OEM Hyunda (Mahle) C&P, 5,200 miles

[blupupher]

Here is the OEM (Mahle made) Hyundai filter from my 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe.
35,098 miles on vehicle, 5,200 miles/9 months on filter.

Looks great overall, but I am still finding tiny bits of orange stuff in the media. I am guessing it is gasket material, but thought it would all be broken loose and filtered out by now.

At least the orange stuff is probably soft RTV sealant and won't hurt the oil pump.

Looks great. Most likely just gasket material. It's only when you see a lot where one should be concerned. But that's nothing.

Looks very good. Thanks for all your hard work.

I am not overly concerned with the orange bits.
There is less of it than previous filters, and never was that much to begin with, plus seems very soft.
Just odd to still be seeing some after 35,000 miles.
