NAPA PROSELECT 21348 TORE! CUT OPEN

[Mewbs]

Let us know how the Donaldson P551132 holds up. Thinking about putting that or the LF16011 on my car soon when I hit 5K miles in about a week or two.

And some people think the tearing media is now "fixed".

Show us who claimed that. I've never seen anyone say oil filters don't tear anymore.
But here you are making that claim.

There's a perception that it's not much of an issue anymore ... not really the case. In that other thread, I posted up many recent C&Ps showing torn media. Sure, it's not like the heyday Tearogate days, but it's still going on and it's still caused by essentially the same thing ... wide pleat spacing with brittle media that can't take the bending over from oil flow dP.

Yep, lately how many Puro made M1 filters have we saw tearing? Hmmm

Yeah, M+H has a lot of tearing going on lately. Maybe the heydays of torn media is starting up once again based on the way things go in the constantly changing oil filter world.

Yeah I agree with you here on this..

Glad Napa and Advance Auto and O Reillys went with Premium Guard for their branded oil filters…. Big improvement over M&H.

Happy Easter, Adam! One of those wire-backed Synteq Donaldsons you have should clean up the stuff that thing let past…

Great Pics! Hope you all had a great Easter.

Wavy pleats, torn media and made in China?! It's the fatal trifecta!

And others think wavy pleats are just being friendly

And some people have fear of tears , but tears because of waves.

Wavy pleats cause engine damage. Everybody knows that.

They are also responsible for Russian election interference, not everybody knows THAT. You heard it here first.

 

[ZeeOSix]

I heard that torn filters allow better oil flow to the engine so that should actually help engines last longer ... yeah, that's the ticket. Wavy pleats just cause teary eyes and the need for an absorbent towel. But make sure the towel doesn't contain any cellulose fibers.

LoL ... books you seem to know what's on every page.

My mind is like a steel trap.

Keep it oiled up with some good 15W-40 so it doesn't get rusty ... don't use Rotella.

I've got an old Napa virgin filter that I just cut open and it was pre-torn from the factory. Stay tuned.
