Torn between these two budget filters. Either the ST10358 and the CH10358. Both should be good for 5k I believe. The ST is made in the USA, and the Fram is made in China.
Not sure on the ST but the Fram claims 95% over 20 microns.
From Fram website:
FRAM Group testing of average filter efficiency of PH8A, 3387A and 4967 or equivalent FRAM TG or XG models under ISO 4548-12 for particles greater than 20 microns.
I'm guessing they're pretty much the same in efficiency rating. Fram says 95 @ 20+ and I believe I saw someone say ST claims 99 @ 30...so same thing different ways of saying it I guess
Mahle makes a very good filter for that application, made in Austria
But right now, Napa has a sale on their Napa Platinum filters for only $5.99. Napa #47064 . Napa Platinum is the same as Wix XP, which is like the Fram Ultra. Made in Poland.

ST is $2.97 +tax
CH is $5.63 +tax
They are so close I'd get one of each and use them over a couple OCI increments and see what the look like vane wise when you pull them out.
