Pentius PLXL 7317 C&P 5k miles

Max Life ATF jacked up my old Nissan Sentra F04 transmission. It never shifted right again. Shift flare, late upshifts out of low gears when cold, stuff like that.
Had it been changed before? Sounds like it dislodged something that any fluid change would have induced if it was a high mileage transmission that had never been service.

Nope. It was relatively low mileage. Can't remember exactly, but maybe 40k miles?

It seems quite clear to me that the friction characteristics of Max Life is a fair bit different from Nissan Matic-D that is used at the factory.
 
Whip city has a cut open of a Pentius today and a few days ago did a light test on two filters, an Amsoil and a Fram. Both Amsoil and Fram made failed the light test.
The Pentius seems to be a winner as far as looks goes. The TG is interesting as it shows how they used to make the fiber end caps to center the element and adbv. It’s an old TG from 2022.
When I cut a Pentius PLXL4967 it took longer to get through the can. First time I have thought why did they make this can so thick?

Looks good -- thanks for the C&P. I just got a case for my Hondas. I used to like the Fram Ultra and Wix until they started going down in quality.
I received my filters today and Amazon sent me the cheaper PLB7317 instead of the PLXL7317... now I have to hassle with returning them. They offered me a $12 "partial refund" to keep 'em. No thanks. Buyer beware if ordering from Amazon.
