2x FRAM Titanium (OG Ultra media) FS2 C&P

[OVERKILL]

These are the last two filters off my 2019 RAM 1500, both run for extended drain intervals.

Filter 1 on the right, Filter 2 (most recent) is on the left. Don't mind the cat hair!

I am very pleased to note what Dave at @High Performance Lubricants said would happen, regarding the silt that showed up when I first started running their oils, tapering off after a few OCI's, has happened.

Filter 1: 22,124km (13,747 miles)

Note the silt (though considerably less than the previous run) still present in the bottom of the filter:

Good pleat spacing on this one:

No ruffles:

The OG Ultra sure were awesome filters.

What were the date codes on them, and did they both have the fiber leaf spring seal?

What's with the blue base gasket on the one on the right?

 

[OVERKILL]

Filter 2: 19,733km (12,262 miles)

Basically zero silt now:

Pleat spacing on this one was a bit janky:

Also no ruffles:

Very pleased with the performance of both filters. Unfortunately, this is the last of my Titaniums, so I'm now into my last two EaO's and then into my stash of OG Ultra's.

No idea on the date codes, they are in the trash now. Yes, both have the fibre leaf spring seal:

^^^ How many months will the media be wicking out?

Thanks Adam!

Thanks Adam!

Luckily I stockpiled some FS wire backed Titanium’s at my AAP.

@OVERKILL: your Ram engine must be fairly clean now. I’m surprised with the Dakota as thought there was more silt and gunk to be purged.

Yes, judging by the lack of silt in this most recent filter, I'm guessing it's about as clean as it can be.

I’m anxious to see your grand Cherokee SRT fikter autopsies soon.

That's next up on the chopping block, the last filter off the Jeep.

Can’t wait to see it

Very nice! Thanks

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy I managed to horde these into my prepper stash. Truely a relic of its time and continue to be when some of us cut these open again in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I figure I have about 5 years of them at the rate I'm going currently, a bit depressing. Would like to find more, may scope out Canadian Tire again, that's where I got the last group of the OG Ultras.

I forget what the OG box looks like? Distinguishing features?

I’m sure I’m not only member that remembers these.
