BG109, MOA & Varnish Removal

Here are some photos:

This photo is indictative of the rest of the media from the Purolator PureOne PL14670: No chunks or globs were found anywhere. When I held it up to the Sun, it was completely opaque:

This one zooms in a bit and when looking at the media, I can see tiny specs, pieces of debris. I'm assuming this is the 'dirty' side of the filter media, as I saw no debris on the opposite side.

This shows the color of the oil at 5000 mi. Previously it would have been opaque black, long before now. No black debris at all.

********
Being the original fill from 5000 mi ago, with no oil added, I expect the next oil change to be cleaner at 5000 mi than this since this fill is doing the 'removal' of anything loosened/dissolved by the 109 & MOA & PP-detergent action.


Due to the problems I encountered with posting the photos, the filter media dried out more and the tiny black spots of captured junk show up better:

I'll have another look at the filter since this last photo was taken to see what else might be present. Hopefully these photos will remain longer than a day!

Didn't realize I hadn't previously answered your question!

My mechanic has one of these. It generates smoke, like a fog machine I think, and he can inject it into the intake system or fuel tank with a little pressure, to easily find vacuum leaks, loose caps, rotten vac lines & elbows, gasket leaks, etc. Much easier this way, particularly with a turbo car, than trying to listen, squirt water, etc.
