This is off my brother in laws 2004 F150.
Filter has around 4000 miles/9 months on it, 168,700 miles on the truck.
This truck has had an issue with a lot of debris in the filter, something bad is going on inside it.
The last filter was also a D3410.
One before that was a CQ Red (Wix made)
Before that was a Pureplus filter.
This one looks similar to those. I was kind of hoping it would get better since the truck is running right and getting regular changes, but I guess the damage is done (and continuing).
Filter:
Looks like made June 29, 2016:
Base plate with added magnets:
Silicone ADV, nice and pliable:
Nice open louvers:
Intact media with good spacing:
Lots of debris inside can:
Debris in pan:
I have not cut open the media yet, it is wrapped in paper towels drying more, so will be cutting and posting it up later. I am sure it will not look good.
I have told him again he really needs to get rid of this thing before it dies on him, but he is not concerned.
I also have a cheap action camera that I decided to record the process with:
And what went in:
I used a TG2 filter, and I know the jugs are QS, but it was actually more of the Castrol GTX HM 5w-20 (I had a eco pack of it that started leaking, so I put it in the jugs).
