Wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe, 240,108 on the dash today. 4,906 on the filter. Changed it about 100 miles early, but I am working overtime at work all January. That makes today the day! Had Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic 5w-30 in it and that's what went back in with the same filter. No makeup oil...

Regretfully I don't know the mileage, but it's been on my wife's 1992 Mercury Capri for over a year. The oil change sticker went away with the broken windshield. It's been a very trying ordeal getting a windshield back in the car, but my glass guy came through for me on Christmas Eve. So today I...

So a friend of mine stopped by in his pretty nice 2007 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi, asking me about brake noise. I diagnose the noise but can't get around how bad the engine sounds. I pull the stick, and nothing. No oil on it. I tell him I have some oil (Mobil 1 AP 5w-20) and a filter that fits...

This Bosch was used on my 1947 Ford Tractor for 6 months and unknown hours. It saw some sub zero degree days pushing snow and lots of other winter farm chores. This is equivalent to an FL1-A Motorcraft Filter, and was replaced by an oversized Hastings LF426, which is equivalent to a Motorcraft...

Pretty boring really, just qualifies the great quality of NAPA Gold Filters. Was in for 4,300 miles with Valvoline Synthetic Maxlife 5W-30, same oil and filter went back in. Car is my wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and has 214k on it. Enjoy.

I know. 3k isn't enough for this filter. BUT... I'm still in a "cleanup" on this engine. This is a 2005 Ford Freestyle that I've put into daily driver duty since I returned my Kia Optima lease. Don't think I need anymore short intervals, the engine is super clean under the valve cover and the...

This is the biggest oil filter in the fleet at work. It's a Wix 57744XD (Xtended Drain) for an International School Bus with a Maxxforce engine. Really just wanted to see inside one of these XD filters, they seem to have a main element and a "bypass" element, the smaller of the two possibly for...

Pretty uneventful perfect Napa Gold 7061 out of my wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3. Right at almost exactly 5k Miles on this and Mobil 5W-20 Annual Protection that I got on clearance for $10 per jug and $2 per quart. I can't go over 5k, sorry. Say what you will. Again, it burned up a half quart...

Out of my wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with 205,XXX miles. Filter has 4,554 miles on it with Valvoline Full Synthetic Maxlife 5W-30. She only took 2 months to put this mileage on, so I went ahead and changed it out while it was tied to the hitch post for more than 5 minutes. In went a NAPA...

As the title says, Wix 51348 with a shade over 5,000 miles on it. This was on a Ford Explorer Interceptor with an EcoBoost V-6. Only thing I really notes was that the media seems brittle, I tore it with very little thumb pressure. Enjoy the pics.

For your viewing pleasure... an OEM Hyundai/Kia 504 Mann/Hummel. I had this on my 2015 Kia Optima lease with Valvoline Synthetic 5w-30 for right at 4,500 miles. This is the last oil change before the lease goes back to the mothership, and I will then start driving my 2005 Ford Freestyle with...

As promised in my other thread about these filters being damaged in shipping, I offer to the collective a dissection of a Ford Racing FL820S. This filter got dropped on it's head hard in transit, and had a big dent. Opening it up confirmed my suspicions of damage. The leaf spring was bent. This...

I think the oil filter forum is appropriate for this question... the question being what should I do... I bought a Ford Racing Performance Parts FL820S oil filter from eBay member mustangsunlimited. $18.95 shipped. Actually a decent price for this filter. First one came in a bubble envelope...

For your consideration and viewing pleasure... one of the HP-3001 filters I had on the shelf. Unfortunately it has a dent in the dome end from shipping, and since I don't use dented filters it went to the knife. I do like that they have incorporated a base end bypass valve in this part number...

They were going to throw out 4 pails of new, unopened ISO 100 and 150 gear oil/hydraulic fluid at work. They are also marked R&O AGMA #3 and #4, respectively. So I do know that these are combination hydraulic oils/gear lubes, and r&o simply is indicative of rust and oxidation additives. That's...

Just bought a 2004 Honda Civic for $500. Pretty decent little car, manual trans, sunroof... went to change the oil and manual transmission fluid and cut the filter open as usual. Put Delo 400 XLE 10w-30 I got for $4 a gallon at Walmart, a Fram PH7317 and Car Quest Full Synthetic 75w-90 in the...

Been using K&N HP filters for a while. Sometimes Wix/NAPA Gold when it’s easier, and sometimes For Racing FL-820S on the Marauder. Cut open an unused HP-3001 that was a “place holder” on the Torino. Pleat spacing is pretty ridiculous, in two spots. I noted the two spots in pen, they are 180...

I use K&N oil and air filters on all of my cars. I sometimes cruise eBay for my particular part numbers, and sometimes get lucky and score a K&N HP series filter that fits my junk for under $10 shipped. This time I found an HP-1004, that fits my Optima and would also work on the wife’s Capri...

Pretty boring really. Super straight clean and solid. Out of my wife's 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe today. Car has 181k on it, no chain or valve noise ever. Has been on M1HM 5-20 for a long time and I converted it over to Valvoline Full Synthetic 5-30 with the same filter. Finally talked her in to my...

Had this on the shelf at home, for a truck I no longer own. It must die so others may live. We stock these Valvoline filters at my dealership for off-brand cars. Some are E-Cores, others are not. This was for a '95 Toyota 4-Runner, sold the truck a while back. I ran one of these for a short...
