    How can you tell if a VIC filter is real or not? Are there telltale signs on the product itself or the packaging?

    Maganda print ng orig at may aluminum type seal tapr talaga yung box na lalagyan. Even the painting is uniform sa orig at sa fake eh parang may lampas-lampas. Mas mabigat din orig sa fake.

    There is a new announcement regarding the WIX brand of filters which will be readily available at 2 authorized online sellers located in QC and Pasig.
    The current distributor is currently screening online sellers that they are going to appoint as authorized dealers.

    Actually VIC prices always changes because of the volatile exchange rates of the Japanese Yen which usually the distributor uses to transact with the factory everyday it changes unlike the US dollar or Euro.

    Actually this double core filter is just a waste of filter space since they have 4 metal end caps per filter media lalo na since naka coil spring pa, in the most common of sense sa oil filter spin on type why would you need to put a inferior filtering capacity media at the top then another higher filtering capacity media at the bottom? When you can just put a one whole filter with higher efficiency filtration media sa loob ng isang can type filter? Why would you need to split two types one of an inferior media together with a better capacity one? It's just plainly aesthetics, if there is a lower capacity filtration at the top then the engine oil filtered will just contaminate the oil which is filtered by the bottom higher capacity filtration filter media. In the end you end up contaminating the better filtered oil with the poorly filtered oil.

    Also one of the VIC dealers said that during the presentation of VIC filters which they compared other brands like Sakura from Indonesia about the overall performance of their oil filter like filtration efficiency, pressure test, anti-drainback valve & etc... they have shown that VIC was only able to provide the maximum filtration capacity of 91%.
