Carquest EP P84502 (Vietnam) Virgin C&P

I think it depends on the model #. This one in this post by @Glenda W. has the p-style gasket.

"Hydrigebated" no less. Whatever that gives ya ... guess it's good for a 20K OCI or 1 year, which ever happens first.
That's known as a "P-gasket" style base gasket. The cross section of it is shaped like the letter "P".The CQ Premium I use on my Nissan Frontier has a shaped silicone seal with an inner lip that keys into a slot on the filter's base. That's a far superior design in my opinion.
This is and the fact it’s meshed backed puts in the company of very few now.
Now if we can just get that “elephant in the room” question resolved, could be a front runner… no question.

Unless the efficiency numbers come back at something like 99.9% at 15 microns I think I will just stick with the regular Carquest Premium
It is most likely going to be 99%+ at 20 Microns directly competing with the FRAM Endurance.
They probably don't expect many to buy the filter by itself so I suspect that they will end up making it part of bundles since they are dropping a few other brands from their stores.

Is labor going up in VN or are the owners pockets getting fuller? Not bad but VN.
I am liking Purolator Boss for USA#1, Bosch next from Mexico#2, and in third Denso from Thailandia #3. No VN, no, no, no. Not political. That’s my freedom to stay off the bandwagon.
My engines will run just fine, I will die, the engines get scrapped eventually, and that’s the whole story.

World affairs in trade.
Depending on efficiency, this could be a great extended oil change filter. Problem for me is, I go 5,000 miles or so between oil changes, so kind of a waste to me. I know, I know, keep the filter on for a second oil change, but...I just can't....

Thanks for the photos OP. Seems like Advance Auto Parts have caught wind of the cheapening of American made brands of oil filters on the premium segment. This looks very similar to the Service Champ HP4459 filter internals except it was made in China instead of Vietnam.
For those not on my c&p thread, I got a response today from PG. These are 99%@25 microns!
Techline had to contact engineering since these are so new.

All of those great pictures but what is the efficency at 20 Microns?

Some iPhone production is moving there too …
If it was a snake, it woulda bit ya.
Best we can offer you is efficiency at 25 microns. Deal or no deal?
No deal at the money they are asking you can get better for half the cost.
I don’t like the cost for 5k oci’s. But if I was doing extended oci’s or once per year(my Jeep) it’s an option.
If only we could get a BITOG commercial account going with AAP to drive our costs down...
