I was buying the filters from a Saturn dealer until I found them cheaper at the SAAB dealer than even the aftermarket. The STP filters I have bought had been the same filter even with the 'hengst' name stamped on them. The biggest variance I've seen is whether or not they contain the additional
O-ring seal. Some do some don't. If you're DIY please shop around. I usually buy 3-4 at a time just so I have them. I can get OEM for around $7 unless it's free shipping it's hard to beat that!
As a side, I still can't figure out how a filter with less material costs more than than the old spin on variety. Huh?
