I taught my brother in law who hasn't held a wrench in his hand in his whole life to change the oil in his car. The first time I was helping him along but the second time he did it all on his own. You should have seen him acting like a kid in the candy store after he did it. I enjoyed just seeing him smiling from ear to ear and exclaiming "Wow, I changed the oil in my car!"
Even though I don't have my tools and my filter cutter with me, being an oil freak I just couldn't let an oil filter go to waste without cutting it open. So between a wire cutter and a utility knife I had to improvise something to make it happen.
This filter came out of a 2011 Honda Accord, about 175k miles on it. He doesn't know how many miles on this filter, he just changed it when the oil life went down to 0%. He thought it was 5k miles, but I believe it is much more than that. Anybody knows how many miles a Honda Accord would take to show 0%?
The filter was made in 2023, so no wire backing, but it held up pretty good. There was no metal in it, but some carbon in the bottom, and it looks like the media is pretty loaded if you compare the clean with the dirty side. Louvers were nice and open.
Out: This filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20.
In: Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 and a Fram Titanium 7317.
Enjoy.
