MIGHTY T 9509 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good Morning BITOGERS. This filter was on my porch in a cardboard box wrapped real well. All was wrote was “4,200 miles with unknown bulk 5w20”. I’m guessing it’s for a XG 3614 app like some fords or….


Shame that this piece of filth is cheap and Made in Mexico; haha, yeah quality isn’t a priority.

Money shot of the 2 at least I saw 2 tears

Yup, another Pece of garbage “jobber filter”

If I was sourcing those as a re-seller and saw that, I'd be looking suppliers from China instead.

As sad and unfortunate as that statement is.

Even the made in Vietnam and China Pennzoil filters were using now are better.

It "could have" torn after removal but we may never know for sure. Thanks for the post.

I’m not that stupid to tear a oil filter media for kicks. Shoddy manufacturing caused the tears

Let me and BITOG see “evidence” that a filter/media tears AFTER removal. Didn’t think so

I'm not implying that at all just to be clear. You mentioned it was left on your porch so I assumed it might of bounced around and possibly damaged. If you're confident that never happened then I agree it's a crappy filter that should have never torn at that mileage. Thanks

The chances of this happening are like me seeing god

Agreed, since I don't follow any gods or religion. Once I'm dead I'm dead just like this torn filter.

IMO it’s odd that someone even thinks the filter was messed up after removal. All filters I get mailed to me none have been dented, destroyed. Obviously folks take my advice on how to package them and ship to me

Just a dumb mechanics thoughts

A little internet searching shows that Mighty of Peachtree Corners, GA, is currently owned by Gonher Group, a firm in Mexico.
Gonher just happens to make "OE Quality" (their words, NOT mine) automotive filters in Mexico... which Mighty acts as a distributor for in the US.

I think I've seen enough here.... LOL. Apparently, this thing was a Gonher brand filter.

Woof. This is like the morning after a night on the town with cheap tequila…. I’d chew my own arm off to get away from this one.

Is Gonher pronounced like goner?

 

[mrsilv04]

And guess who else Mighty is in bed with?

JIFFY LUBE franchises.

So... guess what filters you get at one of those Jiffy Lubes? ... "Mighty" filters!

Mighty last?... No, Mighty not. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I'm having way too much fun with this trainwreck.

Highly doubt it ... and bet a filter could be thrown against a wall a dozen times and the media inside isn't going to tear. Wide pleat spacing and delta-p bending the pleats sideways was the cause.

No evidence that will happen either, lol. Will have to wait and see.

Unless I’m losing it; think I took off a black mighty filter that was ECORE. Was off a 20’ Ram with 6.4 HEMI. Auto extra 57060 went on with Service Pro 0w40


I crushed it instead of curing it apart but was made 3 months ago so….
