Changed the oil in the wife's Lancer this AM. Just over 6,000 miles, oil was probably PP 5W-30. Off came a Fram TG7317 filter which I cut open. Nothing exciting to report. As much as the mechanical engineer in me hates the glued cardboard end caps, they clearly do fine in this application. ADBV was very supple and marked "Parker." Very nice.
The filter was replaced with a Fram Ultra and four quarts of Maxlife high mileage synthetic 5W-30. (car has 136,000 miles on it)
Got to admit...the last few Frams I've cut open have looked really good...while the last few Purolators were torn...
thanks,
ben
