Unless they're all 3" or greater in diameter, they're not all Ecore's.
Yes, they're made by Champ Labs.

ph2840 In a Wix it's a 2.97 can diameter ..even smaller in ST. This should not be an Ecore.

What you need to look for is the "blue button" for a bypass valve. The clicker type was a weak(er) point on the Champ low ball offerings. It never appeared to give any BITOG'R trouble ..but a quick lube owner ..with lots of cars with unknown mileage/time on the filter would show breached media.
Email Champ ..or call them. The contact info is on their web site.

Yep, here is a Service Champ filter I pulled from the FIL's Toyota Camry when I first started maintaining it. Equivalent name brand filter is Purolator 10241/Fram 3614/Wix 51348.
It's a standard ecore, endcaps were secure but the pleats were unevenly spaced.
OCI from what I can determine from their records was about 2700 miles and 16 months. I've since put them on a six month OCI regimen due to their daily city driving/idling and this engine's reputation as a sludger. (Their Camry only has 20k miles on the odo after nearly a decade!)

Champs almost always have a odd pleat spacing at the seam. It's because a human pushes it together.
They use them at a mechanic I go to, there's one on the Daewoo I maintain (they changed it last time it was in the shop since they had to change the valve cover gasket and some PCV hoses), and I could cut one apart and post pics when I change it next if you want (probably in 2 months or so)
