Been awhile, but I'm here with another cut open filter. This is a MircoGuard MGL51516 for our shop truck. The truck is a 2006 F150 4.2L with 286,500 miles on the clock, it sees lots of highway use, stop and go, idling, and heavy loads of machined parts in the bed. It was cut with my cutter that...

These were the other filters that GM4LIFE sent me to open up. Right off the bat there is a difference in OAL. PF48 is on the right in all side by side pictures. And once again thank GM4LIFE for supplying these filters for cutting. Enjoy the pictures! Both OAL's were checked with gasket in...

A fellow member (GM4LIFE) sent these to me to cut open for him for research purposes, last night I opened them up. Everything on the external dimensions are pretty much identical (OAL is only .020 difference). And here are some pics below of the differences, enjoy! Please thank GM4LIFE for the...

These were cut during testing of the filter cutter I built. The FL400S filters I had laying around and the other two (L14476 and PH7317) were bought because they were smaller filters. Anyways here are the pictures of them cut open, Enjoy!

Finished all the machining, made a few changes from testing over the weekend. Had to move the cutter to the center, cut fine being off center but could only spin the filter counter clockwise or it would come out if spun clockwise. Also had to raise the wheel it self up a little bit, also...

Filter had maybe 5k on it and was on my brothers 2004 4.8 Silverado, I told him he took it off way too early. And I included some pictures of the filter cutter. It's 75% complete and have some finishing touches to put on it. It works extremely well so far and if the final design works out it...

Cut this open to test a little project I've been working on, more pics will follow when I get it finished. But it appears that it'll cut filters from 2 inch to 4 3/4 inch OD. In the meantime here are some pics of the filter I sacrificed.

Took this today. This is the best photo I could get with my phone. Previous owner whom was the original had oil changes done every 5k. Don't know what oil was used (Toyota Dealership).

I know that it's spec'd for 5w30 and 5w20, but is there anyone on here that has experimented with running 0w20 in the 4.7? Currently running 0w30 AFE, I do admit to becoming a fan of 0w20 after the switch in my wife's Corolla. I'd like to hear opinions as well. Thanks
