Came off of a 2016-ish Infiniti QX60 with the 3.5 liter engine, 105,000 or so miles. Vehicle backstory was that it had been dragged out of a snowbank and had been sitting; We did some brake work, and had to replace a rear lower control arm that whomever did the pulling turned into an S, as well...

Pulled this out of a friend's 2011 Equinox with the 2.4 and about 175K on the clock. Came in with a complaint of random hard starts, start and stall, and stalling at stoplights. It had only sat for about 10 minutes before I brought it in, but rattled on startup like it was struggling to build...

Came off of my 60k mile 2018 Sonata with the Theta II marshmallow engine. Filter has 4k miles on it, topped off with a BG EPR service to help correct some minor oil consumption. Filter is remarkably unremarkable; no excessive pleat spacing or other issues that I could see. Partsmaster 5w40 full...

Pulled this out of a mid 20-teens Cadillac CTS with a 3.6 liter V-6. Vehicle actually came in for a check engine light and had variable cam timing performance codes for bank 2, had to break the news to him that the most likely culprit is pieces of the filter getting upstream into the engine and...

Came off of a 2011 Impala with a 3.5. This thing is nasty, and rivals the 21085 I posted a few months ago for number of tears, although I'd guess this one was in service longer. Unfortunately I can't determine how long it was in service, the only thing I have to go on is Carfax, which lists it's...

Came off of my daughter's 2011 Sonata 2.4, has right at 2000 miles on it after 6 months. Goes about a mile and a half at a time, so never gets warm, hence the short OCI. Filter looks good, no tears or other problems that I can see. The black junk is all soot, at first I thought the inside of the...

Came off of a 2007 Durango, had Mobil Special 5w20 for oil. Filter had 8300 miles on it since last LOF 2 years ago. Torn in 8 separate spots that I can see, tried to get pics of the most obvious ones.

Came off of a customer's 2012 Kia Rio with a 1.6 and about 82K miles, came in knocking. Oil and filter had around 9500 miles on it by the sticker. Full when it came in, but ultra black. We suspect it didn't get checked and topped off until after it started making noise, and of course by then it...

Came off of a new-to-us 2018 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4 GDI and 37,000 miles, unknown oil. Probably somebody's bulk 5w20. Has less than 1000 miles on it, but didn't have a sticker in it when we bought it, so had no idea of mileage until I pulled it. That being said, it was an ex-rental, and...

Pulled this off of my 11 Sonata 2.4 GDI over the weekend, has 4200 miles on Castrol Edge 5w40. Replaced it with Edge 0w40 and a Hastings LF565. Filter seems solidly built, media isn't brittle and has no tears. Got it fron my local NAPA as I wanted to dissect it after use. Worst thing about them...
