Blue Print ADS72101 cut open

[ChristianReske]

BLUE PRINT is a company located in England, specialized into distribution of service parts for Korean and Japanese cars. They are now part of the german Bilstein - Febi group. To my knowledge, they dont manufacture the parts by themself, instead they source them worldwide.

This is the ADS 72101. Unknown country of manufacturing. The ADBV is little bit lacking, in my opinion. It is thin but still a little bit stiff and needs a little moment to get back to its original shape when you knead it. Metall bypass valve. The diamter of the Bypass valve is 16 mm / 0.63 ". Inner tube of the Filter is a spiral.

Have any idea how old the filter is? If the ADBV acts like that when new, wonder how it would hold up under use.

Is there any date code stamped on the can? Might give clues to COO & age.

Thanks for the hint. The can is stamped 1304 2020. Reads 13. April 2020 for me.

Whats the fitment?

Looks very Chinese filterish to me similar to Denso... tapping plate looks kinda line Mahle-Tennex Honda filter (but nothing else does)

Interesting

The fitment is mostly a lot of Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda and Subaru.
