Hats off, my friend. Your focus on this is making the manufacturers aware of our interest in better performance and quality. You've been a leader on this. Today I was able to buy a Napa Platinum for my Chevy v8 for 8.99 which is a killer price for such a terrific filter. Happy to see that STP is getting more competitive. Prices for the good stuff will moderate if the public demands it.
So when I got excited about using and test STP and putting up a video about it, i may have helped drive the price up? Lol. I found this video because my video was recommended by CZcams after this one...a bunch!
I'm high impressed with the revision of some of the STP products and a step up from the plastic E-CORE. Premium Guard, Hastings/Baldwin are very good filters.
Very informative. Thank you.
The XL has various manufacturers some of which do not have silicone gaskets and valves, and some will have plastic interiors. Next time you pick one up check all of them on the shelf.
Thank you sir for your in-depth review. I subscribed only because I recognize the lengths to which you went to bring this content. You helped me. Thanks.
Thank you I appreciate it
I have used the blue and gold STP filters on several occasions when I couldn't find a WIX. I am impressed, I didn't realize they were so well made, I definitely would consider the gold or silver.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! In my experience, the best filter that a brand offers is always worth the money, though the brand itself doesn't make much difference.
Plastic helps from corrosion on the interior of the filter. Hyundai does the same thing on their factory filters.
A lot of high volume shops/quick lubes buy the stp filters in bulk. They come without boxes & get stocked on the shelves & sometimes, depending on clientele, sit for long periods of time. The plastic covering protects the raw metal from rust & the inside of the filter from dust & debris.
I own a 22 Chevy 2500hd gas 6.6 LT8…. Dropped at dealer for service and lube and they stuck the blue STP filter and AC Delco synthetic 5w30 in truck! I was mad no AC Delco with a 70k truck and 18k miles. They said it meets GM quality and use on many vehicles at dealership???
The shinny stuff on the end plates are zinc plating keeps them from corroding
The STP filter extended life. Are different at my local store they have the silicone anti drain back valve. But the O-ring is rubber in the metal tube is more like a cheese grater inside. it does not have a plastic cover over the filter
Good stuff, appreciate it!
This exact filter fits my Subaru 3.6 engine, and have the STP XL filter on it now. When I last went to AutoZone, I noticed that some XL's have the same lipped gasket and 5 inlet holes, but some of the other XL's have the same base plate and gasket as the standard blue filter shown in this video. The OEM Subaru filter has the 5 inlet holes and gasket lip, and the STP is the only aftermarket filter I can find that looks identical, but I'm not sure if they're phasing out the 5 inlet holes for the 2808 filter in favor of the 8, or if they have more than one design for the same filter. I've also noticed the M1-104 filters (same application) have varying gaskets and base plates from one filter to the next.
Great video, keep up the good work!
Awesome description of the filters! Always good work. Try a Motorcraft. I know their boxes have changed, so hopefully the built has too.
For STP, some of the older boxes had efficiencies on them if I remember right. The basic filter is only 92% efficient at most, albeit for an economy filter that might be right around where it should be.
Ur correct 88 percent after like 20 passes on api micron test
The Fram is grippy if you don’t use latex gloves.
Yay we need more stp videos
Currently using the low end STP filter and am impressed. 3500 miles and very clean dipstick checks.
Have a mid level STP filter and full synthetic oil for the next oil change at 4000 miles on the conventional oil.
Why would you use a crappy oil filter on a new car? Senseless. Since you paid a lot of money for a new car. U can use synthetic oil to break in a car. Been building engines for years. By quality, get the results
It is better to see your oil turn black because that means the oil is holding the dirt not your engine.
Watch ur videos alot, I love k&n gold filters as well for the 1 inch flange nut. Only down fall is people use the damn nut 2 put it on, so when u go 2 remove it usually strips even with 6 point socket. Kinda of a gimic. Main purpose is for the wire tied down required at many drag strips and certain race classes
The red gasket is no longer on the XL filters and they no longer have the coil spring for bypass valve.
Just got my 22 Silverado 2500hd 6.6 LT8 gas truck serviced at Chevy Dealership! 18k miles and they used a Blue STP oil filter and Synthetic AC Delco oil. No AC Delco filter but said the STP meets OEM requirements. Still think the dealer should use AC Delco on a truck with 100k mile warranty?
