Valvoline VO-148 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good Mmorning BITOGERS

this filter and Valvoline Synthetic 5w30 was in and on a 2019 Kia Forte base model. I’m judging by window sticker it was in and on for 3,4xx miles. Put KIA/HYUNDAI OEM back in along with some Harvest King 10w30 Syn she supplied. Enjoy the pics

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that all Valvoline VO-148 filters are perfect.
Proving the naysayers wrong. Thank you Adam. Case now closed
Shame on @ZeeOSix

I will say this one is made by KIA/HYUNDAI and made for Valvoline

LoL, the Earth is flat ... until it's not. Filter looks good.

A definite H/K clone...or maybe even a relabeled one.

Looks good, thanks Adam.

Thought all Valvoline filters were Purolator? That one sure isn't!

I’m guessing it’s a HYUNDAI/KIA clone

The VO-148 is a rebadged Hyundai/Kia oil filter. They switched to using them (instead of the more common VO-106 they use on most other Japanese imports) when the "issues" using aftermarket oil filters on H/Ks created issues.
