Oil Filter Friday,
Watch a new oil filter inspection video every Friday on this channel.
I use this oil filter 3614 on my riding mower and the SuperTech 6607 on my car. Both work just fine. No issues.
TheSuperTech 7317 size filter might fit if there's room.
I cut open a super tech oil filter that was on a buick/ gm 3.4 liter. It had the same ultrasonic welded on end discs. The filter did its job and there was no separation at all. Oil filters are made to filter oil THAT'S IT nothing more, nothing less.

Hyundai 130K
All used Walmart oil & filters and still going strong
If you keep your oil changed and you never rev the engine when its freezing cold out you wont have a problem with any oil filter. I have had new oil filters that wouldnt supply oil pressure put another one on and everythings ok
I'm curious how did you know the oil pressure dropped, do you have an oil pressure gauge, and what oil filters did this? I put a working gauge on my vehicle a couple of years ago, I've only tried two different Filter Brands, but have never had this happen.
Thanks for your comment.👍🙏😊
@@WhipCityWrencher The motorcraft is on my 65 mustang I use super tech on everything else.
Supertech construction of its filter don't make me feel too confident
They're fine, I'll make a video on a used super tech and Fram oil filter. Both filters stayed in tact they lasted and filtered oil as they should. I've used every kind of oil filter out there. I never had any problems.
I do agree that wally world supertech oil filter is fine.. as entry level oil filter. I'm a fan of its Warren made Syn SuperTech oil too. But I rather upgrade to better oil filter if its cost a few dollar more after all it is after your car you use everyday. Case in point, I drive a Lexus RX and I can its oil filter from Toyota for $6 a can Vs superTech $4-5 ish for its filter. So why not get something a little better.. your car will thank you for it.
My 2006 Fusion uses filter elements and all that I have seen for it have been felt ends and they seem to hold up ok. The reason I like the plastic cage is that there is far more open area for the oil to flow than the metal cheese graders.
JMHO, but I'm not a fan of the felt end caps, the plastic cage is okay I'm all for a better oil flow.
I use the walmart filters. I think they are the same as acdelco professional. I change my oil at 3,000 miles even if it is synthetic. Oil is cheap.
Hi J Alton,
Thanks for watching and your comment's 👍.
Really? I changed mine at 10,000 miles with synthetic and no problems at all.
@@cnn787-i9e On average, 3,000 miles is when I change oil. A person could view it as a waste of money, but I view it as money well spent on maintaince. I also change air filters more often than needed.
May I ask how old your vehicles are?
@@jalton9416 mine is a 2012 Mitsubishi Galant with over 170,000 miles. Engine still run like brand new and smooth, I have only done normal wear and tear maintenance on the car such as brakes, timing belt, and oil change every 10,000 miles using only synthetic oil. It helps that over 90% of my driving is highway mileage.
@@cnn787-i9e I would say you are doing alright with your service intervals than. Glad your vehicle is holding up well. The vehicles I service are:
2000 dodge neon with over 120,000
2003 chevy tahoe with over 200,000
2004 chevy silverado with 160,000
2006 chevy silverado with 130,000
2008 honda civic with 160,000
I use conventional oil in all the vehicles except the 2006 silverado. I use full synthetic in it.
Thanks for sharing.
same filter on my Toyota 349 k that n st oil. not a damn thing wrong with it 😂
I think it looks good, i use napa gold for synthetic but would prefer anything else for dirt cheap cars.
For a cheap filter I like the Filter Media, but Felt end caps kills it for me. Why cheap out on the lifeblood of your engine. For $3 more you can get an STP or a Purolator, which is much better made.
Wix, Napa Gold (made by Wix) or Baldwin. Why cheap out on the lifeblood of your engine. Oil and Filter is cheap compared to a new engine.
Thanks for the video.
(I agree), if you don't already know how to tell them apart, I'll have a video out Friday 10-30-20 explaining how to know if the filter for your vehicle has metal or felt end caps before you buy it. Hey, Thanks for the comment👍 and Take Care!
Thanks for the comments! My test is I always hold two filters- one in each hand. I always purchase the heaviest filter I can find. Usually that ends up being a Wix or a Baldwin. Can't wait for 10-30-20 video!
Microguard are rebranded WIX filters
@@racers115 you are correct, but the wix filters were discontinued in 2018. There are some people who claim they are still around, but I haven't found any.
The Wix Filters cans were white in color.
