Car/engine has 180k on it, this filter being on the car for 11k. Oil used was Castrol Edge Black 5w30
Date code F07E25D1
New oil is PP 5w30, and the filter was replaced by another P1 (sorry, but I like the Pureone textured grip, and I got it at a great price, Purolator's synthetic filter was out of stock, and the Fram Ultra rebate was over). Planned OCI is 9k.
Unfortunately, this Purolator suffered from the common media tears at both the top and bottom near where the metal seam is.
Also, there was oil at the seam where the can and the baseplate thing meet. I did NOT cut the filter at the seam this time. I cut it a little above that, near where the red thing is, and the used needle nose pliers to pull it off. The ADBV was still soft and pliable.
I try to take pictures with the flash off to avoid the flash hiding things or the reflection looking like a problem, but sometimes it causes slow shutter speeds and I don't have image stabilization.