The old blue STP filter boxes used to say catches 93% of particles. XL says 99%. That's why I always got the XL.
That percentage depends on the particle size. Filters give a number based on the micron size they tested. That 99% might be on a bigger micron size. It maybe catching more bigger particles, but its letting through more smaller ones.
Thank you
The blue stp filter I bought from Auto zone for my 2017 honda Accord had black plastic interior.
You may want to update your videos on STP XL. I bought one today (Nov. 2019) of the same model you show... the 2808XL. The base seal was not a lipped seal. It was completely square and sat in a square channel. It popped right out. Bought in California at AutoZone.
I have a 2018 Harley 1200. Normally I use a Bosch 3330 filter. Never gave me any problems. Last time I changed the Oil, I used a STP Extended Life filter. A S3614XL. Hopefully the element isn't too restrictive. As the Oil PSI is around 17.
How is that filter worken out 9 months later?
thin plastic cover is common on Asian made products.
I don't even go past 7k on Fram ultra or any filter basically with synthetic oil.
STP filters I believe are made by champion labs. Who makes supertech and ACDelco and other private labels. I personally use supertech and only fram when st6607 is sold out
STP is my go to filter! I strayed and bought a Motorcraft before last change and it leaked at seal!
Looks like the blue can has come a very long way. Hope it's like that with a coil spring and rubber bypass in the other sizes.
Made by Champion Labs. Same people who make Super Tech and Fram filters.
How about seeing some OE filters from car brands compared to the others? (Also why is #8 in the playlist some live orchestra footage? lol)
Honda is a plastic core filter while Toyota and GM are metal.... Most of all made in the USA
Would be cool to see. Premium guard filters? Great vid Thx.
Just so you know interier construction is not universal for every car. They vary according to vehicle. So, what I am saying is two STP filters same grade will vary by vehicle.
I've used STP for a while, and also AC. I saw so many bad reviews for Fram that I started avoiding them
Very curious about the build of an ecoguard filter. Great job on the video.
I have also used the least expensive filters any brand but I change the filter and oil no more that 5 months. However, I bought about 6 on sale BOSCH LONG DISTANCE PLUS filters for just $5 normally $15 at Wally world. Using Super Tech 5W 30 synthetic at 6000 miles I changed the oil and filter. Mistake?? Maybe. Why? The oil was still very clear and honey colored. I think I could have gone another 3 to 5 thousand miles. This was not normal. Most of the 6000 miles were highway but that BOSCH filter Distance Plus is the best! Heavy filter. Lots of media inside. If you do not mind paying more get this filter! Cheers!
STP Blue has a excellent flow rate.....
Can you make some videos on comparing oem filters like motor craft mopar acdelco just some basic ones
I like your videos, I would be interested in seeing the STP S373 filter disassembled, I'm wondering what the bypass valve is like on it if it has one!
I've seen enough. The K&N HP filters with the nut on the case are made in China. The Mobil 1 are made in USA.
Can you do Purolator one filters? I'm trying to decide between stp and Purolator since auto zone isn't offering mobile 1 filters with their mobile 1 synthetic oil anymore in the deal they offer..
Curious. Just today I bought Mobile one full synthetic oil at AutoZone and a STP S10590XL filter came with it as a package deal, but the STP filter had 8 holes like the 5000 mile version instead of the 5 elongated hole . Everything thing else looks like the XL version. Why ?
Plz compare 6.4 hemi srt filter to the wix xp 57899 plzzzzz.
I don't know if I trust this filter. I havran XL but I'm not using it yet. one thing I noticed was that the filter seemed smaller than any of my older filters I've used from Purolator or Denso
How long is the filter material for the ML vs Boss? Looks like stp has the better spring at the bottom. Thanks
The base plate on the XL & ML STP oil filters look identical to the base plate on the Hyundai/KIA #26300-35505 made by Mann + Hummel (except for the silicone gasket).
Have you ever done an AC Delco filter?
I use AC Delco, would like you to cut one up and see what it looks like.
If you want the best full synthetic oil filter for your investment go Royal Purple oil filter. They are about. $15.00 on Amazon but the facts are you get what you pay for. Next would be Mobil One oil filter from Walmart at $10.00. You can Google both and get the facts.
