I know Amsoil, Royal Purple and Fram Ultra have synthetic media? What is the total list of Oil Filters with synthetic media.
 
Are you going with fully synthetic or partially synthetic?

If you are including partially synthetic, the Fram extra guard and tough guard should be added to the list.
 
Purolator Boss

Also, Amsoil = Royal Purple.
Royal Purple makes Amsoil filters and they are identical accept for color.

Amsoil EAO filters have synthetic media. The EAK line is not synthetic media from the cutaways I have done but they are still one [censored] of a filter without the synthetic media.

The non-synthetic look like Wix internally. The EAO look like Donaldson.
 
Wix XP/Napa Platinum is also a wire-backed full synthetic filter

Royal Purple does not make Amsoil's filters.
Royal purple does not make their own filters.
Royal Purple and Amsoil have Champion Labs make their filters (some of Amsoil's filters are Baldwin made). They are similar but Amsoil specs a different media.

It's not actually wire, as in metal. It's a nylon mesh material.

They're saying wire.

My bad, I was thinking of the Purolator Boss. It has the nylon screen backing instead of metal.

No problem, that's why I'm here. Checks and Balances.

Yes … have cut open a couple used as remote transmission filters … the construction is outstanding … wish the micron abilities were better …

Royal Purple does not manufacture oil filters, Champion Labs makes both filters.

The AMSOIL EaO existed long, LONG before the Royal Purple filter did. AMSOIL was probably the first company to have manufactured for Passenger Car applications a synthetic glass media filter, which utilized Donaldson's proprietary synthetic glass filtration technology and was assembled by a traditional filter manufacturer.
