Purolator Boss C&P on Ford 4.6L 1500 miles on HPL 5w-20 PCMO

Long time lurker, first post. Just got on the HPL train thanks to this site and here is the first filter off one of two vehicles. It is a Ford Explorer Sport trac with 209k on the clock, 1500 miles on a PBL24651 filter. Interesting carbon gunk in the pleats.

A little history: Bought the truck at 175K, Previous owner changed every 7500k with "whatever was on sale at Autozone." I ran Kirkland Signature 5w-20 in it up until know, when I switched to HPL PCMO 5w-20 in this and my 2014 Outback.

That's a Purolator Boss and 1500 miles into my first run of HPL. Prior fill was Kirkland 5w-20.

Very typical to find small carbonaceous debris in filters when using HPL; its cleaning agents really scrub an engine well.
This looks like I would expect it to be.
Welcome to the site.

Thanks! Its pretty exciting. I'll post up my Subaru FB2.5 C&P on the filter after 2500 miles, pretty boring compared to this!
