This M1-211 was on my daughters 2001 Focus Ztec for 6000 miles with Maxlife 5w-20. I was going to run it for two intervals but since I had not cut open a Mobil 1 yet, curiosity won out and I changed it. I did not see this car often during this run, but I never heard start up noise when it was...

Fram XG3600 from a 2002 Focus Ztec. This filter was used for 8000 miles with QSUD 5w-20. Sorry I didn't notice how blurry these are on my phone. I can take new ones if someone really wants to see it, but there really is nothing special to see. It is a really well made filter. I just posted...

This Fram TG16 was on my Grand Cherokee with a 4.0 for just over 3000 miles with Defy 10w-30. The oil pressure was lower at idle with this filter. It sat around 20psi cold and 25 psi warm. Above idle it was around 60psi warm or cold. With the previous 10w-30 and Bosch filter it was at 30spi at...

This Wix 51358 was on the Polaris Sportsman 500 I just bought. I have no idea how long it was on there. The ATV has 1002 miles on it, and 270 hours. I replaced it with a Napa Gold 1358.

4200 miles on the Motorcraft 5w-20 oil and 2500 miles on this filter. This truck had the FL-820s with the big hole in the media. I replaced that filter with another FL-820s before I found the hole. When I found torn pleats on the FL-400s I took off my Focus, I replaced the second FL-820s, which...

Fram TG3506, 5500 miles from the 2000 Cavalier with a 2.4 using Defy 5w-30. This engine seems to be really hard on filters. I replaced it with a Mobil-1 filter this time. After the Mobil-1 I think I will try a Fram Ultra. Maybe the wire backed media will help in this car. I am also curious to...

Wix 51315 with 5000 miles on it using Defy 5w-20 from a 2001 Focus. Mostly city driving, short trips and drivers training miles. No start up rattle with this filter. I replaced this filter with a Mobil 1 filter since I got a few for a great price. This filter looks great so far. I will be...

These are pictures are from a Pro-Select 21042 that were on my daughters Cavalier with a 2.4 when she bought it. According to the receipts that came with the car it should have 4000 miles on it, except the shop on the receipt does not use Napa filters. I know the shop and would never take a car...

I did a fuel mileage check with my 2002 Focus before and after getting new tires and after an oil change. Here is some info and my unscientific results. Worn out Arizonian Silver Editions/QSUD 5w-20 with 4500 miles on it = 23.4 mpg. New Goodyear Triple Treads/QSUD 52-20 with 5300 miles on it =...

I would like to thank North Korea for allowing me to see the interview on Christmas day in the comfort of our own home for only 7 bucks. Do you think they take requests? There are a few coming out I would like to get the same deal. Although after watching The Interview, I could see the whole...

I took this FL-400s off my 2002 Focus today. The torn pleat looks like it collapsed in on its self and it's torn on both ends. All the way on the top and most of the way on the bottom. Of course it is the one by the seam. It has just over 4500 miles on it with QS Defy 5w-20. I was going to run...

I noticed the Fram Ultra XG2 has a bypass pressure of 12 psi And the all styles of the Wix filters have a pressure of 23 psi and the same flow rate. The Motocraft is 18-20 psi if I remember correctly. My questions are: Has anyone here used the Fram XG2 and a Wix on a Ford 24 valve 5.4 engine...

I was bored this morning so I decided to cut open some filters I was going to take to the recycling center. I found about a 3/8 hole in the Motocraft FL-820s I took off my truck last week. It had just under 4000 miles on it. I was going to run it longer but since I am taking it on 2 long trips...

My daughter plans to take one of the cars out of state for school. Despite how may reminders I give, it may be 2 years and as many as 20,000 miles before it gets an oil change. My 2002 Focus had to endure that for years with conventional oil, and still runs, but I really want to try to do better...

I tried a search on it but didn't come up with anything, but I am new and may have searched wrong. I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge or experience with Resolute oil from Fleet Farm. I decided to try it when I did an oil change on one of the cars a few months ago. So far it seems...
