ST with a little leaf spring leak is probably sill more efficient than the Toyota OEM.
Super tech oil filter quality

It wouldn’t surprise me.
People seem to always get hung up on determining "flow" by visually looking at oil filters. The difference in dP vs flow of the center tube is going to be minor between an Ecore, holes or well formed louvers. Same with base plate inlet holes. Base plates that look to have smaller or less holes don't make a big difference in the dP vs flow of the base plate. The media is the biggest flow restriction in an oil filter. The dP vs flow difference of oil filter assemblies is also small enough to not really matter to a PD oil pump. That's why PD oil pumps are used on engine oiling systems.
Depends on the dP vs flow of the other components in the filter. The media is the biggest flow restriction. Have to look at the dP vs flow curve of the entire filter assembly.
Leaf spring ruffles ahoy.Favorite Champ model number. I cut one open too. Yes, the ruffles are present which is disappointing but for $3xx hard to pass up for my riding mower.
Ecore w/metal endcaps. Love these filters. Excellent quality for $3 filter. They are small. Came off my 1991 John Deere 260 GT 4.9 hours. I had to open up the engine again so short run on this filter.
Of those 3, the new Mobil 1 is best.
Amazing that the John Deere tractor use the same filter that my little Toyota 2.5 engine uses. Mine will never see dirt like that one that's amazing! Or maybe it's just a camera illusion. But 4.9 hours of use, has filtered a lot of stuff.
I have used several of that exact st filter #. All have been fine.
You really don’t need any super highly efficient or high capacity filter with the short OCIs you mentioned. The st actually has pretty decent filtration rating anyway 99% at 30um they claim. Probably about equal to Fram orange cans which claim 95% at 20um , or at least they used to. It’s a good choice IMO

Seems like the same. Fram says USA, no content %. That’s supposed to mean all made in USA. Maybe it says global components somewhere. I posted pics of the pleats next to the Toyota N1 pleats, the PH4967 looks like a toy oil filter. I don’t know if it can work well on like a Toyota 2.5 hybrid when the engine starts singing on acceleration. For some reason Fram decided to copy the Toyota N1 size. Then shrunk the element and put a wide plastic core inside. Plus the bypass seal ruffles no extra charge.
No matter, people tend to ignore what disagrees with their views anyway.
looks like an acdelco filter.Favorite Champ model number. I cut one open too. Yes, the ruffles are present which is disappointing but for $3xx hard to pass up for my riding mower.

I know it's been said before but they need to fix that part.
We'll see how long it takes. I should've done the light test.could be...
I have nothing against Super Tech filters, actually used them a bunch, but I HATE tiny filters. Every time I can get a massive filter, that has the right specs, I AM IN!
I'm a happy fan of giant filters......
Pretty much the same thing made both made by champion labs.

That is what I do. Buy 8 or 10 at a time, along with engine air filters. $3 each for the oil filters, $15 for the engine air filters, with free shipping and no tax. I used Lewis Toyota of Topeka during the winter promotion.
I have used a Supertech or Purolator in a pinch in the past, but prefer to stick with oem. I have 381,000 miles on my Tundra, so its working for me.
Must be super recent, look at this piece of junk -

That one was made almost 3 years ago. The oil filter world is to dynamic to judge today's made filters with ones made nearly 3 years ago.
there a billions and billions of miles, hard miles, on these filters.....to me=good filter.
