DURAMAX D0500 CUT OPEN

Good evening bitogers

Off a friends 2017 Chevy Tahoe that had this filter and Service Pro 0w20 oil for 4,xxx miles. Torn as we can all see and have not seen any of these filters torn before. Put a Auto Extra 618-10255 back on along with Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 he supplied.

Who makes this one?
Kinda looks like a Frampion (kind of like the Carquest Red from 3-4 years ago), or a Wix???

edit, Well, a coil spring means not a Frampion, so Wix or some made in China filter?

Made in China is all can said

LOL, I made my edit to add the made in China option and you posted this.

So probably one of several China manufacturers, which is odd since usually the MIC filters are decent and not common to see tears in them.

Yeah, I have cut these and Eco Guards and Parts plus filters open and none I have saw tore so.....

I think these may be distributed by Reladyne-they sell the DuraMax oil to a lot of c-stores around here, the company is based here in Cincinnati. Not sure who is making filters for them, but that one was pretty bad.

At ~4k miles, simply put, this one looks like made in China garbage.

Thanks for c&p.

Couldn't have stated it better and you are welcome

Thank you for the c&p Sir. Nice pictures as always.

Thanks as always for these cut and posts.

For only 4K that filter is horrible. I wonder what filter media they are using? Obviously inferior.

You folks are welcome

This is the filter I put back on. Bought a few from our vendor we use at work
