About 5k miles on this Quaker State filter from a 2012 Chevy Malibu 2.4L. Other then the twist in the media is looks fine. Anyone know who makes these? A fram extra guard went back in. If it comes out wavy we might try out the ac delco oem filters.
Only if you know you're getting Hengst, the only way I know you're guaranteed to get a Hengst is if you buy a whole new cap+filter assembly, the standalone Delco filters are usually Champ Labs and among the worst twisters.we might try out the ac delco oem filters.

QS is usually Mann & Hummel (Purolator).

Maybe you've gotten lucky, but that stock photo for that has an STP part number on it and the same stock photo is used on the Amazon listing for Champ Labs P3244, the standalone cartridges can be either Champ or Hengst, where the 458G cap should always come with a Hengst since Hengst makes the cap.The PF457G sold at Walmart is actually the OE Hengst.
