cliff notes... JDM filter is the best. HAMP is almost identical with slightly less dense media. CDM is a fram and sucks. USDM is a JDM filter with a crappy media.
Best bang for the buck is the STP at $2.86
The US media looks much, much worse than the Fram
Comments:
The STP appears to be of excellent quality. The Bosch, Mobil 1, and STP appear to all use identical materials and construction, with only the Mobil 1 having a different filter media (appears to be coated). The pleat seperation/uniformity appears better than the Bosch filter. The Bosch, Mobil 1, and STP bypass valve utilizes a stiffer spring than any of the others and a rubber seat/seal which should help prevent leakage.
