Id run the ecore version, the one thats choked up id do a free C&P here.

Oil has been sampled and will be sent next week to wearcheck. This is the largest magnetic filtering setup i have done so far mainly out of curiousity to experiment. I think we would probably see less visible metal debris if the car was more gently driven haha.

Photo of odometer when the oil and filter was change, subtract 10,055 miles from it. This is the first HPL oil run since it was purchased to replace the old test vehicle. This run did not have a magnetic drain plug at the time. The one with the Fleetguard LF16011 does currently. Which i will...

These are N42SH which are good up to 150C they are not cheap and cost about 4 dollars per magnet, i bought a pack of 50 last year on a discount sale at K&J Magnetics. I have run other exotic magnetic materials in the past which include SmCo32 disc but unfortunately the test vehicle was totaled...

This was pulled out a few months ago running on HPL HDEO 5W-40 for about 13 months. I was lazy or busy with life and didn't bother to post it in time until sorting out my phone camera photos today. Didn't expect this to work too effectively in capturing debris, car still runs fine and does...

Valvoline Restore and Protect also went up in price at RockAuto was around 27-28 bucks per 5 quart now up at around 35 bucks each now.

Donaldson Blue is probably the best in the market filtration performance wise. DBL7349, but doesn't have an anti-drainback valve & bypass relief valve. But if you want something just as good but with those 2 attributes then a Donaldson P502503 is an alternative with the same Syntec media rated...

Im currently running a Fleetguard LF16011 for the past 3k miles, which is a Toyota YZZD1 crossref on my Yaris daily. Its a decent filter but if you want better max efficiency go for the Donaldson P551132. Old school Toyota owners are blessed to have such filters available from such otherwise...

Can you tear the media to see if its wired back and confirm its synthetic material?

If you'd like to contribute and cut open the one on the right with a filter cutter, I'm curious of the internals. FRAM isn't the same company as it was prior to 2019, it was bought out, gutted/cheapened and run into the ground with its books cooked by First Brands Group so its really hard to...

If it ever matters to you, I have cut and used both the YZZN1 and YZZD3 on my other former & current Toyota Yaris without issues. Their bypass spring rates are about the same and the matching aftermarkets have variations more or less. Bypass value isn't really an issue as long as you are...

Ordered 8 Gallons of the SuperCar 5W-40, which is my goto standard for my 2022 WRX, 2011 Yaris, and 1989 240SX fleet. Thanks again for the deal. It may be expensive on first glance to the average joe but I have seen in my long commute hours and hypermiles of driving how much HPL oils give a...

My 2022 WRX is dyno tuned balanced for track and street use with supporting modifications, 350HP-ish. I talked to David at HPL about a year ago and he recommended to run SuperCar 5W-40 which I already had stocked up. I've been running this oil for about 3 oil changes so far in 6K miles...

Welcome to the club of rubbish Toyota filters, I had my fair share of them here and moved on to something else better. Someone in Thailand is sleeping on the job...
