So far we know this.

Fleetguard - Fleet service heavy duty filter

Baldwin- Fleet service heavy duty filter

Bosch- good over the counter filter

Mann- decent filter not the best specs for efficiency but well built

Fram- Orange can of death, one of the worst on the market.

OEM-Toyota black can not made by Mann, Low quality filter

OEM-Honda low quality filter paper end caps, cheaply made

OEM-Madaz decent filter good for 5000k oil changes

OEM-Nissan white can, total garbage, foam filter media thin cardboard

Nissan- made by Mann, decent over the counter filter 5000k use.

Mobil1-good over the counter filter

K&N - good over the counter filter

WIX- above average oil filter heavy duty construction.

OEM-Ford (Motorcraft filter) Good over the counter filter

ACDelco-None Ultraguard and Duraguard are of very low quality

OEM-Hyundai-good OEM filter

VIC- Very cheaply made, restrictive bypass valve, poor filter media

Union-Decent over the counter filter, basic paper media 5000k Change out

JHF- Decent Koren made over the counter filter 5000k use

Fil- lable says (for) Toyota, red and white box, Yellow lettering on filer, undersized filter media, bad bypass valve cause filter to recirculate unfilterd oil.

Fil-Fram Koren version. same issues. Steel on steel relief valve fails to seal, leaves dirty oil circulating.

Toyota (Denso) Japan, has on average fewer pleats for fitering vs other filters. Example MANN has 60 pleats vs Densos 29, vs Frams 59 in the same size filter. Very short life filter.

Very cheaply made pala ang VIC? I was considering this in my next oil change. Surprisingly, okay pala ang Purolator and it cost cheaper than VIC.

Sayang, kakabili ko lang ng OEM Toyota filter. Sino kaya may gawa ng Altis filters dito? Sa ngayon, I am on Purolator filters from Speedyfix.

Note : i cant seem to reply in this thread without quotting a post. hehehehe

My opinion. I never had a problem with Vic filters ive used em for years and my cars seem to be ok considering i have a 30year old car and a 20 year old pickup.

i tried using the cheaper WIN filters and that was pure ****. na notice ko na sobra taas temp ko and parang iba tunog sa makina after an old change i was really confused since galing oil change i figured na it has to be the filter i immediately change that and viola na back to normal. I think barado sya . Will never use WIN again.

Actually WIN filter brand is just a private brand made up by a company in the Philippines, it is one of the worst low cost filters available only in the Philippines' market just like the same aspect as CDR-King, a made up brand and outsourced from a low cost poor quality manufacturer. WIN filter brand is being made in Taiwan. The same as the other private brands like Union-Asahi imitation of Union filter and etc... There are lots of made up brands or copycat brands in the Philippines which are only targeted at the mass market of D & E which only focuses on the price. Check niyo packaging ng WIN brand filters and Union-Asahi filters both of which have a similar copied design from a specific Japanese branded filter from a very long time ago.
