Good Afternoon folks. For me, the jobber filters I like are CHAMP and STP and Prime Giard. What jobber filters do you folks use and or like?
Your favorite jobber oil filters?

Can't say I have any favorite jobber filters. If I had to choose I'd say whatever filters the Castrol quick lube place in town used for the few years I used them.
I also try & avoid w/exceptions of the "Leak Tested" ones that are excellent under all brand names. Ecogard, Prime guard, Pronto, Premium Guard, etc if they're a decent price. If they are equal price to an extended mileage 10k-15k+ synthetic blend filter then I'd consider moving up instead.

Quit using jobber filters in the shop 10+ years ago.
Most of the quick lubes I frequently use go with VO filters. Works as it is supposed to. 
Filter guessing is getting to complicated with constantly changing ownership of previously trusted brands, I quit trying, too much like playing "Wack-A-Mole". I drive only Hondas so I just use the factory filters PLM-A02, fully aware it's a "Fram in a Blue Can" however, my UOA's constantly come back with very low particle count and Honda warranties their vehicles using this filter. I'm not wasting my time constantly trying to track down the perfect filter, only to have them change ownership and sourcing 6 weeks later.
For a jobber, the $1.99 Prime Guard. Can’t beat it.
I really don't understand the 'jobber filter' philosophy. I don't use 'jobber oil' or 'jobber antifreeze' or 'jobber brake pads'.
A jobber filter is what? 5 bucks? Even if it's $3 a good one is only like $10......
If you normally use a 'jobber filter' it's not really a jobber, it's what you prefer, so you use it.
Now If I ran a quick lube and using a cheap $3 filter on every oil change saved me 7-8 bucks and I did 125 oil changes per week, I might use a jobber....

I only use top quality filters, like the fram endurance or the amsoil filters.
What the heck is a jobber filter?
Anything under 5 bucks if I'm reading this crowd right........
I take it to mean inexpensive oil filters bought in bulk.
Any filter supplied by a quick lube place like jiffy lube or a VIOC.
I mean, what does "jobber" mean? You could just as well call it a "cheap" filter.
