Lee Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Super Tech filters: I had noticed several oil changes ago that the filters said they were made in mexico but the style was the same as always. Today I get to changing the oil and notice the filter is completely different. I mean seriously cheap looking. It said it was made in the USA. It was very light and it looked like you could see the paper filter when you looked inside. Usually all you saw was the inside metal cylinder with holes. The top (screw on part) was completely different. Instead of the bulge with big holes, it dipped in with two rows of tiny holes. I don't think they are made by Champion anymore. I'm going to go back and see if I can see the paper in another filter. That just doesnt seem right. If I find some older styles I'm going to buy them up.

supreme_style21 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Sounds like Walmart couldn't bully someone into keeping their line in their store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey River Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Champion still makes the filters. The new design is called the E-Core and allows a lot more flow through the filter by removing the center tube and replacing it with a plastic support.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Another oil filter topic.. oh Lord.. lol Walmart here carries only Fram.. no Supertech (they do carry the oil though) I buy NAPA filters since they are supposidly make by Wix which I hear are good. They don't cost a whole lot either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Wal-Mart here carries Supertech and FRAM. they used to carry Motorcraft up until a week ago or so, which sucks....i use the big Motorcraft FL-1A 5.0L Mustang filter on my GTS and it cost less than $3 the only place to get the AC-Delco PF-52 filter here is the GM dealership at about $7.....if only we had an Autozone here!

digitaloutsider Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 The SuperTech filter has now been discontinued in favor of Wal-Mart carrying all Fram. This is definitely sad, seeing as how the ST filters were designed and manufactured by Champion Labs (In other words.. the AC Delco filter you paid $4 more was the exact same filter). You can still get the Champion Labs filter by purchasing: AC Delco STP AutoZone Valucraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 what do you guys think about Purolator oil filters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Purolator makes an excellent filter, regardless of whether you buy their PureOne or Premium Plus. The PureOne is HEAVILY overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcrow Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 fram sucks - places like wal-mart and home-depot will take a good name product and force them to make it cheaper and cheaper, until the product becomes crap. I use AC delco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 places like wal-mart and home-depot will take a good name product and force them to make it cheaper and cheaper That is EXACTLY what Walmart does. I'd never fucking want anything of mine inside a Walmart with the way they do business. You don't climb to the top of the ladder by being nice.

Prospeeder Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 i use FRAM from walmart, there good, and Valvaline oil all our filters we use are FRAM, i dont see whats so bad about em, they work just as well as the next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I dont buy anything from walmat that involves my engine, it all comes from pep boys. I just think an auto parts store has better quailty filters, oil, etc. than a place like walmat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
