“Pentius 7317 oil filter. This is brand new. I purchased a case of these on Amazon, 12 for $19 and curious to see the quality.

looks serviceable. the glue was sloppy and flakey but otherwise looks good. nitrile ADBV was a little stiff already. love the heavy duty coil spring. the can jumped off the base plate when cut apart.

do you remember if this was China or S. Korea ?

Looks pretty good, especially for the money!

 

[SC Maintenance]

Looks good. Thanks for the C&P.

Was there a date code? Wondering about the already stiff ADBV?

Look forward to seeing one after use.

Those are some pretty squared edge pleats. Looks relatively decent but I do not think that is a Premium Guard made filter. I picked up a case of Pentius PLB3614 filters I have yet to try but outward appearances look to be the same construction as this one. Looks like a decent jobber filter regardless.

definitely serviceable, very good jobber filter at that.

Thanks for the C&P.

This filter was made in China.

Decent filter for under $2

Fun timing! I ordered a single one of these a few days ago. It is still sitting in "Order received" limbo while everything else shipped.

I already got my hands on the Pentius PLB4615P which is nearly the same form factor, yet it has wildly different inlet holes compared to this posted one.

The difference between This and a plxl7317 is what?
A silicone adbv?

Different media as well.
