Everything looked good from what I could see. I pushed apart every pleat, I did not see any tears or separation.

What's that tan crud in pics 3 + 4? Looks like something settled out.

Looks good. Any reason why you went to Napa oil and filter for the next oci?

Metal dust. I just used a die grinder at work to cut it open.

I picked up the Napa full syn oil for $2.99 per qt on sale. I got the Wix XP filter for "free" from a gift card. This vehicle sees nothing but short trips. I am gong to do short OCI and leave the filter for two OCI.

Does anyone know how to decipher that date code (or whatever it is) on the end?
