Are those Fram Pro Series filters still wire-backed? Any date code on them?
I haven't seen the FPS filters on the market in about 10 years. Mine were from 2013.
Siphoning out four quarts of M1 EP/ Redline
(no filter swap, Purolator Boss)
Added four quarts M1 EP 5w30 & Liquimoly Motor Oil Saver

I believe these are wire backed media, but there's no date code on the filter, box or case. Does have a QR code that tries to resolve to framproseries.com but evidently the site no longer exists.

4,085 miles
OCI: first one with 70% on the OLM, 2 months usage

After this run that included 2,800 highway miles, the oil level was down about 1/3 quart. I'm not happy with that.

2021 RAV4 hybrid XSE (or some other letters), 47K, 5.4K OCI
Out and in: 4.5 qts M1 0w16; left Toy filter for next time.
Tire rotation, set psi, fixed rear mud guard with plastic keeper. Front pads getting a little low.
Really nice vehicle. Fun fact: I was lifting the driver side and found the magnetic jack pad for the pinch weld I used during the last tire rotation. Been riding along for 15K miles. Sheesh.

2003 Pontiac Vibe GT (2ZZ-GE Toyota/Yamaha engine), 132K miles, 4.1K OCI
Out: Amazon Basics Euro 0W-40 (3.6 qt) + QS Ultimate Durability API SM 0W-20 (1 qt), Denso filter
In: Amazon Basics Euro 0W-40 (4.1qt) + Valvoline VR1 API SL 10W-30 (.5qt), Purolator TL14477 filter
As part of this service, I replaced the intake camshaft and rocker arms (OEM Toyota), and adjusted valve lash using brand new set of shims shipped from Japan.
AB Euro has 1327 PPM zinc. VR1 has 1400 PPM zinc. Hopefully it will act as a good break-in blend.

Wife traded in the 2021 CX-5 for a 2025 CX-5 Carbon Turbo a couple weeks ago. Getting the factory fill out and running a couple short intervals until she gets to 5000 miles on the vehicle. It will see 5000 mile changes from that point on and I'm going to run this thing exclusively on VRP & Mazda filters. Compared to the non-turbo 2.5 we had, it's a **** snotty daily driver with nice tip in power up on the highway at 75mph.
Out: Factory fill & filter (1471 miles)
