Off of a 2021 Ford Ranger 2.3 for 6~ months, 6900~ miles. Ran with Total Quartz 9000 Future 5W-30.
A MSL51348 & Total Quartz 9000 Future 5W-30 went back in.

This is the same vehicle with the crappy FL-910-S & the crappier new FL-910-S with the bad threads. The Titanium is what I could get in a pinch, not bad, I might stick with the MicroGard or try the Endurance next.

Sorry I tried to grab the canister but I think it’s long gone now. I didn’t realize these had the date code on the side, I thought I had a picture of it.

Yeah, date code is on the side of the can. Not shown in any of your photos. I was curious because many of the non-wire backed Ultras/Titaniums that look worse in the wavy pleat department were pretty old filters per date code. So this one didn't look too bad and wondering if there a correlation between date code and condition after use.
 
Interested in trying this filter, curious on the marketing of it - is this filter more "designed" with racing in mind? It seems to flow better than the ultra, with decent filtration and a more fixed pressure for the bypass. They don't make the ultra I used to use (xg3593a) but I'd like to try the titanium

I don't think that is true. Same Bypass as the Ultra as far as I understand. And flow is just a gimmick, probably makes no difference.

the bypass listed was a specific psi (12) vs some ultras listed at 8-14. i assumed that was related to the bypass/spring not being as "stringent" or high pressure as on the titanium. if not, i dont see any real difference between the ultra and titanium

Of all the Ultras vs Titaniums in the same model that I've compared, the bypass valve PSI rating was shown to be the same. Doesn't mean ever single on follows that, but you can only compare the same model in both lines to have an accurate comparison of the bypass valve setting. Also, it might be that the bypass setting was changed when the media design was changed ... I've never looked into it to verify.

Titanium and Ultra in the 3614 model ... same bypass setting.

got it, thanks for looking into that.
what then is the difference between titanium and ultra?

The can color/texture and the base plate holes. The media guts should be identical.
