Looks pretty good. I always wondered if there was a real world difference in the e core and steel core with holes when it comes to flow.
 
Champ Labs made all the way. Compare to current Super Tech ST9688 linked. Excepting can color likely identical. Widened to outer edge sealing gasket, ecore centertube, 2 offset opposed ribs on compression spring and coil spring bypass combo, letter Y on baseplate.


Looks like is got the job done, at ~3100 mi. one would hope so. Thanks for c&p.

I always like how you share the info and what you know about the filters. Much appreciated 🇺🇸🇨🇦👍👍
 
Champ makes the Valvoline branded filters, last year I took a cartridge out of an Ecotec that was Valvoline branded and it was clearly a Champ made cartridge, it also twisted to hell like you'd expect a Champ ecotec cartridge to do.
