This seems to be a recurring theme these days. They call it "shrinkflation." Now the oil filter manufacturers are doing it too. Charging more and giving you less. I'm not impressed.

It’s not like you don’t have a choice of which filter to use and in case you don’t know take your own filter to the oil change place!

As noted, 910S Purolator made, temp replacement Champ Labs (ecore) made. Unfortunately, the 910S has more than doubled in price from ~$4 off WM shelf to $8+ now. Used to be an excellent OPE option for $4, now other options in the mix. Thanks for the vid.

THIS!!!! The 910-S used to be 3.97 at WM before Bidenomics, by 2022 it went up to about 5.85, and now well past $8 IF you can find it in stock. The 910-S IS a GOOD filter that used to be in a "economy" price point, but now it is in the price point of PREMIUM filters without an upgrade to the product.

@faxmen09 3 ай бұрын

@@chirodocheilman While I appreciate your comment and agree with points about 910S price, I always prefer to keep extraneous political commentary out of my comments. In my experience, not helpful to the topic at hand. It should also be noted the production issues experienced by Purolator for the MC filter, likely a factor in the price increase. To use cliche, it is what it is.

The old one for sure. Both would likely take care of business at mfr. recommended oil changes, but I am a fan of metal construction, larger surface area, and the unique filter bypass valve. I have always respected Motorcraft filters.

@jamescaron6465 3 ай бұрын

Outstanding Job, Pete. I will not use a new filter until I see you cut it open. These guys can't hide from you! It looks like Ford is really going cheap. You are losing the silicone adbv upper bypass valve, filter media and metal endcaps. Plus you have that design where the bypass valve is stuck in the leaf spring. I have no idea how you have have a good seal for the bypass valve stuck i na fiber endcap. I'm less concerned regarding the nylon core but it does indicate a reduction in material cost. The newer filter just looks cheap. I never cared much for champ made filters and this does nothing to change my mind. Give me the older filter any day.

Motorcraft oil filters are made Purolator which is Mann Hummel now. That's a champion labs ecore filter every manufacturer has secondary suppliers in case of shortages. I believe champion labs uses ecore filters on their AC Delco filters too. Here's my thing. I love seeing what's inside all these filters but unless you use a OEM Toyota filter, most manufacturers don't make their filters. I just buy the fram ultra synthetic because it filters to 20 microns. But really if you're an average driver just get a fram ultra, Purolator Boss or wix XP. These companies have been making filters forever. They'll all do the job just depends on you driving application. Love the videos keep them coming

I am not surprised Ford has gone with a cheaper filter. The company is in such a financial mess, they are trying to save every penny they can in every area they can. I think the old filter by Purolator is better then the new Champ Lab filter. Everything these days is make the customer pay more and give the customer less. A RECIPIE FOR A DISASTER!

As a Auto Parts store owner the problem is that Wix/Purolator Mann Hummel isn't shipping very good. Champ Labs is largest maker of oil filters in the world. Champ is NOT inferior

@millionmilegarage9587 3 ай бұрын

Years ago I bought an AC filter and was disappointed with its plastic internals and goofy baseplate design, the same as the Kmart branded filters at the time and yes they were made by Champ! Champ is now owned by Fram the pioneer of felt end caps. While not a fan I have never cut one open that showed failure but prefer not to buy parts engineered to maximize profit over durability. Based on that I would not buy a Motorcraft without looking inside the box first, Purolator only please.

Just for information: FRAM does not own Champion Labs. First Brands Group LLC owns both companies along with Trico Blades, Raybestos Brake parts, Brake Parts Inc., Anco Blades, Carter Fuel Products, Strong Arm Lift Supports, and Autolite Spark Plugs. It's a huge auto parts conglomerate.

@TheRacer53X 3 ай бұрын

Internally I would believe that would be the case. The St3614 is cheaper than the 2123. The cost difference between the two would be due to the sticker on the filter. I bet they filter the same

@ajmedeiros77 3 ай бұрын

And yet ford still recommending 10k mile oil changes on newer vehicles. Either filter is fine for 3-5k mile oci. I use 820-s filter on my 04 super duty. Can’t beat them for 4 bucks. But I tow/haul, stop and start a lot so I only go 3k max if not less. I’ve gone closer to 4K when I rarely do a lot of highway miles. I like the top adbv design. Thanks whip as always!!