Curious if you would do a video on cartridge filter types instead of can that some new cars or different manufacturers are starting to use for your opinions. So far I know media is very different but not aware what inside is different.
Who sells the ML filters, cannot find them.
Efficiency is not the whole reason we're here. Flow rate needs to be considered as well. I understand that the Purolator Boss has a lower flow rate. The high end STP has the same polymer backing on the media so if that's what causes the low flow rate in the Boss, then I would avoid it.
Where did you find Purolator's flow rates? They are nowhere to be found on their site.
@@johnmcsweeney4966
The Purolator Boss "has a high-density media. This slows down the oil flow rate of the engine oil."
According to...
oards.com/best-car-oil-filters-for-synthetic-oil/
This may not matter if you change the filter every 5K.
@@njsongwriter The article refers to racing engines, not your everyday car.
I have a question about the K&N center tube that you showed at 11:00 minutes. That slit cut center tube style...do they have cuts facing both directions like the Mobil 1 oil filter? If so, I believe that's why it's shown in testing that Mobil 1 had much slower flow. I was wondering because while K&N blew you way how shiny it was if it's not designed for great flow either....than oh well. Lol
Did you do a video on the K&N PS line?? It's K&N filter that is black.
How about Euro filters like Mann, Mahle, Hengst?
I think the Napa is Mann, and he test Napa Gold and Platinum?
Lets see you review the " Auto Xtra " brand of Oil Filters sold on Amazon .
You can get a rachet oil filter attachment
I'm curious to see what ACDelco or Motorcraft has to offer.
Personally from using the ACDelco are garbage but Motorcraft are great for their price.
I’ve not had great experience with motorcraft you’re better off with Wix or these STP! I feel the low end STP is equivalent to the Wix Filters. The gasket’s look like the same materials 🙂
My thoughts on a good filter mainly focus on media, surface area, construction and bypass. Many things that so many are concerned about like metal end caps and the structural center core are not necessary. There are plastics and other materials that work fine and stand up to heat and pressure. You expect the filter medial to hold up right? Its not Metal either! Metal is fine but definitely not a necessity. As far as the end caps your metal is probably not the best material and harder to seal and has less adhesion, especially the slick shiny ones that you like. Essentially it depends on the adhesive quality.
Tearing those oil filters apart to figure out which one best removes harmful particles from the engine oil looks like a lot of fun, but I think you're trying to solve that oil particle contamination problem the wrong way. Instead of figuring out which oil filter does the best job, it would be best to focus on what can be done to reduce the number of particles that get into the oil. Most of those abrasive particles are simple dirt and dust that sneaks in through the air intake. If you really want clean oil, use a good AIR filter and seal up any vacuum leaks, even the tiny ones (i.e., those old seals on the dipsticks of foreign cars. The crankcase vacuum on some of the German cars is so strong I've heard you can take out the oil drain plug while the engine is running, and it won't leak oil.) And, to minimize any soot/carbon contamination in the oil, make sure your engine is not running rich. Do whatever it takes to get the fuel trims close to zero - new plugs, fuel injectors, or whatever it needs.
Jay Dahl thanks, good ideas....
that is a whole different subject , gomer. this is not a video on how to keep contamination out of oil. what the fk is wrong with you? just shut the fk up.
Thanks, INTERESTING.. I HAVE NEVER SEEN PERFORMAX ( Mexico)OIL FILTERS, THAT MY MOPAR DEALER USES on my Program Oil change Conventional Oil, dissected!. Otherwise I,use NAPA, GOLD ETC.
If you want a non slip grip just spray paint it with bed liner or somthin similar
Like PlastiDip
Or use a kitchen dishwashing rubber glove - incredible grip.
Do one on the k&n from Walmart
Ever think about the fact that you should be putting perfectly clean oil into your engine and hopefully your engine is not disintergrating. ...now IF you engine DOES begin to disintegrate shedding metal fragments? Is better oil filtration REALLY going to save anyone? LOL I sincerely DOUBT that! My phiosphy is to change the filter EVERY oil change and to change oil earlier not later .....therefore I use lower tier oil and filter so long as they meet OEM standards. SOME guys apparently love to buy supposedly ultra premium oil and filters paying a lot of extra money and then their philosphy is to run 10,000 miles etc between oil changes...I do NOT trust that these premium oils and filters are truly so much better....so I just use more economical and then change at 5k miles.....Personally I feel like I am treating my cars better than the dudes running the expensive components longer
Use a factory filter. Find the part number and just order a few online for the lowest price.
