I don't know about the relevance of who makes them, but the Amsoil and Mobil 1 filters are not the same.

The one on the left is fake. That picture doesn't tell me zit.
Join the many who fell for Amsoil marketing. I've tried them too but didn't stick with them.
The relevance is most brands don't matter anymore especially those name brands people swear by. I've tried a lot of filters and my Z says I don't give a 5h!+ what you put as long as it does the damn job.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or trolling or what, but, the one on the left isn't fake. I had the filters and took the picture myself. The picture shows differences externally and internally. That's all I'm getting at.

I'm laughing right now. I'm sorry. In the many years I've been here, I've never trolled. Differences in pictures doesn't mean it is made by different manufacturers padawan.
