PREMIUM GUARD KIA/HYUNDAI CLONE 8k cut open

[53' Stude]

Didn’t see part # on can. But filter looks like typical Premium Guard quality. Was off friends 2019 KIA Forte for 8k. First run was Delvac esp 5w40 for 4k, 2nd run was Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 for 4k. Looks good to me.

In/on: another one of the same filters, he got them off eBay he said. And some more Mobil 1 ESP 0w30. 68k on car.

Thank you sir. Looks good other than a bit too much glue.

Thanks for the c&p!

Thanks for the c&p!

You are welcome sir. Have a NAPA PROFORMER I’ll cut later today or tomorrow

Oil filter blowing bubbles (glue).
Did well for 8k

 

[walterjay]

Looks good. Tell him to keep up the 4K oc.

They're really making sure this filter doesn't pull a chumps lab or oh mann a hummel and have its pleats let oil pass through from a poorly or outright non glued cap.

Thanks for the pics,
I like the coil spring and centre tube with holes.

I've been happy using Mann W811/80 filters, cut a few, never seen an issue, and thou I didn't find efficiency info for the filter I think they are on par with that PG rated at 30 micron. Interestingly, PG4459EX filter has 42-60 micron rating, lower burst pressure and lower flow rate.

Thanks for the cut and post Adam. Nice sturdy filter again from PG..

I don’t think the flow rate, etc matters as they hold up to a normal OCI. Build quality is solid too

Yeah, a bit of excess glue is sloppy and mildly annoying. But not enough glue? That’s a far more serious problem.

All the cool kids are going that way lately, lol. Boycott closed down louvers and leaky leaf springs.

The Mann is closer to between 99@38 to 50 micron but they are using ISO 16889.. The 4459EX is 99%@25 ISO-4548-12 with a higher burst pressure of 450psi vs the Mann 203 according to their catalog. The PG flow rate might be lower but that is to be expected because it has a higher efficiency than the Mann. The PGEX also probably has a lower flow rate than their own basic filters.

ISO 16889 is for hydraulic filters, but essentially uses the same equipment and methodology as ISO 4548-12. So I wouldn't expect any real difference in the resulting efficiency measurement.

yeah I was wondering about that because I think that is the only company that I have seen reference that for an oil filter.

Not according to this from Amazon
Also references ISO in second pic

I was taking numbers from manufacturer site, Amazon can claim all they want.

It was confirmed by I believe @Glenda W. with a phone call to Premium Guard that the info on their website was backwards. This was pointed out in a thread or two here.

Good to know! I'd generally trust a manufacturer over Amazon thou.
