Fram Endurance FE7317 C&P 28,000 mi oci

[mt23]

Oil filter off my friends 2012 Honda Odyssey with 295k miles. I think the filter looks great. Mobil 1 0w40 28,000 mile oci. 3.75 quarts top off. Will post uoa when it comes in. M1 0w40 and another FE7317 went back in/on.

Any gap between the end cap and the leaf spring?

Take a flashlight and shine into filter.
See if light passes underneath bypass.
If you can do that, please take pics
Thanks

Looks fantastic!. I’d love to see a UOA.

Quite the run! Structure of the pleats look great. I am interested if you could put it through the flashlight test to check the leaf spring against the end cap seal.

@mt23 would you be willing to cut the paper off the end caps and take a few pictures of it stretched out? We would like to see what the filter caught.

Your friend is getting his money's worth on that filter. Will wait for UOA.

Mobil 1 0w40 28,000 mile oci. 3.75 quarts top off.

He actually ran the oil for 28,000 miles? The top off oil volume probably helped, but still.

That is 7K mi oil consumption rate.

Thanks for the c&p. Looks great!

 

[mt23]

Well I'll be jiggered.

Wicking has started. Will update in a week

Yes he did. Link to some previous uoas on the van here

My friends 2012 Odyssey. He drives 50-70k per year mostly rural and highway. His name is Kazu, the unit ID is Kazu Van, which is why it shows in comment section

Been using Mobil 1 0w40 the past few oil changes. This oci was with the api SP version and one of the quarts of top off may have been SN. Van had an ignition coil failure out of town and may have contributed to the uptick in iron blackstone noted. It was also 1.5 quarts low at time of oil change. He does not check the oil, I'm usually able to check it for him when our schedules fit.

The van does not have VCM disabled. Van had a...

In my observation of recent FE c&p anecdotes, one of the better/best looking bypass piece seal areas. And yet.......

Element itself looks fine. How long of time wise to reach 28k miles?

Thanks for c&p.

 

[Glenda W.]

Leaf spring looks much better than most. Also a much smaller gap. These seem to be getting very inconsistent quality wise.

 

[ZeeOSix]

Leaf spring looks smooth, but not flat based on the gap still seen. It needs to be both smooth and flat for a decent metal-to-metal seal.

This is the main reason he can put 28K miles on an OCI: "My friends 2012 Odyssey. He drives 50-70k per year mostly rural and highway."

Low number of start-up and short trips, and lots of continuous driving at operating temperature in this case. He probably put 28K miles on it in around 6 months.

There are gaps in ALL FE and similar filters.
To date there have been ZERO non leakers passing this test. Go ahead and “assume” that those particle tests (Endurance..Amsoil ..and RP) by BR escaped this flaw. It’s called DENIAL.
I anticipate the response will now be be…they were “minimal leakers” lol.
BR results show they are still SUPERIOR in spite of the “leak hysteria”.

Interested to see the UOA, but may not be able to extrapolate much from that without context and concrete info from a single run as opposed to a trend that was already established.

Maybe not too late to get particle counts.
