Great example of a tried & true filter that was around for many years (RIP OG Ultra). Thanks for sharing!

Could have left it on a couple more times at that OCI level. Does look like an bunch of stuff was caught in that short OCI, so maybe whatever oil you are using is doing some cleaning - ??

The last filter had a lot of chunky stuff (carbon?) in it. The sediment in this filter is all very fine. LINK

How long have you been running M1 0W-40 in it?

How long have you been running M1 0W-40 in it?

It's been about 15k on 0w-40, after 15k of M1 0w-30 AFE, and I believe it was all dealer service before that (almost 110k).

M1 0W-40 claims to have cleaning ability, which is being demonstrated by the chunky carbon stuff you have found in the filter.

Yup, I've seen M1 0W-40 liberate similar material from my own vehicles, not surprising.

Nice-I still can find AAP Titanium FE10060 wire-backed OGs here, just have to look in areas that wouldn't buy a $13 filter.

What does OG stand for? And why RIP the ultra is still around? I know it's not wire backed..

OG = "Original Gang" ... so it means the original wire-backed Ultra in this sense.

He's RIP-ing the "OG Ultra" (the wire backed Ultra) ... not the Ultra in general.

Any oil consumption at all? Kind of wondering why the early change instead of 6 mos. or 5k miles? Thank you.

Not a bit. It was a shortened OCI to have fresh oil for summer road trips (along with other maintenance), especially after finding all the junk in my last filter. LINK

That's my excuse, anyway ... sometimes the sirens' call is irresistible ...

I’ve got this exact filter on my wife’s 2016 Patriot; going to be on there a year in October and have about 6k on the oil and filter when I change it then.
