Endcaps from the HPL filter:

Although there appeared to be a few sparkling flakes on the media they must've been mostly non-ferrous/grit as my magnet wasn't able to pick much of anything up. There wasn't much of a noticeable difference between the two filters.

Thanks these look great! I may try the FE 11665 on my Jeep and do a particle count vs the canister Endurance with the leaking leaf spring.

Correction: I stated crimped seam, but I don’t think that’s what this is. Maybe “bonded”?

That would be a good exposé on the leakers!

I've been using the TG11955 on my F-150. They always look good.

Held up for the 5k. Good breakdown of parts.

I know that it probably doesn't matter, but I have Endurance 9972 Toyota filters, and these are made in Mexico. I've always been curious how the filter media compares between the same line of filters which happen to be made in different countries/factories. Are they actually all identical and meet the same specs? Just a thought.
