In my previous thread, I C&P'd an Amsoil EAO24. Made in Mexico, full synthetic media, wire mesh, silicone ADBV, etc. This thread is a post-use inspection for another EAO24 I had on hand, after having it been on the dyno in my 565. For whatever it's worth, the oil pump is a high volume pump.
Don't mind the metal flakes, the engine was being broken in and also had a bigger valvetrain installed. Some of the pleats got wavy, and the mesh stitching held up. I did toy around with the pleats around the stitching just to make sure nothing came apart, so that did make that particular area look extra wavy. Overall, it held up well in my racing engine, and I like the 99% at 20 micron rating. I wouldn't recommend it just because it costs so much. I have a stockpile of other filters being used.
