Sorry for bringing this back to life again but has anybody used the STP Oil Filter instead of the Mahle? Not trying to cheap out but tired of buying them online and my local store stocks the STP editions.

I’ll take a picture of the used stp filter on next oil change. It’s good quality and can’t tell the difference between oe and stp. They could even be manufactured in the same facility the way some of these companies roll...Anyone have both filters side by side to take some photos of both STP and Genuine/JLR together?
Thanks @scott schmerge ! Knowing your wrenching skills and the fact that you're using them is enough for me to take a shot!
You're probably correct. I started looking up the part number for STP and other brands are using the same number. FRAM, generic, etc. My guess is it's possible they're all the same with different boxes.They could even be manufactured in the same facility
