5 year old 21K mile Fram Ultra.

[UncleDave]

This filter has been on my truck just over 5 years and 21K miles.
ADBV still pliable and intact.
Can came right off. Only very mildly crushed during removal. It was put on hand tight 5 years ago.
Still wet but pleats look almost empty. Couple ugly pleats but nothing torn or moving.
Mags definitely caught some stuff.

Sump was 2500 miles of SN + HPL cleaner.
Unlike my Honda I see almost no residue in the can.


No reason not to keep trusting my old school stash to this kind of mileage and age.

 

[MSCH]

alright...

 

[UncleDave]

I should mention it had 4 OCI's in 21K.

 

[Oliveoil2]

Really impressive! Looks like it could go longer.

 

[JavierH19]

Not bad for the mileage. Thanks for the c&p.

 

[UncleDave]

Forgot to put in the "full dome" shot,
Only thing in there is a cut piece of metal from the opening.

 

[KCJeep]

Wish I had stashed some of those.

Just more evidence that the " ... or one year; whichever comes first" FCI manta is bunk; not unlike the one year OCI limit.

So this had an oil filter magnet on the side of the can?

Correct.

 

[Oliveoil2]

I ran one for 25k+ on a great Honda Fit and it looked the same. Could have gone longer.

 

[fantastic]

Correct.

I've always wondered what was better if a person had to choose between the two. A filter with or without a magnet & what the results would be. I suppose the magnet could do a better job at the smaller stuff while the filter takes care of the larger debris. Just a thought. Anyways, Do you plan to run another Ultra? Do you still have some wire backed Ultra's? My stash of filters are 6-7 years old & they'll be older than that by the time I go through them & they aren't near the quality of the Ultra's so you're in good shape.

The magnet is apparently good for between 1-3 ISO code drops. If this is true thats notable.

Happy with it keeping whatever ferrous material under the filters threshold out of my chain.

I put another 7317 back on.

Yeah I have about 8 wire backed ultras left, but I have three vehicles that use the same filter.

My 5.6L titan
My 3.5L Honda
My 1000 polaris turbo RZR

 

[UncleDave]

Just recounted - 10 left...

Don't rub it in . Those are tiny filters, they look smaller than the 4967.

 

[Zee09]

Those were the days.
I have some 7317s and some 4967s myself. I will use them sparingly. Nice write up. Thanks.

 

[Enthusiast]

Amazing! Hopefully they will Revive this product line.

Don't rub it in . Those are tiny assed filters, they look smaller than the 4967.

Dinky.

It's very strange to me to spin that on a 5.6, but this mill puts out almost nothing in the way of contamination - even towing extensively.
