How does the Pentius replacement compare? This CP looks amazing as usual.

What is the Gritty looking stuff and the base plate and how much was the filter?

Pentius PLXL 7317 99%@20 microns 10,000 mile filter. Very well built. Almost if not identical to PG built XL filters.

Grit is from my hacksaw. Price is $9.99 but I got mine during the 40% off sale.

To add this filter was covered in salt and road grime from the winter. Canister held up great!

How do you like the flat gasket compared to the p shaped ones?

Good pics! Just picked up a few, hence the desire to find pics of them to give me peace of mind

They both work great. Honestly I have no preference between the two.

I like the flat gaskets better. A P-gasket style allows the filter's base to contact and potentially mar the filter seat.

Thanks for the info! I’m unfamiliar with the p style. Do you just tighten until base plate meets oil filter housing or just as tight as you can with your hands?

Just until it meets housing.

I prefer the P-style as I believe it provides better or more consistent sealing. It's similar to an O-ring, less drag on contact and probably higher compression. I'm sure there's a study out there somewhere.

Hard to say it may have more compression since the amount of compression is controlled by where the filter bottoms out on the seat.