This video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work. WOW very interesting 1st class very kool great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great
Thank you for your videos I am really picky about oil and filters for my vehicles and every oil change I use K&N , mobil one , or Honda oil filters
Don’t use the Honda filters the quality has gone down. If you can get the A01 they are ok but if the end numbers are A02 stay away they are made by Fram we’re the A01 were are made by Champion.
My grand marquis has 478k using motorcaft filters almost exclusively. Heads still look new inside fill tube. Less than $4
Motorcraft is made by Purolator to Ford specs, so its basically a medium grade Purolator filter (not the BOSS). I use Purolator on my F150 and on my Toyota Camry
For real 478k?
Eric Maeder yes I’m a service tech in NJ and do a minimum of 700 mi a week, motor is still silky smooth but may have to retire it due to rusty frame near passenger front control arm. My rebuilt alternator and water pump have way more miles than the original ford parts. As for suspension, buy the best replacement you can get.
@@hipnoben wow!!!
I truly hate the non slip grips. Try to get a cup style filter wrench on one.
True fact..
Try a diswashing rubber glove - incredible grip - may even be able to remove filter with no tool!
Would like to see Delco, Motorcraft, and OEM from Subaru, Toyota & Honda
just thinking here... The NEW walmart supertech filter is about 3 dollars but doesn't have a bypass valve anymore. However, the STP basic filter is about 5 dollars and does have the bypass valve. I think the additional 2 dollars is worth the added cost on cold morning starts.
Whether or not a filter has a bypass valve is determined by the application. If a particular Application does not call for a bypass valve it may not have one but it may have one of the same filter is used in another application that requires it. Again the bypass valve inclusion is vehicle specific although can be present even though not needed.
i always heard that STP stood for Studebaker Technical Products.
Originally it stood for"Scientically tested Petroleum." Recently I believe Products has replaced Petroleum.
can you use the xl for regular conventional oil. or only synthetic oils.
Mobil One oil filters are $10.00 at Walmart. You can use the oil of your choice. Check your auto manual or Google the correct weight of oil your auto requires. The W after the first number stands for winter. The lower the number like 0w or 5w flows better in the cold.
5,000 miles is (probably) the limit with the XL if you use conventional oil, because the controlling "longevity factor" isn't the durability of the filter material, but the length of time before the filter loads up with sludge and sludge like byproducts - and conventional oil breaks down a lot more and a lot faster than full synthetic.
On the other hand, if you use full synthetic with the base 5,000 filter you are still stuck with the 5,000 mile limit, because it's not the dirt from oil breakdown that uses up the filter, it's the flow of the oil itself breaking down the fibers.
And then of course you've gotta follow your owner's manual on oil change intervals if you still have the bumper to bumper or power train warranties still in effect.
I don't even trust 7,500 or 10,000 owner's manual oil change intervals. First, there are big loopholes that kick a lot of drivers down into the "severe service" oil change interval; second I think the modern long intervals give priority to conserving resources not to engine protection; and third I think most car makers assume the average engine life only has to be 100,000 miles - for the first owner.
The K&N went down hill last 2 I got had warped face plates and no matter how much you tightened them they leaked real bad.
Hmm, so if you failed to noticed that your Gasket is stuck to the block means you have no business working on a vehicle, because you should always wipe down the surface before installing the new filter, which means there is no way you're not going to notice the gasket. Actually, you should have noticed it missing from the old filter after you removed it.
Champion Labs produces STP oil filters, their people should be able to answer any STP product question.
