Amsoil filters said to be the best, are they the best or is Wix XP or Mobile one better. Take a look at the review to make up your mind on AMSOIL OIL FILTER.
Price is a funny thing. People will spend as much eating at McDonalds and think nothing of it. After spending what I have on my motorcycle (and other vehicles), I don’t mind spending a few bucks to take care of them. That said we all have our priorities and biases. Nice review!
Just how people justify money in general is funny. I sell Amsoil to a millionaire lobster fisherman for his two Harley's, but he puts no-name oil from the local convenience store in his boat engine, a Cummins X15. I can't figure it out.
There is also something to be said for spending your money wisely. This is a decent filter, but it is nothing special and thus severely overpriced at $32. You can get at least 3 equivalent Purolator Bosses for that price. And they are probably better too.
@moshet842 I agree some filters are not worth the money. Sadly it's the name on the filter and how much it is advertised that makes them look better than others.
I don’t know where your friend purchased that oil filter but they got ripped off. I ordered my oil filter directly from Amsoil when I order my oil and I pay around $15 for the filter which is still rather expensive but not any more than any other high quality oil filter.
The Preferred accounts get dealer costs and most filters are $15-17 dollars. But the Fram Endurance and the Royal Purple filter Extended life is all the same filter with different exterior branding. But When I order my Amsoil, I order filters too. Any oil filter made by Champion labs with a full Synthetic filter media and fully Synthetic oil is pretty much the same besides the additive package. I could bore you to death, but I still have about a year of oil changes between all cars to have a database that can be compared fairly. I don't do extended oil changes. I do favorite suggested or by the oil change counter/reminder. My Hybrid Ford Fusion has 10k mile oil changes. I change the filter at 5k miles as a test. Our other two vehicles and our service van for HVAC gets 5000-6000 mile oil changes. Need it to last forever.
Definitely a top tier FRAM filter. The silicone anti drain back and the bypass valves are the same as FRAM. The mesh backed synthetic fiber element is as well. Other than appearing sloppy, what is the drawback of the excessive glue? I hear that comment often in the filter videos. If that glue could be broken down by hot motor oil it would not be used in the construction of oil filters. Great video, btw. Thanks for sharing it.
15K intervals are a horrible idea lol. I think they're made by Champ Labs. Amsoil, Royal Purple and VP Racing have the top 3 oil filters imo. And I've bought every avaliable brand for the car I own.
@@crazybillsgarage I wasn't implying that necessarily that there wasn't good filters out there made by other manufactures, since there are not that many true assembly brands that put different labels and Colors. Champion labs wins this round for me, but Mann+Hummel makes good filters including WIX, Purolator, but also a ton of foreign brands they do not sell in the USA. I haven't heard of a lot of them. Most car enthusists don't have a clue what they are actually using or putting in their engine. Great advertising doesn't make a great product. But any full Synthetic media filter will do about as good as the next. But I have do dozens of hours of research on oils, filters, and various vehicles with oil analysis. I will be sending them to Boss Ford Me and maybe my own channel, but who has time for that?
@@GAlan-nn6mu What are you responding to? I know who makes which filters and I was clear who makes Mann-Hummel and what filters are made by Champion labs, which is owned by First Brands Group, LLC.
Don't even go there with me on Amsoil. Snake oil. That glue looks nasty. I am not impressed with that or anyone affiliated with Amsoil. Just buy a good oil filter, good name brand synthetic oil, & change every 6mos/5,000 miles. Thank u, great video! 👍
Thanks Riceburner, I'm not convinced either with the Amsoil filters, didn't seem much better than other cheaper high end filters like Mobil 1 or Boss and One.
Looks 100% fram. I think Amsoil is riding on their name at this point and with Mann and Hummell having so many great filters under their umbrella Amsoil shoul be careful reboxing filters. The Purolator Boss is the Best filter in the market today Wix Napa and others under M&H have variations of the Boss so the more these get cut open the more telling it is .
I purchased 2 Amsoil EA15K13 filters for $10.35 each & tax (No shipping) back in January. Not sure where your patron paid $32. I've heard some other crazy prices for oil filters in Canada.
Not sure on who makes it as well, but they do import from Baldwin, Hastings and others. I think the only ones that Amsoil produces themselves are air filters. At least here state side you can get em down to around 19 or so a filter if you buy a case of 12 of them. And if you're going by the full claimed lifespan of the filters that's gonna get you 180,000 miles or nearly 290,000 km. So at least you'd never have to go looking for more filters for a good long while.
Made by Champ Labs, in the US. Now, basically same filter can found off the Walmart shelf as the Fram Endurance, also made by Champ Labs. First Brands owns both Champ Labs and Fram now. So, the FE Endurance called Fram, but made by Champ. No need to pay Amsoil multilevel marketing price anymore.
pack of 12 of these is 300 dollars USD or 240 with the club subscription. if you're a mix of lazy and got the money, I'd buy a set of 12 knowing I'll be changing my oil every 5k miles and I don't have to worry about filters for 60k miles. it pays for itself in my field of work. edit: also considering inflation, that 300 dollar investment could increase to well over 400 dollars down the road.
those are made by Champion Laboratories, you can tell by the base plate and the nylon cage, and the bypass valve/leaf spring, personally I would buy a Wix XP that uses the same type of media they have a better assembly quality and are less expensive.
I pay $19.95 for a Jeep GC in MN. what model did he buy this for? Also, It would be COOL if you built a scorecard with these filters on there and criteria (price, cap material, mileage, filtration, filter material/backing, etc (whatever you may decide as important material) If you do, please let me know!
Wow you could change your oil several times with a different filter for the price of one of these 🤔 But there is no doubt that this one is high quality 👍
When I cut the filter open, I literally expected more quality than what I saw. For the price I am thinking top notch all the way through, not a middle quality filter.
That filter looks to be made by champion laboratories judging by the nylon inner cage and the base plate. Definitely not worth the money they are charging.
I think is so funny that PPL spend all that money on an OIL filter's they are going to throw away.. Look if you are at all like me and change your Oil under 2000K, Like I do mine every 1500 miles and people laugh at me. But every 1500 there's brand new oil with a brand new filter in my car... That to me is way better than spending double to triple the money and waiting to over 5k to 10K to change out Burnt Black oil. If you just get into the habit of changing your oil every 2000 to 3000, there wouldn't be a need to buy $20 filter's and $50 for 5 quart jugs.. So I am basically spending the same amount of money but my oil is always Newer and cleaner...
Very good points, your oil change schedule is pretty good. If you change it more often then your vehicle will last longer. I change mine every 5000 km with the cheaper filters and cheaper oil.
@@crazybillsgarage I'm kinda the same way, I use what ever is synthetic and on sale at Walmart.. I try not to totally cheap out so I usually go with Castral GDI or Pennzoil Plat, which ever is cheaper that day. And I go with a Mid grade Frame oil filter's being that at the most it will only be on the car for 2000 miles at the most...

