STP oil filter

About the same as Supertech, or AC/Delco in design. The medias may or may not be the same. IMO, spend half a buck more and get a Purolator.
 
Purolator Classic. I used 5 over-sized Classics today for some oil changes. They are on sale this month at Kmart for about $3.00.

Good filter, Good Price and gets the job done.

I haven't that I can tell by looking, but there has been discussion on this forum that the Delco has its own media requirement.
 
The STP & AC/Delco e-core's I've cut open held up better than the Super Tech's, and the formers had more milage. But the ST's were longer filters, witch may enhance the e-core's folding abilities.
 
It's a filter design made by champion labs. It uses a plastic cage and not a metal center tube. It's bypass is also part of the rubber adbv. Most STP, super tech, and ac delco are this design. When you go to the store just look down the center tube. If it's plastic with large openings it's an ecore.

I don't trust them entirely. Some of these on this forum apparently have had the media cut and pushed through the rather widely spaced plastic cage grids by the oil pressure. Then I assume it goes into the engine.

I want a metal center tube.
 
I try them a while back. I don't know the results since I didn't open it after I used it, but from the looks of it it's very cheap made. Get a better filter like every mention Purolator, Motorcraft or a Napa Proselect.
