Good Catch on the threads👍 I missed that.

Thanks!👍 Glad you liked the video😊

Probably made by the same company

Microgard Select as well as this model are made by Premium Guard.

You're Welcome👍 I'm glad you like the videos😊

Thanks, Scotty👍

One would think Most filters restrict until the oil warms. And that The bypass allows the oil to flow until warm enough.

This is just my opinion but, Cheap labor overseas, that's why they can make it there and sell it here and still make a profit. I think it sucks! They cut corners here because they have to pay the employees $$ and probably pay higher property taxes $$ also Insurance for employees $$ and so forth. The truth be told, the competition "other countries" dont play by the same set of rules. Thanks!👍

They could make the USA one the best but it would be triple the price and no one would buy it.

Play on words

If you follow some channels doing many UOA's, you gotta be nuts to be going over 7500 on many engines, especially alot of DI engines.

Or the "New and Improved" LOL🤣 Thanks!👍

Thanks 404👍

overseas quality has been THE quality for decades now. wake up. everything made in the us is made without pride or desire and cheaper than in china, but you pay way more at the end.

@404notfound.....I agree about Vietnam products. I actually like the clothes made there; they a much better quality than China and about anywhere else overseas.

it has an inferior tube, as does the chinese, the USA has the best tube, if I have to say why then um no point... the density of the filter paper isn't what makes a filter a good filter, they clogg quicker, do not flow as well, and may deteriorate quicker? the real test is what the medium, actually is????? filters have a tolerance, certain sizes do not need to be trapped, of course all metal you want trapped, why you want a magnet in your oil filter or why you should put a magnet about 3/4 to 1" wide the entire circumference of your filter, you want to grab any metal particles before they are filtered . . . again media type is more important than density, petroleum products can deteriorate many filtrate materials, some swell when wet, some do not, so its not how dense it appears under a microscope...

lmao cope@@deandee8082

You can’t assess filter performance visually. You need to actually test the filters. Looks can be very deceiving. Only a fool would choose a filter based solely on a teardown and visual inspection.😊

Yep, I wouldn't doubt made by the same company.

I used the "blue" equivalent STP from autozone, and my engine knocked at startup. I used Citgo supergard synthetic 5w30. If I could figure out how to send a used filter to you for cutaway, I'd be happy to do so.

@@toneyfamily1398 Just send me an email and let me know what you have to, Poker4me007@gmail.com

The "O" ring expands with heat to tighten the seal.

Thank You Greg👍

That is just one filter, does the US only have one domestic filter manufacturer?

So the American made was the cheap & nasty. 😂

@@vette63 HaHa,,, Not according to the yanks... Ya just can't beat made in the good ol USA.. Just ask em. It's constant and monotonous,, and quite often very wrong..

Think so ? I doubt that - all that drives American anything is profit.

Thanks, Jeff👍

Hopefully, this is an oil-resistant silicone…

Thanks for your feedback👍

Thanks for Sharing👍

Motorcraft has the antidrainback valve at the base, opposed to the top. Shorter dry starts. The bigger filters are just holding more "dirt", if you replace the OE one at the 500 miles, there should be no issue with the dirt capacity. All in all, not really an "upgrade".

@@freedomspeech9523 A longer filter with more filter media is always an upgrade, all other things being equal.

For most of us out there, I think 5K oil change intervals are the way to go. A clean engine is a happy engine😊 Thanks for Sharing👍

For those of us that would ONLY do it ourselves, it's a moot point..

Yes, it was nice of Steve👍 Thanks for Sharing👍

Wrong. Don't change by manufacture recommendations. Change every 5 to 8k miles. Do an oil analysis to narrow it down when to change. Maybe you can delay oil changes to 10k or maybe you need to do every 3k.

@@amplituhedron5582 My point being: just change you oil and filter!!! Far too many seem to go years without changing oil and pay dearly....

I know a lot of new cars try to stretch the oil change interval out. Many comments in other videos on this topic also. Many older cars used to be 10,000 km (6,200 mi), I don't trust the longer intervals.

@@jasonh.8754 yep, I do the same...

If you want to save money, go with the EQUIVALENT non-factory branded filter. Good example: no need to use "Motorcraft filters OR Motocrft oil in your Ford product. Btw, Ford DOES NOT manufacture their OWN oil, don't know about the filters. Also, if you are told to use "Ford" spark plugs because non-Ford plugs will cause mis-fires and DAMAGE the coils not true. I recently replaced my ORIGINAL plugs in a '13 Focus with NGK not Motorcraft plugs. Upon removal of the stock plugs, I noticed that the plug number "stamped" into the plug EXACTLY matched the number on the NGK plug, but the NGK plug was cheaper. Don't get misled with this "use only OEM" BS!

I’m disappointed on the Baldwin too

Same here. Expect Vietnam to be the best

Vietnamese number 1 american number 10

Being private labeled, they were all built to a price point.... don't think Baldwin can't build a better filter than this.... they can, its just Carquest didn't pay for better.

Is this version the same as a Baldwin branded filter? I know Wix used to build at least 2 different filters, like for Napa, gold and silver.

I could never understand why GM specks such a small filter on a Corvette which Is there highest performance car and one of the most expensive You can't say it was for cost of maintenance that would be stupid

There is no disadvantage to a smaller filter

Okay tell yourself whatever you want a larger filter means you can have more oil in the system and more filter media.

@@darrenporsch more oil is unnecessary... And more filter media is just not true, it depends on the depth of the actual filter and the amount of pleats

@@justarandomguy3969 Yeah the larger filter I used was twice as long as the stock one. And more oil in the system means more fluid to hold all the dirt and crud and solid particles and suspension

Thats keeping your engine clean😊 Thanks for Sharing👍

Thanks, Jim👍

@@WhipCityWrencher anytime Pete

By chemical standards, Mobile 1 is NOT synthetic. They won the right to claim in via lawsuit. My guess is the penzoil is superior but that is only a guess. Higher end oils are often much better than M1. For budget but still a great product it is hard to be Rotella T6 full syn.

