Oil Filter Friday, Watch a New Automotive oil filter inspection video every Friday on this KZbin channel.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I'm looking forward to comparing the new Fram Endurance FE10575, to the Amsoil EA017, to the Royal Purple 20-500. I like the idea of the thread side bypass on the RP, as it prevents the dirty engine oil from flowing past the already contaminated filter surface to reach the upper bypass. So to take the path of least resistance, the RP allows the oil to come through the anti-drain back valve straight to the bypass (as you mentioned around the 9:50 mark). Apart from the thread side bypass, the RP looks similar to the Amsoil. But you gotta love that large gasket held firmly in place. I think I've found my 2 choices, either the endurance or the RP! Another excellent review WCW!

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks

[@ivantsipr]

Haven't gotten my hands on a Amsoil one to see if they changed too, but I'm worried cause now the inner tube is plastic instead of metal

[@TranslatedAssumption]

Of all the brand filters I have ever seen the Royal Purple brand has to he most variance in bypass valve usage. Some have a dome end bypass built in with the leaf spring, some have it built into the inside of the filter through the dome end endcap, and now apparently they are using the thread end bypass (this video was the first time I have ever seen one of these built into an endcap, let alone on a RP filter period). I do know that all RP filters are rated for 625 burst strength which is impressive.

[@jeffkortsch8276]

It would a great filter if the stamped spring was replaced by a coil spring.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

👍

[@SlikLizrd]

The Coil Spring is now obsolete. Most all automotive oil filter manufacturers have now switched to the stamped retainer -- The Coil S,pring was found to damage the cannisters, and the Coil Spring takes more energy to produce, so is LESS environmentally-freiendly. Funny how we get attached to things like a Coil Spring. SMH.

[@jeffkortsch8276]

@@SlikLizrd Except for all those that haven't.

[@SlikLizrd]

@@jeffkortsch8276 And which major automotive oil filter manufacturers are still using the coil spring TODAY , Jeff !?? I think you'll find that Automotive Oil Filters have evolved quite a bit over the years, and that part of that eveolution was the fact that the Coil Spring was found to DISTORT the CANNISTERS, and the stamped steel retainer was incorporated into the evolutionary mix. Ergo, the coil spring is Dead. Fini. Kaput. Sorry for your loss.

[@jeffkortsch8276]

@@SlikLizrd Watch these videos and see "major automotive oil filter manufacturers [that] are still using the coil spring TODAY". I just watched his Friday video with two oil filters using coil springs. Lighten up, Francis.

NAPA Platinum best oil filter ever

[@JodieMix]

Made by Wix

[@kevinwalsh9725]

What many videos do not show is how Motorcraft Filters are one of only few companies using a thread end bypass, Wix, Napa, and Royal Purple all had outstanding design and when they got bought out, the designs changed and in my opinion they are a cheap design. No longer made with highest quality. Royal Purple Filters, Napa Gold and Wix have all changed from a nice steel base plate with thread end bypass, Silicone ADBV, evenly spaced holes and steel coil spring, solid canister casing. It would be interesting comparison how they have changed. Now Purolator is better than those. I currently use Motorcraft although I know they use a leaf spring and the Purolator is a decent design, the Boss is nice and it shows filter media is better than Motorcraft. Not a fan of dome end bypass. Many new oil filters displayed in videos don't even come close to what RP and Napa Wix used to be years ago. The new ACDelco E core is an embarrassment. Why do these companies think they can change a proven design and still have a loyal following for a cheaper product. They must think customers don't notice. I expected K and N to be higher quality, the dome end bypass design is cheap and does not look built with durability.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks for your Feedback👍🙌😊

[@LA_Commander]

This Royal Purple filter reminds me of the Amsoil, K&N, and many of the other "high end" filters. Way overpriced, average quality, and many of them made in China.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

The Royal purple has a very good micron rating.

[@ericd1632]

This was made in the US or did you miss that part

[@LA_Commander]

@@ericd1632 many others which I have personally inspected weren't. That's why I said "many of them" in my comment. Guessed you missed that part.

[@JodieMix]

Don’t see the word most in your original post. I guess we did miss that part.

[@LA_Commander]

@@JodieMix Sorry, I haven't the faintest idea what you're blabbering on about

[@jamescaron6465]

They probably leave the hole in the leaf spring for economies of scale because I’ll bet they probably turn out several thousand of those a day. And I Donely that they probably didn’t take into account some maniac popping open their filter and looking at the leaf spring with a pointless hole in it lol. Royal purple does make some pretty nice things although they’re not cheap. I do like that upper bypass valve as well. That’s a pretty slick design.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

🤣 lol

[@ivantsipr]

That filter is old stock, currently Royal Purple changed manufacturer as well as K&N, they are now the exact same as a Super tech one with the exception of the color.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks, I didn't know that. 👍 I just got the filter about a month ago at Oreillys. Thanks for watching and your feedback.🙏🙌😊

[@KXKKX]

@3:40 - That’s what she said.

[@ericd1632]

Also at 7:48

[@dwendt44]

Leaf spring has a hole 'cause the company that makes this filter makes others that have the bypass valve at the bottom. Use the same spring instead of a separate part for upper bypass valve models.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

They put the same stamped leaf spring on other filters that have upper bypass valves.

