    Service Champ High Performance Synthetic HP4459, unexpected find

    I bought these recently after my potential disappointment with the FRAM Endurance FE9688 that came out of my WRX, filter C&P which is posted in another thread. With the Endurance now gone from Walmart I thought I'd give Premium Guard made filters a try. Scored a case of 12 for around 35 bucks...

    Multiple oil filters cut open

    Had a hodgepodge of filters laying around so I thought finding the time to cut them all open at once. I'll start with the Subaru WRX oil filter thats from Tokyo Roki. This one was in service for over 5500 miles with the vehicle just shy of 35,000 miles. This thing spilled oil all over, the ADBV...

    FRAM FE3600 - 3260 miles - RIP C&P

    This is the final oil filter that was on my Toyota Yaris 100 mile daily driver that got totaled in the rear by a large semi truck in the fast lane earlier this month. Its quite unfortunate I wasn't be able to run this filter long enough to get the oil sampled for analysis as I had some running...

    Mighty T4612 C&P

    This was pulled from the 2019 Honda HRV yesterday, mistook it as a service champ filter on first glance until I had time to get a gander on her. Not the best looking oil filter, louvers are in pretty bad shape. Glad I pulled it out as the car was recently purchased by a family member and just...

    FRAM FE7317 & Supertech MP9688 cut open

    This came out of the friend's 2013 KIA Rio, just a little over 80K on the clock of miles traveled. The oil was in service for about 3274 miles. But we have a problem! She has noted her car is starting to eat lots of oil, much more than before in which she was short tripping. This time she has...

    Subaru OEM filters C&P - Bypass relief pressure measured

    24 bucks spent straight from the local dealership to address the elephant in the room: The long debated bypass opening pressure of Subaru OEM filters. Both filters look very high quality as expected and thick can took a bit of elbow grease to cut open. Not much to say other than they're very...

    Report was completed at WearCheck, you can buy oil sample kits from @High Performance Lubricants which is a MOB2 kit for 35 dollars plus shipping. This is just a base sample of how the oil held up at 5,000+ miles to monitor current engine wear and oil conditions undergoing extended drain...

    FRAM FS3600 - 5603 miles - HPL PC5W30-Q

    This is the first run on @High Performance Lubricants PCMO oil after the engine cleaner 30 run from the last drain. The filter looks more visibly loaded than the last filter. You can see there is a lot more carbon chunks at the bottom of the can and the magnets caught some stuff as well as...

    Wix XP cheapening? No longer wire backed.

    Didn't want to hijack the other thread so I'll continue where it left off as I replied to him I will post pictures of the product on my next visit. At least they're not hiding it in plain sight as the change is also printed on the packaging. Anyways, probably a PSA for you folks that care, this...

    Fleetguard LF16011 - Cut open - New

    This is a direct cross-reference to the Donaldson P551132 and indirect cross to the PH3614 which is spec'd for the Cummins B3.3 engine. One of the Fleetguard LF16011 arrived damaged so I decide to cut her open. Counted 53+1 pleats which includes the metal seam, probably the most packed synthetic...

    Had some time to re-arrange my garage today after a good long Thanksgiving night. To entertain the mundane time down there I have quite a few of these laying around which almost all I have been given free from AutoZone 20 dollar rewards and oil change bundles. They used to be a bit taller...

    Toyota 1NZ-FE oil filter oversize application

    Just wanted to post this to document possibilities fitting an oversize filter on Toyota's vehicles that take the smaller YZZN1 filter. This application is on the 1NZ-FE engine, one of the more reliable yet unimpressive of Toyota's design should its power be underwhelming but makes up very well...
