Motorcraft FL-910S from a neighbor's Craftsman tractor with a Briggs and Stratton 26hp V-Twin. It was in use for about 70 hours with Rotella T4 15w40. A Fram PH3614 went back on with Mobil Delvac 15w40. Filter looked good, all of the louvers in the center looked open, was too difficult to get...

STP S16 filter from a 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L my friend recently bought. The Jeep has 52,000 miles, and according to the service records from the previous owner, this filter was on for about 3,000 miles with "10w30" not sure which brand, and about a year. The media looked good, but the nitrile...

Was given a Fram Drive FD16. No idea how old it is, and decided to cut it open. Looks decent enough, media was strongly glued to the end caps.

Fram XG10060 from my dad's 2020 Grand Cherokee 5.7L. Filter was in use for 6,000 miles with Valvoline MaxLife Syn 5w20. It was replaced with a Champ PH48XL and more MaxLife syn 5w20. Filter and media looked good overall.

I cut open a Supertech MP7317 that was in use for 8,000 miles and a little under a year on my sister's 2003 Acura 3.2TL. The oil used was Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic 5w30. Maxlife Synthetic 5w30 went back in with a Champ PH2867XL. The filter looked good and silicone ADBV was perfect.

So I started buying the filters I frequently use in packs of 12, as ordering them individually from Amazon or Walmart seemed to result in a lot of dented filters bouncing around in incorrectly packed plastic shipping bags, and time wasted returning them. I ordered 12 Champ PH2867XL filters from...

Luber-Finer (Champ labs) PH2814. I got this filter from Amazon, it came in a torn bag and had a good sized dent on the bottom of the can. I was able to get a refund without returning it, so decided to cut it open. This crosses to the Fram PH8172 and AC-Delco PF2210. I use these on a few zero...

Fram PH3600 off neighbor's 2006 Jeep Commander 3.7L. Was in use for 6000 miles with Supertech 15w40. This engine only has 130k, but it drinks oil, like a quart every 2 weeks. Filter looked good, pleat spacing a bit wide near the seam but no tears. Rotella 15w40 and same filter went back in.

Early 1970s Ariens snowblower for a neighbor down the street. The old engine was blowing smoke and tired. He looked at the price of a new Ariens ($2000+ at the local dealer) and decided to re-power this one. I dropped in a Predator 212cc, replaced the belts, tires got tubes, new skid shoes, and...

Fram PH3600 - 7500 miles, came off a neighbor's 2006 Jeep Commander 3.7L. It had Supertech 15w40 since this thing burns about as much oil as gas. There are one or two pleats with some wide spacing, but they were firmly secured to the media, ADBV looked great, overall this filter looked great...

MANN HU816X filter from my 2009 BMW 328i. Was in use for a little over 5,000 miles with Valvoline Euro 5w40. Same filter and oil went back in.

MANN HU719-6X from my sister's 2013 Jetta 2.5L. 198k miles on the car, 6500 on the filter with Liqui-Moly 5w40. I replaced the filter with the same one (new one side by side for comparison) and Quaker State Euro 5w40. These MANN filters always look great, so I will continue using them for the...

Fram PH4967 cut open from a Lesco zero turn run hard and put away wet. Hour meter has been replaced, so unknown hours on machine but from how worn out it is I'd say a lot. 200 hours on this filter with Napa 15w40. Same oil and a SuperTech ST4967 went back on the Kawasaki. I'm not sure how to...

Fram PH16 off my friend's 1996 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. Was in use for 5,000 miles with Pennzoil HM 5w30. The Jeep has 130k miles on it. Pennzoil HM 5w30 and a Mopar MO-090 filter went back on. I think these filters are a good value for this application. Pleats seemed in good shape, everything was...

Fram PH4967, was in use for 40 hours on an Exmark zero turn mower with 708cc Chinese clone V-Twin. Was replaced with a Fram TG4967. Hard to beat these filters with the silicone ADBV (this one happened to be purple, probably due to supply issues) for under $4 for a mower engine.

Came off my sister's 2013 VW Jetta 2.5L - 10,000 miles on the filter with Quaker State Euro 5w40. Was replaced with a Mann HU719-6X.

Here is a UOA from my 2009 BMW 328i (E90) with the N51 engine and 5,000 miles on Valvoline Euro 5w40. Car had 90k miles at the time of the sample. Interesting about their note on the fuel, since this car now sees mostly short trips. My commute to work is about 6 miles, where the previous samples...

Echo backpack blower PB-620ST that a friend brought me claiming they think it just needs a spark plug since they couldn't get it to start. I went to pull it over and it was obvious it was low on compression. Go to check the fuel and it had straight gas in it, which makes sense seeing how the...

MANN HU816X with 5,000 miles on it from my 2009 BMW 328i with N51 engine. Oil used was Valvoline Euro 5w40, most of these 5,000 miles were my 6 mile commute to work, with a few 1+ hour highway drives. I replaced it with the same oil/filter.

Napa Gold 1085 (Wix 51085) from my Jeep Wrangler 4.0L. 161k miles on the Jeep, 3,000 miles and 1 year on the oil/filter. Oil used was Valvoline MaxLife 10w30, replaced it with a Fram XG16.