[@jasonreid1332]

Great Video! Love that gasket, wish every filter had a thick gasket. That seam reminds me of my jr. high home economics class where I had to make a bear. My seams in my bear looked similar. Always look forward to you videos!

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks, glad you like the videos.😊 I also wish they all came with a thick Oring gasket. That was the thickest one I've ever seen.👍🙌😊

[@TheBikemaster94]

I recently bought one and it had the plastic E core center tube, and the box said it was made by Champ. I've had the cheapo filters from rock auto and they were also made by Champ

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Yep, made by Champ Labs. Thanks for sharing👍

[@ChronicBongitis420]

5:23 using one with the hole in it reduces costs, because they don't have to use different machine set up to make ones without holes. It also helps streamline switching between brands of filters so it's one less thing they would have to switch out on the assembly line.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

You're probably right. Thanks for Sharing!👍

[@noahmeme2]

The new fram synthetic endurance is very similar but a lot cheaper.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Yep, and both made by Champion Labs.

[@dcm1f3]

I'm due for an oil change. I'm either going to run this filter or the basic Wix filter.

I have been using this filter on my 07 300c for years now great filter. I will never use fram again. this filter also works on my old Mopar 318 360 400 440. I have 293,000 miles on my 300c and counting original engine and trans. forgot to mention that I also use royal purple oil as well

Thanks,for mentioning… interestingly, used RP ONLY twice on my two vehicles… defaulters NAPA GOLD/BOSS PUROLATOR… 2007 Canyon( oddly my new Shop uses (VO58), VALVOLINE FILT, &/FULL SYNTHETIC as a Shop, … generally swap filters , with proper priming *& lube, 3- six Month …..etc….

[@flyingbob297]

Over priced

[@tomdicks5614]

For $16 there shouldn't be any questionable thing about the filter. I think I'm still gonna sick with my $7 fram ultra gard. As always great video though thanks for doing this

👍 Thanks and you're welcome.🙏🙌😊

[@budblack3588]

the craftmanship on this oil filter suck! no metal crimp, the seams come apart, I am not spending $16.00 for this junk! I am staying with Wix

[@satredsfa]

@ 3:40 thats what she said 😂🤣🤣

[@christopherwilliams4647]

Appears to be identical to an Amsoil. The purple anti drain back valve is a unique touch! They more than likely only stamp one spring for all filters, that’s why it more than likely has the hole. Next Friday you should open up a Fram Drive, It seems to be a lower price filter from Advance Autoparts, but seems to be higher quality than the force “Tough guard” lol.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Eventually, I'll be opening up some more of the (higher quality?) priced oil filters. I put the Fram and Amsoil on my list. Right now I'm booked up till the month of May with oil filters, but give me a specific Fram or Amsoil oil filter # and I'll put it up sometime in May. Hope you liked the video. Take care.👍🙌😊

[@TranslatedAssumption]

Higher quality than the Fram Force??? Exactly what are you basing that statement on? Someone has cut a Fram Drive open and posted pics on BITOG and it appears to be a repackaged Supertech with the felt endcaps that can easily be peeled off. Try doing that with any other Fram branded can folter.

[@christopherwilliams4647]

@@TranslatedAssumption maybe when I use the word appears? Then I ask someone to cut it open? I’d trust felt over paper. But thanks for the patronizing douche response. You sure told me....

[@TranslatedAssumption]

I apologise as I didn't know you were so sensitive and would react in such a way to someone asking you to explain your position. Whip City Wrencher did a video recently on a comparable Supertech filter with felt endcaps that easily peeled off just like the Fram Drive's felt endcaps did.

Did I miss something? What’s the mileage and micron rating?

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Yes, you missed it. 99% at 25 microns and go as many miles as your oil will last.

[@BW-kv9wj]

@@WhipCityWrencher I saw 99% but did not see or hear the micron rating. I went back and yes I missed you saying 25 and above micron rating. Most filters will give a mileage. As the percent drops so does the micron rating. So I think at 98.7% it should be 20 microns which is the same as Amsoil. But I’m not sure. I’ve been paying $30 for Amsoil filter after tax and shipping. I’m just gonna buy a Royal Purple from now on. I think it’s the same.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

@@BW-kv9wj I couldn't find a mileage claim, but these days 20K miles seems about right.

[@SlikLizrd]

@@WhipCityWrencher OOPS !! "yes I missed you saying 25 and above micron rating--" These oil filter makers are a sneaky bunch -- "at 25 Microns" is NOT the same as "25 Microns and above".

Every Oreillys I have gone to doesn’t carry RP filters.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Mine does, that's where I got this one

[@BW-kv9wj]

@@WhipCityWrencher There’s no store in California that I know anywhere that has RP filters. Got to get them online and pay for shipping. I’ll stick with Napa Platinum.

[@Andrew__Smith]

the only correct idea and design of the filter: dirt that gets on the outer surfaces of the filter element will never be washed off when the engine is started and will not get back through the bypass valve. But: saving money without putting an adequate coil spring is just awful !!!

[@SlikLizrd]

YEP. The Inlet-End By-Pass-Valve is the real deal. However, those Coil Springs have been replaced because they distorted the filter cannisters. The Stamped Spring is there because IT DOES A BETTER JOB.
