Who Makes What Filter? - One more time.

[Winston]

I put this list together. Maybe if we complete this list it can become a sticky so people dont keep asking over and over.
The one obvious caveat is that even though multiple brands are made by one mfg they can be very diffferent in their construction and materials.

Powerflow oil filters at murrays are purolators and all the current chrysler oil filters i have seen were purolators not frams although that could change at any time.
The trust oil filter i took apart a few years ago was a champion labs product.
I saw an oem saturn oil filter that had "fram filtration inside" printed on it and it was definitely a fram made for saturn

!

Pep Boys now carries Valvoline filters. They say "Enginered by Purolator" right on the box.

I believe Champ makes some of the North American filters for Toyota and VW.

Toyota=Denso, even the Made in USA ones

 

[TonyMazz]

Who makes the rest of the Ac-Delco if Champion doesn't ???

I will also add the Canadian Tire line of filters to the - Fram - list of misconceptions...

[daemonite]

Purolator makes the Maxlife Valvoline oil filters I found at Autozone.

 

[TurboLuver]

Who makes oil filters for John Deere? They say made in canada on the box and canister...

 

[B00SS]

This would be a good sticky!

 

[sjlee]

One change...

I think all new Quaker State filters are made by Purolator. You have it listed twice, under both Fram and Purolator. I don't think Fram makes Quaker State filters anymore.

 

[Ken2]

Clarcor makes Baldwin, Hastings, Amsoil, Casite.

Add SuperFlo to your ArvinMeritor (Purolator) line.

Add Warner and Luberfiner to the Champ Labs line.

Mann+Hummel makes Mann filters, they also make OEM for Volvo.

No sticky? Or is it bad etiquette to ask.

I dunno

I'll find out ..but until then I'll hang it here for a bit.

 

[Al]

I believe Wix makes both CarQuest Blue and Red. Blue is probably a synthetic media

 

[hondaintegratypes]

uhhhh

what about Hamp??

 

[Repecat]

An addendum to the above list: Please note that not all Honda filters are made by Fram. Some of their better filters are made by Filtech (?), and what I think is their best filter is made by Toyo Roki of Japan.
