Prime Guard makes a synthetic filter also

It’ll probably run with the top dawgs
Be interesting to see the price and construction, and if truly a full synthetic filter. Showing 99%@30um, not as efficient the much liked PremGuard filter sold at O'R.
Yeah, not sure the prefix acronym POS the best choice for this filter line.

I can't imagine a better selection criteria for an oil filter.
Is it a SYNTHETIC oil FILTER, or a SYNTHETIC OIL filter?
Marketing mentions upgraded ADBV and upgraded gasket. Nothing about media.

I’ve used those Premium Guards before. Not the Microgard version, but the actual Premium Guard. Even the gasket is silicone on them. Great filters. The Ecogard Synthetic+ is another good filter.Be interesting to see the price and construction, and if truly a full synthetic filter.

I've used the Ecogard synthetic 4612 oil filter and I agree it's a nicely made filter even though IDK it's efficiency ratings. The Prime Guard and Ecogard seem identical and I'd bet they are made by the same company....I wouldn't be surprised if the Premium Guard in the OP is the same filter as the Ecogard synthetic too.
English is probably not their first language...
Excellent observation. Their website says nothing about the media either.

I had gotten a good deal on a case of 12 Prime Guard POF1403's for my Malibu for $33/shipped from eBay awhile back, but the seller sent me the wrong p/n filter. Didn't have the right ones in stock either. Gave up on the whole Prime Guard thing. LOL
Time to call in the "cut and post" crew. They can excise the media and inspect it under a 10X loupe.
Oh, I forgot they don't do that; Just Oohs and Ahhs allowed
O'R Microgard Select EL also has silicone sealing gasket. Unlike adbv, not that it makes a big difference in sealing gasket, 'imo'.
Good question. Some makers market a for synthetic oil change filter as a "Synthetic" oil filter. Sight unseen speculation, I'm going with a blended media filter.

I like the advanced terminology. That’s what these longer drain interval filters should be labeled as. “Advanced Media, anti drain back valve and sealing gasket” for extended drain intervals.
So basically a SuperTech Maximum Performance filter.
If this filter is the same as the Premium Guard, which as you know some are, then we can see Prime Guard claiming 99%@30 while Premium Guard says 99%@25.

POS= Premium Oil Series?
Sounds better than the alternative...
