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 M1 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 M1 ESP 0w30. 68k on car.

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

 

[Glenda W.]

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.
