Good Day folks. Another gem from sequiaSoon. Looks ok for not wire backed. Even spread media out.

More media lyes out.
Looks OK. Guessing maybe some winter condensation on that one? For the money, could do better…
I use those filters (most of the time). Someone more knowledgeable, please tell me what's learned from the photos?
looks good 
Wavy media often means it absorbed moisture from the oil-possibly short trips or not reaching full temperature. No tears seen, ADBV looks good, did OK. I’m just of the opinion that a $9 (or more) filter should look better.
$7.62 Amazon Subscribe & Save! I signed up a few years ago, and they keep coming. Too many, actually. Every time I see a new thread here about filters, someone says to run, don't walk, and buy XYZ filter, so, of course, I do. Ha ha. Ignorance is bliss, and I've yet to experience a "bad filter". Hope my engine feels the same way!
Why I have lots of OG ultra’s and 7 donaldsons in stash. Won’t touch a “endurance” even if you paid me.
What's wrong with endurance?
2017 Accord 2.4L 6MT, 4612 on oil, 111k on motor.
I think that is from my Accord and came off in October. It has been sitting in my garage which is not heated but insulated and part of my house. Daily driver about 50 miles round trip, 1/2 local 2 lane roads, 1/2 highway plus longer 1.5 hour drives to mom and others.
Leaf spring seems to let oil pass through unfiltered.
Too many issues with dealing on adbv and ends. Plus way too expensive for what it is. My OG ULTRAS I paid less than $4 for
They cost 3 to 4 more dollars but are still less filter than the OG Ultra was, and they leak at the bypass as a bonus feature.
Exactly right. I can get a CarQuest premium cheaper too with work accountThey cost 3 to 4 more dollars but are still less filter than the OG Ultra was, and they leak at the bypass as a bonus feature.
Thanks for the cut & post Adam. As always, good job...
