The ones you are describing are better than the e-core. So get 'em if you want a wallet friendly filter that isn't too bad.

Fram makes the micro guard filters.
No wonder they are similar looking from the cap to the media.

Yeah I worked for O Reillys during the switch. The new microgards are just black Canadian made Frams with silver lettering. If you have the older purolator ones there, buy em...they are good filters for a conventional oil change. Most will have stickers covering the old parts numbers.

Canadian-made Frams that are mostly made... In China. At least most that I have seen have been from China. But I guess it is possible that they just box up anything that they can get their hands on.

Well I heard that when the Honeywell sold off the Fram brand, the new owners were going to shut down the Canadian production line.That must have happened since I left the green team in mid 2010.

It loves them or it tolerates them?
