Cheap oil filters

[sAsLEX]

Did an oil and filter change on Gassit Girl's 750 this evening.... and yes, the GENUINE Suzuki filter HAS got the protective plastic cover on it

Of note the cheap 20 dollar "green and black" (can't remember brand) ones I get also come with the plastic cove.

Yes, know the brand. Looks good quality but surprisingly on one of the samples purchased for test 17 years ago the total paper area was 65% of oem. Other samples of the same brand matched oem for paper area....

Overstating the case but kind of akin to Russian roulette.

The OEM filta for my Suzoooki has "made in china" stamped on it , - whilst the aftermarket one that came off it has "made in Japan" on it - Go figure .........