A thread on Bob the Oil Guy reports the Blue ones are made by Champion Labs. bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/who-makes-blue-supertech-filters-now.288294/
@@jasonreid1332 That thread and what they are referring to is that Walmart has switch to having their filters made by Champion rather than WIX so in that regard, most of the Supertech oil filters that were made by WIX may be gone from the Walmart shelves by now, but WIX itself is not gone as a company and you can still get the exact same filters that were relabeled as Supertech and sold at Walmart however you would just need to cross reference the part number to the actual WIX brand or one of the other brands that are WIX but labeled as a different brand such as Napa Gold, or Mircroguard. The label on the box or newest color they choose to paint the can is irrelevant. What matters is the filter inside and who manufactured it. The WIX filter l purchase from Oreilly's costs $4.99 and for the quality it's it's a great buy. l usually purchase in quantity and take advantage of the frequent % off rewards Oreilly's sends me through email. Last time l took advantage of a coupon and % off l picked up 8 of the WIX made Microguard filters for $3.49 each. WIX has 11 production facilities in 8 different countries and employes over 3500 people. Walmart constantly switches from one manufacturer to another on many items, but l never purchased oil filters there anyhow.
Just change your oil every 3000 miles and don't worry about it other than making sure you keep it topped off with no leaks.
Yes I use it does just fine
Thanks for your feedback.👍🙌
So weird I just bought same filter and mine has metal tops on filter and orange drain back valve at bottom, go look at other videos and some have the drain back and metal caps on end of filter this is the extra shitty version when u buy look for orange drain back valve in bottom so much better quality exact same price and number.
had no issue with this filter on my tacoma i think ill cut open my next one to see how it turns out
Good Idea 👍,
Odds are the filter will do it's job without any issues.
The filter media on these Supertechs look pretty good, I just don't care for the felt end caps. Some of the Supertechs have felt end caps, some are metal, depends on what filter the vehicle calls for. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@WhipCityWrencher i have the 3614 also and last time i was going to cut it open it was just a pain in the ass. i replace every 4-5k anyways because oil is cheap and my truck makes me money so $16 every 4-5k is no big deal i get costco oil and supertech filters around $16 after tax is so big deal
@@Xiferr Nothing wrong with that oil change interval.👍
Other videos show the K& N, Mobile1 and the internals are the same as the Supertech MP. Made by Warren, the same company. Car Quest and NAPA premium filters are top notch and I think Wix makes one of those.
Wix makes the Napa oil filters, and Champ labs make the Supertech oil filters and I think Carquest oil filters are made by Purolator.
Wix, purolator, Napa ac Delco, k&n, mobil 1...are all the same company....owned by mann company out if germany
@@WhipCityWrencher Ford Motorcraft are Purolator too I believe.
@@johnervin1474 Purolator design is the same as Bosch in most SKUs, which co-owned them til 2013, but is now wholly owned by MANN Hummel. ACDelco, K&N and the old mobil1 is manufactured by Champion Labs in US (owned by Trico), with some (mostly cartridge filters) out of China.
It'll be fine
I change the oil in all my vehicles at 3000 mile intervals including synthetic oils.Oil is the life blood of the engine.
Its a low (cheep) end filter. Fram has the orange can of death with cardboard end caps and Champion, who makes Super Tec and AC Delco filters has these ones with the felt end caps. Personally i would rather spend an extra $5.00 and protect a $12 to $15,000.00 engine. I use Fram Ultra on my Toyota. Very good video, one thing you people do that makes the Oil Filter manufactures happy is convince people to buy their more expensive filters. Keep up the good work! A lot of people have no idea what garbage the low end filters are and how they can be bad for your engine.

I agree with you 100% 👍. I too use the Fram Ultra, Just recently Put in a Purolator Boss in my SUV. In one year I'll take her out and make a video. In case you missed the video here is the filter media that the Purolator Boss uses. ua-cam.com/video/HwLMBIX94ho/v-deo.html
Thanks for the Compliment and Comment. Take Care!
Now they have metal end caps and orange drain back valve st3614 bought one today
I'm a bit confused because I've used SuperTech filters for years and the ones I've used have metal end caps and center, rather than the felt and plastic. I'm going to have to look again the next time I change my oil.
Hi Kevin,
Some of the Supertechs have metal end caps some don't. It depends on what filter your vehicles calls for. "link below" Watch this video and you can tell which filter you have.ua-cam.com/video/Q_xigJaIoHI/v-deo.html
I think this is a fram without the grip, even the number is the same.
