would you run this RP/Champ filter or pass?

[rumcapital23]

decided to give the champ filters a try for my next oil change but upon arriving i noticed excess glue. is this something that i should worry about? should i use this filter in next upcoming oci?

*purchased through Summit website. thanks in advanced

Wouldn't bother me, but then, I wouldn't spend extra money on it when a Toyota filter is cheap and easy to get.

I'd send those pictures to Royal Purple, and ask them if that is a normal level of quality for their products.

Well, then.... I guess the answer is "yes"... LOL. 83% look like rubbish.

That’s a LOT of glue-and on the clean, filtered oil side! Anything that breaks off is heading straight into the galleries! I would send them back, no way I’d run those.

That excess glue is on the inside, and over louvers that want to flow oil and put pressure on the glue. I would not use those filters because of the chance that the oil dP could break some glue off the louvers it's covering up. I'd send photos to Summit and Royal Purple and ask for replacements on their dime. Those are bad manufacturing QA IMO.

i'm impressed at how fast Royal Purple customer service has contacted me. they asked for pictures and order number from Summit. will keep everyone updated.

Before you send them pictures, find out who is in charge of QC, and also provide the lot numbers from the boxes and or filter cartridges themselves. Also provide a copy of your Summit invoice.

I'm allergic to anything RP, so that would be a no-no for me.

i figured if they're made by Champ then it would be as good as the Amsoils. man was i wrong.

Negative from me...this one looks ugly.

No way I'd run that.

I've not been able to find any quoted performance and life specs from seller's websites so for me I won't consider the RP filters. If someone has located specs, please share. Thank you!

I'd hate to have a piece of that come off and go through a bearing.
