stp filter

[built]

Who makes the stp oil filters and are they any good.

Champ Labs and they are excellent filters for the money.

Champ labs and they are cheap and [censored], I know alot will disagree that there is nothing wrong with that plastic cage holding the paper inside, but few will disagree you would be better off with a Wix, Purolator or Napa, for little or no extra money. I would use a Fram before one of those new Champ plastic cage filters. Look down inside the hole, youll see what I mean.

Heres a picture of the Ecore oil filter.

My cars don't use this filter, but I really don't see anything wrong with the plastic center tube design. I bought one, cut it open and it seems like a very well built oil filter.

Not all STP filters are Ecore.

It's nylon, not just any old plastic. The e-core is very strong. It takes a lot of pressure to crush one.

I have no problem using an Ecore. They've just gotten a little expensive compared to other offerings.
