Walmart, but I had to buy 6 singles.

For sure. Definitely going to keep track of it.

One of our company vehicles is a 1996 F150 with the 4.9L I6 with ~75000 miles. My first time personally changing the oil/filter (after an unknown OCI schedule/oil type) was to Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5w30 and this FL-1‐A filter in May 2025, with the intention of doing annual...

No, the rest of it seemed solid still. The filter material itself ripped when i tried.

Just have to scour the forum every few months to see which filter is the "best" at that time 😂

That one looked great. The denso is all I've put on this car over several changes, but this is the first change since I've had a cutter (or the reason to cut it)

Definitely not confidence inspiring, especially since the failed one was only from early '25.

2017 Toyota Prius 146k current mileage Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy or EP since purchased at 99k Unknown miles on this OCI, maybe 4k. I just change it based on the MM. Out: 90915-yzzn1, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 In: Mobil 1-203a (import) Mobil 1 ESP 0w20 Normally don't track or C&P...

I agree that its overkill, it's a truck that has sentimental value and don't mind paying more for oil.

I sure hope not! Haven't had any reason to believe that's the issue, knock on wood.

Good info. I just put in a magnetic drain plug and magnets on the filter to try to catch some of this. Should I dump this oil (2500 miles on it) to try to remove most of the flakes and hopefully the new magnets keep it under control with fresh oil? I hate the idea that its all circulating.

There were a few C&P that failed the "flashlight test", one that the filter element was crooked, and a few people that mentioned them being restrictive. It was probably fine, but my ocd felt better switching back to OEM, especially since I don't plan on my OCI going past 5-6k.

I don't have a microscope (anymore, had one as a kid, no idea where it went) but I may get a cheap one. Thanks for the advice! May be the motivation to actually do a used oil analysis.

Good to know. I just double checked with a stronger magnet, they are indeed ferrous.

Hello all, long time/first time. 2020 Silverado 5.3, 58k mi I recently switched from Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 to AMSOIL Signature Series 5w30 with the amsoil filter. Upon reading the forum, I saw some issues with the amsoil filters so I swapped back to an acdelco pf63. After the...