Champion Labs. makes all of the Walmart oil filters.
Cheaper version of a AC Delco (E) filter
Nope same filter same assembly line different sticker
Man this filter is great for my 2000 toyota corolla a cheap car fitted with cheap parts what more can you ask for lol.
I don't care for Felt end caps👎. What do you folks think?
Not my favorite, for sure.
I've GENTLY cut open a used super-tech oil filter before. None of the pleats separated from the felt end-disc. Same with Fram oil filters, they held up as well.
It a fine filter just don’t go 10k before changing your oil.
i just bought this exact filter for my lawn mower.
Thanks for watching and your feedback👍🙏😊
This is EXACTLY like the yellow KOHLER filter.
I opened up a used Kohler oil filter and compared it to an ST and MP Supertech oil filter. The video will be shown on Tuesday, November 15th.
Is super tech good filter or not ?
They are a good Champ Made oil filter, the MP version is better.
I wonder how well it works on abrasive particles SMALLER than 30 microns. There is only a few microns clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls.
Probably not very well
I think it depends on the SKU, but most of the BITOG folks that have contacted Champion Labs, the ones that manufacture Super Tech, ACDelco, K&N, Champ and LuberFiner, have said between 92-94% at 20 microns. At least a few of the MP SKUs guys were told 99% at 20. It's a good bet that all the MP SKUs use a different filter element. I'm still looking into if the ChampXL, ACDelco Gold, MP Super Tech, and K&N are all the same. If so, either K&N is WAY overcharging for their ip, or you get a great deal on the others.
Wix or Champion makes them I belive.
Champion.
Wix is one of best filters
Yup champ filters makes those.
if you change the oil every 3.000 is ok to use that filter
Good filter for doing a engine flush!
👍
Have you cut open the super tech mp3614 to compare?
No, I haven't, but I'm sure they are the same except the MP would have a silicone anti-drain back valve. Check out this video I made ua-cam.com/video/14vnbhJI-4w/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
Cheaply made filter.
FORD? Motorcraft only DO NOT GO CHEAP ON OIL FILTERS !
Looks like junk to me......I use Napa platinum
the $5.00 one is much better-but i would only use these for 3000 mile changes--good flow on the e-core-thanks for your showing these filters and others
You're Welcome!
Thanks for watching and your feedback👍🙌
Any filter with them cheap ass fabric end caps if that's what you call them isant worth buying. When that shit comes apart and gets all in the motor your gonna wish you spent another 4 bucks for something much better.
Easily the best deal out there is Rock Auto's price on Bosch Premium filters. Even with shipping they're a deal.
Yeah but let them send you the wrong oil filters and they charge you to send it back rock auto yes they have lower prices but they charge a lot for shipping and then when they make a mistake they make you pay to get it back to them or they take it off there any refund I had this experience last year with rock auto I will never ever buy anything from them and I think people need to go go look at the reviews online about rock auto customer service
@@keithfaccone8124 If you buy something from a merchant, any merchant, and they don't send you what you ordered you can dispute the charge and you'll get your money back with ease. I hardly call what they change for shipping a lot. Yes, if you're buying a single filter it's not worth buying from them.
Can't stand that they've reduced filter size yet again. If you want to optimize your filtration, too bad. The manufacturers won't let you. And, now brand new cars costing $50k designed to burn oil. That's just a kick in the face.
I like the cellulose end caps, read they are better than metal, but, I don't see it having a bypass valve, I'd pass on this filter.
This filter is made for vehicles with engines that have an internal bypass valve.
Thanks for the feedback!👍
Wow.. Felt end caps, plastic inner tube...no wonder this filter is so cheap..The fiber/cardboard end caps on the fram extra guard are better than this..Thanks for the info..I will NEVER screw one of these onto my car's engine.
Your Welcome! If you don't already know how to tell them apart, I'll have a video out Friday 10-30-20 explaining how to know if the filter for your vehicle has metal or felt end caps before you buy it. Hey, Thanks for the comment👍 and Take Care!
@@WhipCityWrencher Thank You! Looking forward to Friday's video
Looks cheap wouldn’t use it on my garden tractor
🤣
@@blueslime1703 in more rural areas you commonly have garden’s big enough for using tractors to plow. I use an Ingersoll 4016.
I've used the st3614 on a husqvarna riding mower worked just fine.
@@justinwilkerson4697 not that it won't work quality.is questionable
Put it next to a kohler filter, exactly the same. These work great on small engines.
