V0-39, 2014 Kia Optima, 7,900~

So, here is a V0-39( Valvoline) filter from a Kia Optima. 43k on car and had Valvoline 5w30 conventional in the sump. Looks OK to me; what say the BITOG faithful? LOL!

It does look good, nice pleat spacing. Who's making these now?

Thanks again Car51. I too think this looks very well constructed and held up well. Not even the wavy pleats many here disapprove of. Especially for a 7900 mile oci.

Zee0Six: I have heard they're China made, but......


Wemay: you're very welcome my friend ;-)

That's not really a Valvoline filter, it just uses the Valvoline part numbers. My previous employer uses that filter. They are generic, made in china filters.

Having said that, I never used one on my car. The picture looks ok though.

YW. I'm not sure who really makes those but I have seen the identical filter labeled as Ecoguard and Prime Guard. Only difference is just paint.

Gotcha, and thanks for any and all info sir

Thanks for the C&P. Held up extremely well.

Based on the pictures, I certainly would not have any qualms running one of those on my car for a standard OCI.

It reminds me of a Driveworks.
