Thanks!

Just received the Pentius PLXL7317 - inspection looks good for the most part, but is this amount of glue at the bottom normal for these?

Good stuff, thanks!

Between the CarQuest Premium and the Pentius PLXL, which would you choose?

Here (literally lol). But if they're not good filters, that's the reason for my post

I ended up getting a Pentius PLXL7317 to try out for my next OCI which is some time away. However, people did mention to check QC closely as a result of the single bad QC report that was shared on Amazon. I'm new to this "inspect your oil filter" thing, as historically I would just buy the M1...

This is solid info. Has anyone tested flow rates with the Pentius? I'm tempted to try it out if it does not have similar pressure drops to the Purolators For some reason, I thought Pentius and CQ Premiums were internally the same. Clearly, that doesn't seem to be the case

Thanks for the help everyone. I've uploaded a video of the metallic sheen when agitating the used oil. Let me know your thoughts!

I'm hoping this is just a really intricate illusion. I'm slightly near-sighted, so seeing some of the detail up close isn't an issue.

Thanks for the info - and yes I wish we were talking about baby names instead lol. I was trying to dig around the forums for the current recommended filters - however, I'm receiving mixed guidance, with some older posts saying Fram Ultra, Napa Gold, or Wix.... But others are saying those...

I had a shop do the service since I was on a time-crunch at the time. But they mentioned the cams and everything else under the valve cover was extremely clean for the mileage. I can sort of vouch for that as I can see parts of the cams through oil fill port. No major scoring and still a...

Long time viewer, first time poster. I have a feeling this post is going to be long so I've attached a TLDR. TIA! TLDR: My 2008 Honda Civic Si has 102k miles, and I'm trying to figure out the source of a persistent, ultra-fine, silver glitter dust in the oil only visible under direct bright...
