Nylon cage March 2025 date. Also poorly centered end caps, adbv pushed over and the base holes were open on one side. Plus that black on the adbv is dirt with visible metal flecks. Base plate not cleaned well. PH3614

Purolator looks great doesn’t it. I cut my Pentius PLXL open this morning. Never going to get around to using it. Most perfect media spacing and cleanliness I’ve ever seen. Can is super strong and thick. Adbv beautiful. All fit and finish remarkably good, except the center holes punching a...

That was an interesting one because it has the mesh, it is not magnetic( wasn’t magnetic before, was stainless) and the media was sort of loosely bonded. The close up of the media shows mostly free fiber strands, much more open than usually seen. I notice that when the media is packed with...

Need to check if adbv shifted over and there is a gap also. I bought 2025 New Fram product and the adbv wasn’t sealing the base holes. The QC inside was a mess too. Otherwise they have pretty good media but are starting to skimp on it even more than they used too.

What does this have to do with anything?

All that at 12:33AM? I’m not reading all of it but if you think oil is not spread out going through a slot just keep on thinking it. Makes the adbv bend more evenly too. Imagine one base hole. The media is very close, the spread oil won’t change shape much before it goes to the next pressure...

I wasn’t talking about baseplate pressure changes. The oil is dispersed more evenly and directed at the pleats more square on with slots or oval holes or plenty of any shaped holes. Much better imo. There are so many fittings and pressure changes in an engine, base plate change in pressure isn’t...

The oil is distributed more evenly with the slots. Less oil turning and hitting the sides of pleats rather than straight on. The oil streams are wider. I don’t think Denso was thinking about DP at all. Fram seems to be trying the same thing with an abundance of holes on some filter bases.

Not flow volume but flow dispersal, like the Toyota N1 base went to long oval shaped holes from round holes. In practice it seems to make no difference, but clearly there is a difference or Toyota, Denso really, wouldn’t bother with the change.

I haven’t read all the latest repies, but Chevy Bolt would be a good choice. There are used ones with new GM batteries in them. Depending on all the city, county, state, and federal rebates you qualify for, it could bring the cost down. Say the Bolt is 12000, don’t need to get the newest and...

197 pages of equipment that uses a 3/4-16 thread. Will find VW and others. So many in just this one size filter. https://www.fram.com/fram-extra-guard-oil-filter-spin-on-ph3614

That’s what I think too, some being saw 16 stamped on the base and what the heck 3/4 means they don’t know.

An electric vehicle with good range still, but priced to sell. No more oil Bob, no more tinkering. It should take awhile to have no range.

There probably is no magic numbers full flow oil filter. I never bought a Trasko for my truck because they say the thick paper roll is the full flow part and the bypass has a 8-10 micron screen. They may work though, but common sense makes it questionable. Apparently Subaru was part of the...

If a reputable company has slow movers and they get old, they surplus them out wholesale. Rock Auto, ebay sellers etc, buy them up. Like there are still Toyota filters sold on ebay with the all red boxes, must be five years already they started using red and white boxes. Companies having...

If one has a 1962 Toyota Landcruiser, they use an inch 3/4-16 thread filter. Where was this 16, 17 mm info found?

Mine is 17MHM1740 bought about six months ago on Amazon. Someone showed a pic of a hole not fully punched and the disk still hanging on in there. Casting doubt is powerful, so I never used it. Clearly Pentius wants USA to be bigger on the new label and prc not quite as visible to the buyer. Also...

Replace oil filter adapter orings to make sure none leak oil outlet to inlet. At that age it could be they harden or crack. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7105312&cc=1432231&pt=10649&jsn=10

Fram 3614 is D1 size Fram 3600 is D3. The only difference is D3 is longer. Both use inch threads 3/4” -16 threads/ inch. No exact metric equivalent. 16 mm and 17 mm won’t screw on, and where do those even exist for a car oil filter.

The recommended 90915-yzzn1 is fine, but if there is room, the 90915-yzzf1 is quite a bit longer. People have been buying the longer version for decades to substitute the shorty. Fram calls it the 4386 size. Purolator still makes the longer size. Oreilly Microgard standard has the taller size...