Thanks, Jonathan👍

Prices are on the screen in the begining of the video.

Looked at it again-I noticed pricing this time. Thanks.

They will all perform the same as far as protecting the engine!

@@TheOzthewiz so long as you use new filters every so many miles. And new oil every so few thousand miles. Maintenance is key to keeping engine running longer with clean oil and free of dirt. And also if the filters don't malfunction which defeats their purpose.

Thanks, WrenchingMafia👍

I was thinking the same thing! And it’s cheaper at Advance!

Tell them ahaed of time which size oil filter you want.

I wonder if filters fall under the Magnussen Moss act like oil does. Also, some vehicles spec bigger/smaller filters for front driveshaft clearance(4x4) and uses a shorter filter with exact same engine. Many GM 2500 and 3500 trucks from 2000 on are a perfect example of this.

You're Welcome faxmen09👍 Thanks!

@@GT-mn3bx Yes, aftermarket oil filters, air filters, etc are covered by MMWA. However, that coverage here would apply to the spec filter for the vehicle. Using a larger/taller filter than spec (non spec), is not covered by MM Act. Now, technically in the case of vehicle warranty, the dealer is supposed to have to prove the filter caused any issue they claim, but real world, who has the deeper pockets and time of vehicle use on their side. The dealer, vehicle manufacturer.

Thanks! I look into it.

You're Welcome👍

Not sure where you get your info, but it's not accurate. If anything, full synthetic and blended media would flow better than cellulose media. But moot point, in passenger car (pc) use, flow is not an issue.

Thats why 99% of long life filters are 30-35 micron instead of around 20 and oil engineers don't use them. If you're worried about clogging, change your oil and filter!. We have trans filters that are 15 micron. Cleaner oil is better oil.

These 3 filters are blended filter media. But I agree with the others, full synthetic media will give you a good oil flow.

@@GT-mn3bx Filtration is a balancing act, too tight a mesh and the oil is going through the by pass, too open a mess the smaller micron particles get through. As I understand most filters are at a 30 micron as this is deemed acceptable by the engineers, good oil flow without too much contanaments getting by. The service life depends on the engine and useage, the standard cellulose filter is desighn to hold out well beyond the recommended service interval.

@@WhipCityWrencher Did you check out the video i sent you? Whether one believe it or not I personaly will stick to the 3000 - 5000mi. oil/filter change and save the $ on the cheaper filters since they do the job just fine.

Thank You👍

Thanks👍

Both are made by Premium Guard.

You're Welcome Steve👍 Thanks for the oil filters😊

Thanks, Ed👍

It matters if you want to go purchase an oil filter for your vehicle. You will be a more knowledgeable consumer. Thanks!

Pretty much. Frame filter in Canada has dirt reputation. But as much as how many people hate it. There is no single case of failure relate to their filter.

I'd say standard.

The red is the base entry filter supplied in bulk to their commercial customers. The blue is their premium line supplied to their commercial customers. Those two are the stocking lines for the places that do oil changes daily. The HD series is generally not supplied to their commercial customers unless specifically requested. They are usually in the back and for the Ag and fleet customers and not the oil change shops.

I wouldn't use any of these oil filters just put a Purolator Boss oil filter and sleep even better.😊

It depends on how much resistance builds up in the oil filter. Even at 65 psi if the resistance for the oil to flow through the oil filter is less than 15 psi the bypass valve won't open. Thanks👍

Car Quest (General Parts Corp) was absorbed by Advance Auto Parts' corporate owner several years ago. That is why you see Car Quest branded products in Advance stores.

Thank You👍

I don't think so.

Thanks! If I was to use Fram I go with the Fram Endurance.

I open up a lot of used filters also.

Thanks!

Filtering is in the media and the microscope pics. can tell you which filter is most likely to catch more carbon and soot.

@@WhipCityWrencher So again which of the three would you recommend to your viewers?

@@philc.9280 I wouldn't use any one of these three oil filters. Instead, I would pick up a Purolator Boss which Advance Auto Parts sells. But If I had to pick the best one out of these three it would be the Vietnam-made oil filter.

Hi Vince, I don't care for the overspray either. One thing I've noticed also on the Chinese-made oil filters is that there clean, and look good but the filter media under a microscope doesn't look all that good. Thanks!👍

@@WhipCityWrencher I agree Pete! It's funny I thought the same thing. It 'Looks' OK until you give it a closer inspection. The media looked kinda like Swiss cheese. The plate looked sort of crudely stamped in the die too. I've seen some impressively built filters from Vietnam, much more so than Chyna.

@@vincemajestyk9497 Yep

The WIX non USA made oil filter have over spray also.

$7.79 at 0:05 Thanks!

Thanks, Merri👍 Have a Great Weekend!

I hope so too! Thanks👍

You're Welcome👍 Thanks!

Hi Ella, Thanks! Have a Happy Turkey Day🦃😊

@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks, Cuz! 🍂🦃🍂

Thank You John👍 I Appreciate it😊

Thanks! I think the Vietnamese filter would be more restrictive than the other two but would filter better, I would hope the manufacturers would have done tests so that it's not too restrictive. Otherwise, it will go into bypass.

During COVID Mann+Hummel had issues supplying the product and Advance started using another supplier, who I cant remember right now. Mann+Hummel does make Purolator and makes the Mobil 1 filters as well as Motorcraft.

Hi Christina, Thanks👍
