Hard drive oil filters by peak

[jhellwig]

I ordered a bunch of filters from rock auto and got these under a ultra power wix number. I will post pics later. They say they are 100% synthetic media. Looks kinda Chinese ish but box says printed and made in the USA. The gasket is more oringish rather than the standard square. Adbv looks as though it might be synthetic. The shape of the can is unlike any I have ever seen. They are fully shrink wrapped not just on the base plate.

Anyone ever heard of these?

What's the part number?

I found an ad from 99 in popular mechanics. They make some far fetched claims.

Found info in the minimopar thing. He claims they are made by Donaldson and were long discontinued when that thing was done.

Looks like '96 instead of '99.
So those filters could be 20 years old? I also suspect they are Asian-made filters, even if they are labeled American-made.

Where is RA digging this ancient stock up? Even if they are syn media, these are beyond super old!

Looks like the gasket is even turning grey.

I wouldnt use them, but hey..

I'd think somewhere on that filter there may be a manufacture date code, if found and posted might be able to decode. Afaik, Peak/Old World been out of the filter selling biz for quite awhile. Seems I remember some jobber tier from Old World posted here being closed out a Lowes some time back.

Another RA 'Gump' closeout filter. Never know what you're going to get.

Returning the compliment, that one's not too bad either.

Now I have to run one out of spite. I was going to use a pure one pre louvers but these might be less of a risk.

I just ran a 15 year old ac delco the time before last so I ain't scared.

 

[jhellwig]

One of them wasn't shrink wrapped. DC6347 09:07 is the date code. The code is on the dome of the can in black ink.

Here's my guess on this one. 347th day 2006, unless it's 10 years prior.

Hopefully not the latter.

I would use those without even thinking about it.

I thought it came with hard drive magnets.....

I put one of those on a Pontiac V-8 in the mid-to-late nineties. I think it was from Summit Racing. The gasket is an O-ring instead of the normal flat-faced gasket, right?

The selling point for me back then was wire-backed media to go with a high-pressure oil pump.
