PRO TEC #115 CUT OPEN, 1400~ MILES!!

[53' Stude]

So this filter was put on by yours truly after my brother and I did a head gasket on a 2011' 4cyl Avenger. Oil used was Quaker State Advanced Durability 5w20 also. Not too shabby, and another Quaker State Conventional SM 5w20 load and a FRAM TG-10060 went back on. Enjoy the photos

Good looking Wix

Thanks and I see you have a "'are by WIX" I.e. Parts Master on your Silverado Chevybadger

 

[53' Stude]

Made by**

 

[WiskyBadger]

Yes on both vehicles. The Microgard on the Impala is also a Wix. Wix made for filters are a awesome value imo.

 

[53' Stude]

Yeah, I got the Pro TEC for like $1.79

That does look very good Captain. Does look like that the Wix construction build is stout with this filter. I'm glad to learn that Microgard are made by Wix also. Ohh and I talked with a very nice guy at Carquest yesterday and he told me that the Carquest filters are going to start being made by Baldwin... I was like this is news to me as I had heard the Carquest red and blues were made by Champion Lab..

Nice low cost oil filter.

I would buy cases of ProTech if I could find them for $1.79 each.

Nice filter. 1.4K mi?

 

[53' Stude]

Dyusik: please take a gander at title. 1,400 MILES, put on after doing a head gasket on a 11' Avenger. Sorry if I confused you or anyone else here. Went to 1,400~ miles and changed oil again to Quaker State Conventional SM 5w20 from "the stash" and now car has 49,565 on it and 3,790 on that fill

car51,

You've cut and posted about 100 oil filters, keep up the good work. I noticed your photography is getting better compared to your early work.

 

[53' Stude]

Thank you Mr. Nice and thanks for the compliment. I do my best

Better and better cutting and picturing, practice makes perfect. I know it's an old issue but I can't get excited about the metal to metal oil seal on the base. For a low cost option seems to work though. One thing I would like to see more of in pictures is the actual adbv mounted on the element and baseplate as it would exist inside the can. To see how it may flow oil.
