This Fram TG3614 was on my 3mz Highlander for 24months and 8526miles with 3 oil change intervals.
Initially put on with SuperTech Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 and ran that for 10months and 4213miles.
Next was Pennzoil Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 for about a month but only ran for 630miles due to a very dusty offroad trip and a discovery that the WIX air filter that I installed let dust right thru (i blame the plastic 'seal' vs the AC delco Gold that has a soft seal thats replaced it and has been perfect since).
I immediately did a quick oil change with Napa 5w30 Synthetic and ran that for the last 4213miles.
There is one rust bubble under the coating. Silicone ADBV feels fantastic and pliable. Media looks great other then right at the crimp seam...there is a slight tear in the media at the base but does not appear to bypass the filter and I cannot get light to show thru...yet. I am currently wicking and will investigate further after xmas. I will add those photos to this thread.
Total Quartz Synthetic 5w30 and a Champ XL PH2835XL went on.
