Owner ship doesn't necessarily effect the end product.

Not really. Still made by Champ but now under the bigger more recognizable Fram name. Same with K&N.
The Fram Wally TLE filters are made by Champ. Like the old SuperTech's with texture.

Thankfully, my S-25's escaped that fate.

My, how things have changed. I still have some pre-Ecore filters in my basement. IMO, these were some of the best filters made, especially when WM was selling these for $1.49. Now I'm sure the Mobil 1 filters are better than the old SuperTech filters, but $10 better?

Are there really any good methods of evaluating the performance of a full flow oil filter and comparing one filter against another? Different oils have published specs and you can do a uoa if you think that will help. But what do you do with an oil filter?

All you have to go by is Beta Ratio (ie, efficiency X% @ Y microns) and holding capacity in grams. Not all filter manufacturers advertise this data.

Yes, but paid 3 of that price. See link.
Bosch Dist. Plus 3323
To topic, think high end Champ made filters like M1, K&N and Royal Purple will stay high quality.

Just to add a little info for those people who hadn't heard about this.
Some people get confused by the name Fram Filtration and now say "Fram owns Champion Labs," which is wrong.
Here's a little background info:
In 2011 a company called The Rank Group bought Fram and some other stuff from Honeywell. At that time, the Rank Group was already in the process of buying UCI International, the parent of Champion Labs.
Rank Group website:
http://www.rankgroup.co.nz/
Article on the Rank Group buying Fram:
http://www.aftermarketnews.com/Item/8374...50_million.aspx
The Rank Group combined all the Honeywell and UCI stuff into their new automotive group, known as the UCI-Fram Group.
http://www.ucinc.com/
Rank has combined all the filtration assets into a new organization called Fram Filtration. I can only assume that's because the Fram name is more recognizable than the Champ Labs name.

They are now under the First Brands Group , who has been on a buying spree.
Trico & Anco are now owned by them as well.
