PENNZOIL PZ-21 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Off the lady’s 2019 Ford Fusion with 1.5 4 cylinder. Judging by oil change sticker it had almost 4,800 miles on it. Done at local mom and pop Pennzoil place; they say all spin on filters look like this now. Made in China of “domestic and imported materials”.

put Fram ultra and Mobil 1 5w30 in and on.

I’ve cut hundreds open. Some have been good, some torn as well

Back and forth between Fram and Purolator for decades.

Yup! I know about all Pennzoil filters I cut open and posted were Puro made too. Ones that tore had 3-4K on them also

Who made the newest Pennzoil filters you've autopsied? I'm not sure who is making them now.

That looks identical to the new microgard mgl51348 that’s made in China

The auto extra filters we use at work all look like this PZ-21 construction also

I assume they’re all 93% at 30 microns or larger
