They seem pretty expensive for a rebranded oil filter painted purple. Royal Purple don't make their own oil filters. Same manufacturer as some AC Delco filters, apparently. Info on BITOG.
What I don't understand is that if one is going to specifically use a warranty-approved oil such as was recently released by Royal Purple, why use a non-warranty approved filter?
