Ecogard S4651 from my 2019 Grand Cherokee 5.7L V8 with 71,000 miles. The filter was on for 3,000 miles with Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30. It was my first run with this oil and lots of short trips. Same oil and filter went back in. Filter looks good and pleats looked pretty clean.

Nice!

I like these filters so much I'm on my 2nd 12 pack of Ecogard X2500's (blue painted, non-synthetic) for the GM vehicles in my sig. I run them for my typical 4-5K mile OCIs and cut open to examine every one. They're built well and very consistent. I've been running nothing but Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w30 for a few years now. The 1.5 GDI turbo in my Equinox always winds up with some carbon dust in the bottom of the filter.
