This filter sat for 3 weeks before being cut. It filtered a mix of VWB 5W-20 SM, VWB 5W-30 SM, Smitty SuperS 5W-30 SN, Smitty SuperS 10W-40 SN and a 16 floz bottle of Rislone Engine Treatment concentrate for about 5000 miles. Drive pattern was mostly 11 mile one way commutes in SoCal traffic, with about 1200 miles of long drives.
The ADBV is past it's prime, and there seems to be a minor imperfection at the pleat seam. The pleats were hard to tear despite the apparently thin filtering media.
