Good Korning. The gf must be like me or crazy, little off and loving and caring. She got these off eBay for $1.29 each. Circa 2001. Interesting, says they use Teflon.

Yes sir! Blast from the past. They tried the whole high mileage oil filter additives too as you well know. That shrink wrap helped to preserve those really well but still would love to hear your thoughts on the ADBV bend test unless you plan to use them first? Kuddo's to the G/F for having a good eye on a historic piece. The Honeywell days. I must say this brand has been passed around the table. At least your not running a new Ultra. 😅

Thanks for sharing Adam!!!!

I think I’ll just crush the other filter. Not wild on that pleat spacing.

@ZeeOSix: box says 2001 Honeywell. They hoth were sealed well in plastic wrap stuff too.

The 2001 on the box is just the copyright of the box design and everything is says on the box. The filter has a date code of 86th day of 2004 like the one also in your other thread.

Good to know Zee. Think I’ll just crush it though way other one looked.
 
....I still remember the FRAM HM with the black “goop” that slowly released from filter into engine.
Since mentioned, the HM "goop basket" was promoted as mitigating total acid number, TAN. It was said to have been derived from the long haul diesel industry. However, their ocis much longer than 5k miles for which the orange can rated at the time. The HM was removed from the shelves at WM, then showed up at RA to close out ~2017-18. Unlike the topic DG, doubtful it did any harm, but no benefit either.

As for topic 3614, in my observation of application anecdotes, pleat spacing on them not noted for being the best. Looking at the virgin DG c&p relatively speaking didn't look that bad. That said, fwiw understand not wanting to use the other DG.

Yeah, my old co worker that I have breakfast with on Fridays still; he uses those FRAM HM in his 09’ Silverado with 4.3. Don’t know why
