FVP R7356-XL C&P

[jlmilli]

My first post.
Recently bought used ‘24 Nissan Armada.
Filter seems small for a 5.6.
Went down the oil filter rabbit hole on this and a few other forums.
Out of curiosity, I bought a few to open up and look at.
Planning to do 5k OCI’s
Louvers don’t look fully open to me.
I like the base end bypass.
Date appears to read 11/30/2021
Not sure if they’re still being made with base end bypass.
I have some others I can post.
Some have been done here already.
Tips on better pics/posts appreciated.

Welcome. Great first post!! Thanks for the c&p. I believe you’re correct as at least 50% of the louvers don’t appear to be formed well. I wouldn’t be comfortable running that.

Not a fan of louvers but a well made filter probably equal to a Wix or microgaurd

Thanks for the responses.
Will post some others when I get to them.

Asking the same. Some of that brands filters are out of China.

Looks like made in USA right under date code
Hard to see but nearly impossible to get a photo of

That appears to be older WIX one. I’d bet USA
