About the time it takes to work up a spreadsheet with all the filters and manufactures, the filters will be made by someone else. I just look on the filter box and see where it is made. Tomorrow someone else will be making it.

I'd put a Mobil 1 on that Caddy.

It's the best filter Champion Labs makes.

I think that honor now goes to the Royal Purple filter.

Not quite. We have yet to see any particulate data like we have for the M1 and the EaO.

We'll need that data to be able to be able to draw that conclusion.

Most of John Deere's Filters come from Donaldson. All of the Filter manufactures buy from each other,so they can have an greater product line, and service.

Purolator. It should already have been covered in this thread.

My Motorcraft FL820S filters are made by Purolator.

That is interesting, I wonder if those filters were made by Purolator but that Champ makes the Motorcraft filters now. I cut open a Motorcraft filter and it does not look like a Purolator I cut open but looks like a Mopar filter I have cut open, which according to their website they make.

 

[chevrofreak]

Nearly all of them are made by Purolator, including the one pictured above. Champ may make some of them, but I've never seen any.

 

[Gary Allan]

This is a Purolator made MotorCraft

The oval slots (not always) with the thread stamped into it is a Purolator trademark in the MC and Mopar filters

That should have 3 (slot) 4 (slot) 16 (slot) ...or 3/4-16 thread.

100% Purolator.

Those are both definitely Purolator filters.

I'm assuming that the Delco is no longer made by Champion? If so they had to have changed their specs, the old PF52 was never that heavy.



I feel otherwise about AC Delco filters. I used to use them exclusively on my LT1. One day I was going to change the oil and noticed my trusty AC Delco had changed. Now they look cheap and are lighter and no noticeable anti-drain back valve. But I haven't cut one open to see if my feelings are right. I just changed to Napa Gold and haven't looked back.

 

[Jason2007]

I believe that Chevy Small Blocks have the anti-drain feature in the block so that it is not needed in the oil filter but I could be totally wrong.

 

[chevrofreak]

I believe you're thinking of the bypass valve, not the anti-drainback valve.

My understanding from this site (post probably long ago) is that Champion Labs makes all factory installed Motorcraft fiters, but that the aftermarket Motorcraft filters (even those sold at the dealership) are made by Puroator.