In Canada we pay always more than our neighbors to the south. If you do live in the USA then I understand why you would pay less.

@@kimmillard9445 I also think Amsoil decreased prices across their entire lineup over the last few months
@kimmillard9445 very nice Kim.
Same filter as Royal Purple and Fram Endurance. All made by Champion.
Thanks CZjonny, Champion makes a wide assortment of filters for many different companies. I do like how Champion make there filters though.
Yup I saw a video of the endurance and Amsoil side by side opened up
Literally identical!!! Fram almost 50% less
@user-qb3vi5kk3t gotta get my hands on the Endurance to check it out.
Yes I just switched to these filters myself!
It is a really good filter, I would use them more but where I live they are expensive.

Thanks Chuck, and your very right about the glue they use, it will not break down easily from hot oil.
Ok I guess u don’t realize they don’t use the screen backed media anymore!
@@adrianrobinson7953 thank you Adrian for the reply, yes sadly the ultra synthetic doesn't see so ultra anymore.😢

15k is definitely a pipe dream on filters, just not worth the risk.
WIX and Purolator are made by Mann+Hummel.
Amsoil filters are made by Champion labs who make a huge majority of the best filters.
Thank you, many good filters out there

Wow that glue looks like a mess. Amsoil really #1? They better start upping their quality control.
Thanks Rob, the glue is a mess, that's why they are not my # 1 filter, I prefer the Napa Platinum.
FRAM Synthetic Endurance is exactly the same.
Thanks Vinnie, I have not received an Endurance yet. Ordered one but no sign of it yet. Will be ordering from another supplier.

@faxmen09 thanks for information, it helps.
This filter is $10 on the amsoil website, with prefer customer program and without that program $12.99 . Where did he buy it from for +$30 ?
That's a really good price, sadly where I live in Canada 🇨🇦 we pay stupid prices for oil and Filters. The filter was bought from Peavy Mart Winnipeg.

Smart thinking, I also buy my filters in bulk if possible. Thanks.
You really think $300 is a good investment for 12 dinky filters? I should probably thank you for contributing generously to the economy.
@moshet842 buy a bunch of wix for $100
@@moshet842 my money, my vehicle
also me: got a dozen for 200 dollars
again, my money my vehicle, your words aren't apart of this equation.
@@crazybillsgarage not a bad option. I just picked up 3 dozen for a hundred bucks.
Purolator Boss/ Wix XP is better(More media and cheaper). Amsoil is a Royal Purple is a is a name tax and not as good.
Thank you John, I agree that Boss and XP are at the top of the oil filter. I as yet have not cut open a Royal Purple yet.
those are made by Champion Laboratories, you can tell by the base plate and the nylon cage, and the bypass valve/leaf spring, personally I would buy a Wix XP that uses the same type of media they have a better assembly quality and are less expensive.

Six XP don't filter as small microns as Amsoil. Check out tests on the tube.
Amsoil has 15,000 and 25,000 mile filters. What mileage does a Wix XP guarantee?
@tubingpro up to 10,000 mile rating which they a good for me.
Made in Mexico I’ve been using them for years my filter I use is bigger filter for 1 ton ford f350
Hopefully you can get them cheaper than I can. Little to expensive for my wallet. I will stick to Baldwin, Wix, and Champion filters.
2008 Yukon amsoil oil filter part number?
I think that's oil filter EA15K50 your looking for, but not sure.
Love high coil plastic core
Yes Ronald I have also liked that construction feature of some filters
Seems like it would be great for promoting flow, so long as they stand up to the heat.

Wow you could change your oil several times with a different filter for the price of one of these 🤔 But there is no doubt that this one is high quality 👍
Yes very high quality but sadly cheaped out on the spring. I will keep using my quality cheaper filters.
The quality looks a bit disappointing.
When I cut the filter open, I literally expected more quality than what I saw. For the price I am thinking top notch all the way through, not a middle quality filter.
A little to expensive for me.
Yeah more expensive here in Canada. Thanks Ted.
Decent made filters
Yes decent made but expensive where I live.
That filter looks to be made by champion laboratories judging by the nylon inner cage and the base plate. Definitely not worth the money they are charging.
Thanks Maynard, many filters that are respectable for cheaper are numerous.
30$ is what I was paying for my royal purple ones..
