Microguard (O'Reilly's) PH7317 clone -Used w/ pics

[92saturnsl2]

This is a Microguard PH7317 clone (too lazy to go outside and read the exact number) that was used in a 2004 Honda Odyssey. This was sort of a break-in run, as prior to the filter's installation, I had the top end of the engine rebuilt (valve job, had top end removed due to bad head gasket). It was in use for about 3k, and looks to have held up reasonably well for the price. The media was thin as could be, and I suspect in a larger (taller) filter, it might have significant deformation, but that's just an educated guess.

Thoughts?

MGL7317...

Almost the same as a Napa proselect. Media is very thin yet I never had one tear on me.

I thought the O'Reilly's Microguard filters were made by Wix? I've used their MGL51334 before in Subarus with no issues.

They were Fram before the switch-over which happened a little over a year ago?
