AUTO EXTRA 618-10255 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

This filter and Safety Kleen 5w30 DEXOS 1 GEN 3 oil was off a female boss’s 2021 Chevrolet Traverse AWD. Filter and oil was on for 10,xxxx miles. Shame media tore at metal crimp seam. Total garbage. Put a PZ-173 and more Safety Kleen 5w30 oil in and on. The boss’s where I work don’t follow proper OCI’s as this vehicle usually is due for PM (oil change) at 6,500 miles.

Victim of too wide of pleat spacing + delta-p ... did I say delta-p again, lol.

Thanks for the C&P sir.

This filter isn't something I'd use. It's the one thing that i get worried about wide pleats. It gives more surface area for the flow to push and tear.

I think the “louvers” should and could be made more open.

Horrible example of a filter.
Thanks for showing us.

I’m just glad work stopped buying this filter number. The 57502 I posted pics of other day i should have few ready soon for cut and pist

The construction of that doesn't look to be a long drain filter anyway. It most likely would have been fine with the 6500 miles. Happy to hear your repair garage stopped using them. Better to try a different manufacturer.

Definitely not a 10k mi. filter. As noted, might have 'survived' at a more reasonable 6500 mi or less. Still, poor pleat spacing around seam pleat. Curios, what is the COO of this AE filter? Does appear to be some variant of an M&H Wix type oil filter.

Thanks for c&p.

Yeah, thought so. Been seeing some poor looking OF anecdotes with that coo. Mighty and Bosch Premium being two other recent examples I've seen. Guess appropriate to say, 'no bueno'.

I tried having the boss go with Super Tech filters but I never got answer back. I doubt Super Tech has fikter # for the WIX 10332 for new Toyota Camry and rav4
