Who makes this oil filter?

[exls]

Got a couple of these for my dads car and was wondering who makes them and are they decent filters? They are really heavy compared to the Bosch 72200 I usually use.

it's probably one of those made in china ones. the kind quick lube places use since it's dirt cheap
cut it open. i couldn't find anything with just the brand name. maybe the inside might give us a clue

Show us a picture of the base. The part that screws on to the engine block..

Weight has very little to do with filtering capabilities. The bosch and P1's are some of the finest filters you will find.

We would likely need to see the parts of it to know who makes it.

Sorry thought I posted the base too.

Pull back on the camera. I feel like a bug flying into a huge oil filter. I bought a case of Chinese oil filters on Ebay and it looks alot like them. But its hard to tell by the pictures. They are too huge.

I do believe it is a FRAM private label. I went to the local Mavis that just opened, and asked what they used. They use Havoline oil and TVI Worldwide, which he said is a FRAM private label. So FRAM Extraguard with different paint likely.

The more round unpainted base crimp looks similar to an Asian filter like Full, NPN etc. Also the plastic base cover isn't seen on US filters that I know of, and the o ring gasket with edge is not found on US filters I know. I call the crimp Asian because I think they buy the same machines. American crimp, as I call it, is flatter, more even with the can side. I like the flat crimp for no other reason than, to me, it looks more developed.
