[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 11793000, member: 112023"] What oldmodman just posted is the key. I'd like to focus deeper on media type, as current nano-fiber techonology (micro glass as Royal Purple calls it) is superior to all other cellulose and other synthetic blend media. Nano-fiber offers better filtration, better efficiency to smaller microns, yet still be as nonrestrictive as lesser medias offering less filtration ability. Nano-fibers also contain wire backing so the media doesn't deform during use, metal end caps, and strong inner metal support cylinders. Not to mention a superior adhesive so it all stays together. Combine this with a better anti-drain back valves that are made of materials that do not fail under intense heat, better bypass valves, thicker metal cans for increased burst pressure, thicker base plates, and you have one superior filter. Amsoil nano-fiber wire backed media [ATTACH=full]321918[/ATTACH] Royal Purple has the same wire backing and micro-fiber media. Both filters are currently manufactured by Champion Labs. [ATTACH=full]321919[/ATTACH] Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters are both manufactured by Champion Labs as well. They use a cheaper synthetic blend cellulose media. Same filter, different paint and labels. [ATTACH=full]321920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321921[/ATTACH] Then you have one of the best bangs for your buck, Motorcraft FL series. Cheaper than most, yet average performance. It does have a weak metal can and smaller anti drain back valve. [ATTACH=full]321922[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
