At least the support tube on the Denso has good sized openings for oil flow, the Bosch Mexico support tube is mostly closed openings, impeding oil flow

Great observation man. I like the Denso filter but not happy that they lied about the anti-drain back valve being silicone. It's obviously nitrile rubber.

Looks as if every filter going some other country! Always been a fan of Purolator....

Never tried it. Is it expensive? I usually spend $7 or less.

I bought a used Ford Edge and even tho I am a mechanic I bought the extended warranty. I knew there are things that are expensive repairs so being close to retirement at the time I bought into the warranty. For this reason I was buying my filters from Ford. I didn’t want any excuse from a warranty company denying a claim. Ford/Motorcraft has switched the manufacturer of the filter , it’s uncanny the differences shown in this video are identical. My wholesale cost on the Motorcraft is about $10 now , Fram,Delco that my supplier carries is under $5 my cost wholesale. Yes , I’ve got my money back on the warranty. 11 hr job to do timing cover oil leak and waterpump while it was open made it worth it to me

Used to love Motorcraft filters when I had my Mustangs. Always good quality. I'm sad to hear they are farming the manufacturing out to a sub-par vendor. At least it saved you on the warranty work.

My top two filters for a reasonable price are the purolator boss and Mobil one extended performance. I used to buy the 15400-rta-003 Honda filters as they are made in Japan, but they are hard to find and expensive now.

How much are those? Probably over $10. I guess we were lucky getting a great filter from Bosch for a reasonable price. Now we're getting what we're paying for, I guess. Still so disappointed.

Do you get MANN filters over there? They are OE for a few car makers such as Volvo

The difference in quality is so stark. Did no one at Bosch compare the two filters? Did they not even give the Mexican factory an old one to copy? Such a huge miss.

I like the Wix filter for Hondas. The two I bought are higher quality and made domestically.
