I'm considering buying a high mileage 2009 Saturn Vue from a family member. They've owned it since it had only 10,000 miles on it and it's well maintained with tons of maintenance records. Extremely clean interior and the outside is in very good shape aside from one rust spot on the rear quarter...

Since I've owned the car, when it is relatively cold out (i.e. under 60F) and the car sits for an extended period of time, it starts up fine then after a second or two starts to idle too low and backfires, sputters, chugs and sometimes stalls. The idle will occasionally rev up to 2-3k then drop...

This was in use for 3,467 miles on a 2005 Toyota Sienna. Toyota 3.3 V6 engine. Put on in a period of about 2 months. Oil used was Supertech conventional 5W-20. Changed it out a little earlier than anticipated since our winter decided to arrive early. Looks great to me. ADBV working fine, made a...

Taken from my cousin's 2005 Mustang GT. About 6 months (4,000 miles) on OCI using Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20. Looked good, even with the large gap around the seam there were no tears. End cap came unglued, which I find to be typical for Purolators. Not the best photos I've ever taken, but hopefully...

Hey everyone, I am planning on purchasing some Amsoil 4-stroke Marine 10W-30 oil for $2 a quart today from someone locally and wanted to know if this would be alright to use in a Honda GCV160 lawnmower? I see no reason why oil for a 4-stroke marine application would not suit a small air-cooled...

This came from my sister's old Sienna that was totaled. I forget what year it was, but it was an '04 or '05. The filter sat around for a year or two but was just cut open today. The center tube fell out without touching it. There was a lot of gunk on the base plate and some sludge on the bypass...

From a mid 2000s Toyota Sienna (2004 or 2005, I believe). Unknown time/mileage. Was on the vehicle when it was purchased, but the oil change sticker was missing. Looked great to me. The end caps were very solid and the ADBV was functioning perfectly. Can't be too old since it has the newer...

Unknown mileage, probably around 5-7k. I believe it was on either my friend's '07 Accord or my mom's '16 HR-V. Looked perfect. It had the thickest can I've ever cut open. My wrist hurts just looking at it. My favorite budget filter. I wish they were more readily available aside from having to...

Unknown mileage. I've had a bunch of these sitting in the garage from my old '08 Scion tC and my girlfriend's '01 Celica. I usually used them for 5-10k miles. Looked perfect, as they always do.

This was from a 2005 Mustang GT (4.6 V8) and only had about 2,000 or 2,500 miles if I remember right. I tried telling them it could go further, but they wanted it changed since it sat all winter on the vehicle. Oil still looked like new. Pleats were a little wavy around the seam. No tears, which...

This was on a 2007 Buick Lucerne (3800 Series III) for 5,000 miles put on in about 10 months. Unknown bulk 5W-30 oil. Was not used during the winter. Looked surprisingly good for an ecore. The end caps did not come off easily and the pleat spacing was decent. Still full of oil indicating a...

In use for approximately 3,000 miles in my '98 Camaro Z28 with the 5.7 LS1 V8, and sat on the vehicle while in winter storage and run a few times before changing it again in the spring (about 9 months total) Looks fine aside from the wonky pleat spacing near the seam. ADBV was still pliable...

This came off of my '07 Accord that's been to the moon and back. Two consecutive oil changes of approx. 6k each. Oil used was Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W-20 and Pennzoil Platinum 10W-30 with other various oils as top-off. Everything looked fine to me. The pleats were all straight and had...

Taken off of my girlfriend's '01 Celica GT with the 1ZZFE 1.8L engine. The filter was in service for approximately 6k miles put on in 8 months. It was still very full of oil when taken off. ADBV was pliable and I saw no tears or issues. Not my finest pictures... I was trying to hurry before the...

Hey everyone, I bought a Honda Harmony II with the GCV160 engine last August and I've noticed that since taking it out of winter storage, it seems to smoke a bit at startup. It took two or three pulls to get it going the first time, and it smoked for about 3-5 seconds. Before storing it, I...

Hey everyone, I just bought a slightly high mileage Accord and when I purchased it, it had a check engine light on (P1157 - O2 sensor). I replaced it with an OEM sensor (Denso, I believe) and that code went away for about a day, then the CEL came back on the next day with a P0420 code, which...

Older stock I purchased a few years back. This was used on my sister's 2007 Vue, which has the Honda V6. 6k miles, including colder temps and some short trips. Changed per the OLM. It looks like there is a slight tear by the end of one of the pleats near the seam, but it was very hard to tell...

Ran this for a little over 5,000 miles on my 08 tC. Mostly highway miles, summer temperatures. Time on filter: 4 days short of 3 months. No tears. ADBV still pliable and working fine. Filter was full of oil when cut open. Oil used was Royal Purple 0W-20 and 1/2 quart of Havoline Synthetic 5W-30...

Hey everyone, One of my friends brought his 2007 Accord 2.4 over yesterday and I offered to do an oil change on it for him. I looked in the owners manual and it stated 4.4 quarts for the 4 cylinder model, with filter. I added 4.5 and we checked the level 3 times on 2 different flat surfaces...

This was either from my tC or my girlfriend's Celica. If it was from my tC it only had about 1,000 miles on it. If it was from her Celica, it had 4,457 miles on it. I accidentally mixed the filters up as they were both using OEM Toyota filters. Looks great, whichever it was used on. I'm thinking...
