Full brand oil filters?
Is this an established brand I've never heard of or another price leader?
Thanks, Sixto 87 300D |

Is "Full" the name of the brand?

Yes.
Looks like they've yet to cut open one of these filters - http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1503015 Sixto 87 300D |

FULL filters are made in Thailand. They have been used in the Asian market for years and are now coming to the US.
I understand they are a well made filter, but I always use WIX myself. |

If they are made in Thailand, its no wonder no one is admitting to opening one. They are probably full of white powder!! I dont like supporting a country that openly produces large quantities of heroin for the black market!!

I would not use them. For $2 more you can get a german made filter that is not made in a slave-labor-drug-producing country.

I sell filters as part of my business, and I get approached regularly by foreign companies who will take a cheap asian filter and put whatever label/logo I want (supposedly my website's name). The idea is, I can make 60% gross profit if I buy these cheap things and sell them. Pass.
