Good video Pro! Although the metal part he thinks is a anti-drain-back valve is actually pressure relief, still the video makes the point. The video doesn’t touch on e-core filters though, which are rapidly taking over the market. Even Wix, GM, NAPA & all cartridge filters uses them.

The pics below are from some a very small part of the filter work I ran for many years. The first pic is a re-buildable filter I designed  that allowed us to use any components for a specific filter.

These were a very unique filter from an OEM. Europe if I remember right.

This is a oil condition monitoring system that’s in the wind turbine at the Cleveland Science Center, also did some filter testing for the gear box on this unit.

What does the term "e-core" stand for? I understand that they are the cartridge filters like the one in my 2011 Equinox? Are they as effective as spin-on filters? The Fram Ultra and STP Extended Life filters seem well made.

I have heard that SuperTech filters are now made by WIX. Very good looking filters now days.

The E in encore stands for environmental. The filter assembly of filter media is glued to a engineered plastic structure. This design came from Europe. There was a big push in Europe to incinerate oil filters as opposed to dumping in a landfill like the US. That said as a spin-on the point is mute as the ecore is encased in a steel can! 

Still these are actually a well made filter, as I worked with quite a few OEM from Europe when these were coming to be. The new style GM filters like PH48e for instance is an ecore filter.
