[fantastic]

Looks great & even the Valvoline looks like a nice lighter color.

You are welcome. I need to get a filter cutter. The old hacksaw really did a number on it.

Bonus pics. Seems to no longer have a rubber gasket between end cap and bypass valve.

Honestly I didn’t think they ever had one. Maybe I’m dumb

I think that’s felt or a resin but I can’t say honestly. Don’t look like any rubber I ever saw. ZeeOSix may know. I’m just saying what I know

It was a dense fiber gasket, not rubber. Weird that this is an OG and no more base plate gasket for the leaf spring. Another cost cutter along the way it seems. Or maybe it's just an OG Titanium thing.

Lots of Longacre style filter cutters on eBay for $20 - $25 with free shipping.

Zee: do the Fram endurance use that fiber gasket? I haven’t paid attention. I Thank You

Don't see it on the Endurance either. The Ultra he's showing is an OG, and it does have the end cap gasket at time 6:08.

Here's a new non-wire backed Ultra he inspected, and the new Ultras don't have the end cap gasket either - cost cutting move probably the driver.

I’m afraid so…

hey, i’m a hand model now.

but for OG titanium’s it’s a toss up on if they got the leaf spring gasket. i’ve cut 3 so far and only one filter had the gasket. when 12k miles is up on the woman’s car i’ll cut it open. same OG 3593a went on it.
