Not FULL SYNTHETIC a syn blend folks, turn the lights off, it's over. lol, jjk. (reason being, it has synthetic media and the oil, imo, should be FULL SYN. And by that I mean elite BITOG type sht. So what I am gleaning is this TG could do better with better base stocks etc et al of full synthetics coarsening thru its veins.
It doesn't matter cuz it held up well, either way. Way to go, little TOUGH GUARD, put in work and show em. This puts the onus on FU though.
C'mon, Bro, you know the TG is synthetic BLEND media, which makes it a perfect match for synthetic BLEND MaxLife. Maybe the blending percentages didn't match, that's why it had that pleat distortion! I'm still not a huge fan of these, and the Extra Guard or Ecore, in a long OCI-there's just too much happening to the pleats over time, although this one did decent.