I dont know why I'm barely watching this video but I was really impressed by your presentation. I have dissected an STP Maximum Life S2808ML as well when they barely came out and they were built differently than these newer ones. I like the Purolator Boss for a number of reasons but recently, I have noticed that the louver type of holes on the center tube have not been manufactured correctly and they are barely open, meaning the oil will not flow as efficiently and the oil pressure will increase leading the oil to by pass unfiltered oil, which is a serious problem. This is rather disappointing to me because the Purolator Boss is perfect in my opinion, but it is those poorly manufactured louvers that have me embittered. I may consider this my new favorite filter until Purolator addresses their issues with the center tubes across all their lineup from the Classic, One, and Boss. With these STP oil filters, the center tubes have wide open holes which I like for a guaranteed oil flow without restrictions. I only buy the top tier oil filters and pair it with full synthetic oil. Excellent video.
Try Mann filter
Gaskets get stuck to the engine because gaskets are not lubricated prior to installation.
Fl2051s ford
the by pass need a mess screen for me
Go with Royal Purple full synthetic oil filters. Amazon sells them for around $15.00. It’s only a couple of times a year you change the oil and filter so go with quality.
Really thorough review.
I like how in depth you get with your reviews.
However, I noticed that this video is dramatically lower in video quality(360p). Your videos are usually 1440p60.
What happened?
I always liked how high in video quality your reviews were, along with how thorough they have been.
Keep up the excellent work!
The video was just uploaded. CZcams still has to process it for HD quality.
I know the XL is 99.8% @ 20microns
Supertec (walmart) filters who makes these?
They are mostly the Ecore filters now...plastic cage inside instead of metal tube.
Stp is Autozone brand
- Me @ minute 9:45 . . "Y U NO CUT OPEN DA' DAMN FILTERS.!.?" (lol)
That’s not what STP stands for.
Anything’s better than fram
For after market filters, It all boils down to you get what you pay for!!! If you pay $15.00 for a filter your getting the best constructed and performing filter on the market. If you pay $3.00 your getting something that meets minimum standards. If you buy an OEM filter, your probably getting a half decent filter. Seeing as quite a few brand new cars are leased these days, that means the the car companies own the car, so its in their financial interest to use a half decent filter. I buy used cars and use OEM or Purolator BOSS
How much is the XL filter in this vid?
Eric Maeder I got an STP XL oil filter at AutoZone a couple of months ago, and it ran $10-ish...not too bad for a decent filter. And I believe it was rated for 15k miles.
All I’ve seen is FRAM is Trash built. Used Purolator for years. It’s high quality.
Why all the OF cut up videos?
STP Max Life oil filters are no longer available unfortunately. 😒
If a filter manufacturer cannot provide efficiency specs, then I refuse to buy their filter. What a joke, the filtration is *why* we buy filters, people seem to be overlooking that in the comments.
Skip to 9:55 for the good stuff
The plastic packaging cover is there to keep the salty air out so they don't rust while sitting on the boat from china for weeks.
I run 5 to 7500 miles on Fram and never a problem. I change my oil when my oil is 1/2 quart low or 7,500 miles on my trailblazer with 144,000 miles' with synthetic oil it was 1/2 quart low one time at 7,500... Did go to 10,000 once at 3/4 quart low, so I change at 6 to 7 k most of the time. Driving has a lot to do with it too. I never go more than 200 miles at one time ' so don't travel long distance much //
You prattle on too much. Little of it addresses the subject. BREVITY.
Plastic cover? If it's boxed there will be no debris. 99% of people wipe oil on the gasket anyway. Simple marketing BS by STP. The 8 holes vs. 5 holes is even more BS. With the 8 smaller holes you get the same flow as the larger 5 holes. However using 5 larger holes, the computer on your vehicle will register lower oil PSI, tripping a CEL, therefore making you go in for an oil change much sooner, and more frequently than needed. This adds up to millions for STP.
Bought STP filter last night. After I got it home, found out it's made in China. Won't be buying anymore.
Most of the purolator filters are made in the usa.
Pretty much everything is made in china dummy. It is the company that matters not where it is made. Company has the control over the quality control in china and obviously material quality.
Better sell everything in your house too lol
Did you end up returning this made in China shit? If given the opportunity, we are determined to leave made in China (PRC) crap on the store shelf any time, any place. Car batteries, tires, and anything else we always inquire about the country of origin. We'll buy made in Mexico when USA , Japan, Germany are not on the list of country of origin options. Especially when WIX is made in USA and surprisingly the basic microgard is also made in USA.
Stop freaking talking and start cutting!
