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...

High TBN with high SAPs with HPL with PAO I would probably look at their HDMO Cold Climate series, not much viscosity grade options but its there. I'm currently running their HDMO in my Yaris for almost 10K now with all around magnetic filtration to sample for particle count and UOA before the...

Hope for the best, I didn't realize his age from the appearance in that video. I'm glad he was able to make a few videos of samples I sent him.

AI Thick vs thin oil videos. I wonder how long until we get AI chatbots on the forums to bicker about the same for as long we have been doing it before we all go past our retirement ages. AI slop is a real problem in other industry sectors. Thank goodness I don't have any major social media...

What I have currently in my filter inventory. Not exactly brand loyal, mainly look out for whats good here shown by others and share my own experiences as time goes. Fleetguard LF16011 (StrataPore media) looking to run this one next on my daily. Donaldson P551132 (Synteq media) Fram Titanium...

Looks great, finally Mobil 1 ditching that Purolator garbage.

I have heard of PAGID aka TMD Friction being one of the biggest Euro makes OEM suppliers and they have a nice reputation on the racing side of things for European makes. Not sure if their normal aftermarket pads hold up to their performance line of products. I'm open to ears as well on this as...

Goes to show there isn't much of this country left other than financial power and the clowns that possess them. All of this hyper financialization at the expense of workers and industries to benefit a few at the top of the leadership that gets their golden parachute when it all comes falling...

Thanks for sharing cleaning progression evidence of this oil. Its been a long time since last dropping by this thread for a read. Still hoping someone does a before and after valve cover photo. Seeing this already ensures confidence that in 4 oil changes or 20,000 miles would see a dramatic...

That make a lot of sense, a few years back I was looking up who was the division manager & product manager of the filtration side of First Brands and the name that came up had absolutely no technical background or history related to the filtration industry. I still vaguely remember it was some...

Good riddance. They have made some of the most dumb and short sighted business decisions ever. >Buys out FRAM. >Chucks their technical staff under the bus in the name of saving operations cost. >Cheapens the FRAM Ultra in attempt to save BOM cost while disregarding everything about what was...

PG is killing it. Good stuff right here.

Trico, aka First Brands came in and run them into the ground, if you did some reading around here around 2019-2020, their Ultra line of filters were well regarded and was verified by a third party filtration testing lab. First Brands Group has a reputation of acquiring businesses and...

Thanks for the photos OP. Seems like Advance Auto Parts have caught wind of the cheapening of American made brands of oil filters on the premium segment. This looks very similar to the Service Champ HP4459 filter internals except it was made in China instead of Vietnam.
