You both do a great job, amongst others. That filter looks really solid. Very nice pleat spacing and uniformity especially after ~10k. What material is that ADBV?

I agree, it is a really nice filter for an OEM. I believe it to be Silicone: It was very pliable...

Here is a Virgin one:

How much does that oil cost at the dealer?

It was about $11.00 over the retail counter. List is $12.30 presently and you can buy them online in the $9.25 range from reputable sources.

Edit, oh sorry the oil, it is about $7.50 ltr

That's a lot cheaper than I would have guessed. Too bad I still have 13 jugs of Valvoline in the basement...

I want one of those filters just because of the white ADV.

Also looks to be an encore.

I get what you are saying, it has a plastic center tube, but that is where the similarity ends...

It wouldn't deter me either way.

Agree never had a problem with an E-Core.

This media has a mesh insert similar to a Boss...
