked like purolater made them.
Stp "enginered for 10000 miles" oil filters

I just bought a cartridge for one of my engines. Will see in a year if it deforms like the Purolators did.
The usual overpriced stuff at Autozone. I can buy three Fram Pro Series Synthetic filters for the cost of two of these STP XLs.
Not worth it. Cheap Korean Purolators for the price of an Ultra. No thank you.
The one i looked at said made in usa and well built as well as heavy

Take a gander at the STP XL I chopped. Not very re assuring at all
Been some threads on them already but I looked them over when I was in AZ recently (that doesn't happen very often ha ha).
I think it is all about profit, the margin on those has to be higher than the Fram Tough Guards that now seem to be gone from AZ. Same advertised efficiency and mile use rating of 10k as the Tough Guard. Coincidence? I think not. IMO they are really about a 5 buck filter they are trying to sell for almost double that.
If they were 4-5 bucks I'd probably try one for fun.

stay away from anything made by tearolater, Their new filters are coming out soon wait about 2 years just to be safe and if they are reported as an ok filter then maybe try one but only after their is no drama after 2 years.
Im sort of happy they started tearing i like wix now like i have said in all their grades Wix has good filters.

Funny thing is-AZ actually has a pricing error on the Ultra for the Powerstroke-they're only $9.99 for an XG3786, substantially cheaper than WM or anywhere else I've seen-& $4 CHEAPER than the inferior STP Extended Life one.

All made in Korea when I made this post. The quality is not top tier, ie: overpriced
