NEW TOUGH GUARD 4386 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

So, pretty soon or in less than two weeks I'll be running either Mobil 1 0w30 in the ole Camry or Super Tech High Mileage 10W30. I'll probably use one of the Bosch D+ filters Subierubyroo sent me. Had this filter for while so I thought I would cut it open.

Enjoy the pictures

Looks good. No vehicle to use it on? Thanks for the C&P.

This filter and the 4967 both fit a 2AZ-FE engine. I just thought I would cut it open to see what it looked like. Little wide pleat spacing but otherwise a service able filter

Thanks. Do you have a running total of number of filters cut and posted here?

JC1: I stopped counting after so many

It has been a lot though

Well, if the search here did not suck, it would be pretty easy to find out, but since it only limits to 100 found posts at a time, a few quick searches show easily over 250 filters in the past 2 years have been posted.

I'd rather see some of those NG 1516s run for 20k and C&P'd than a new TG!

If I can ever get off my work-laden heinie and get your care package in the mail, I can help you increase that number by about 10 filters

Last week took me from Muncie IN to Chicago to Fresno CA to Yosemite (El Capitan) to LeMoore to Fresno to LAX to Chicago to Michigan City IN, then back to Muncie. 6200 miles in 6 days!

Which size D+?

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

I sent Adam two or three D+, I think one crossed to a 3614 size and the other one was one size smaller. I don't remember the D+ numbers offhand.

Agreed. Thanks for all the work.

Just put a TG 9688 on my car earlier today. Good, solid filter.

I have a 3422. One is longer than a 4967, and other is 4967 size

Thanks for the C&P Adam.

Filter looks fine.

Goodness !! That's logging lots of miles in a week
Apparently your a semi long haul driver

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Nah, no semi here. About 4600 of it was on a plane. But there was about 1600 miles done split between my trusty Impreza and a rental Maxima SL while out in Cali. Which is good because it gets me closer to the midway point of my Fram Ultra vs. Microgreen particle count test on AMSOIL Signature Series 10w30!

This one looks ok. Tough is not a word I would use to describe these things though. More like Barely enough guard.

LOL and were would that leave some other filters they are 99+ % at 20 microns. Probably 50% of the filters on the market can't make that claim.
