All,
Take a look at the junk in my Canton filter after running RL 5w-20 for 11,000 miles in my '02 Suburban.

RL 5w-20 from 60,000 - 80,000. Not nearly as much cleaning from 60,000 - 70,000 though...

Cleaning...
Is it on Redline since brand new? With all that, wouldn't a shorter OCI be in order?
Looks like the Redline stays a nice color of amber though.
How long have you been running the Canton filter?

About 50,000
It would be interesting to see a "UOA" of that "junk" dissolved in an oil sample.
Stupid me doesn't know what a Canton filter is.......can someone elaborate? Perhaps a bypass?

100 dollar oil filter I will pass. Thanks may I have an another.
Quote:I believe it's a secondary by-pass filter that is permanent addition to your engine, with a role of toilet paper placed in as the filter element. Some swear by them.

Canton filters are not bypass or TP based.
I like these! You could do oversize, they're synthetic media, the can is SUPER durable, maybe road-debris bulletproof.
The elements are replaceable, ultra-high capacity.
What's not to like? 
None for a Hyundai, though 
None for a Hyundai, though It looks like gel. Did you feel any grit in that stuff?

Yes, it's extrememly gritty - all carbonaceous material.

This may be a bit off topic....
I have a 4 year old Toro mower that never used a drop of oil until this year when I went from bagging to mulching. I always used Pennzoil 10W30 and after the switch to mulching it started using oil (About 1/2 way down the stick every 3 mowings). I switched to Redline 10W30 and the oil level never budged from full (12-15 mowings). I just changed the oil the other day and discovered lots black flakes in the oil pan just like in your filter wwillson though my oil was a bit darker in color. I also noticed the engine ran smoother the last 2 or three mowings. I am sold on Redline/Ester based oils... Now if I could only get it cheaper.....
