Some quick pictures of a Purolator Premium Plus used for +4 Years/+40K Miles on a Chevy Gen I 350. Sorry for the ________ pictures, I'm short for time. I may redo them in the next couple of days.

I'd say that the inblock bypass valve has been in use for most of those 4 years.
If you manage to talk this owner into Auto-Rx ..I'd surely recommend multiple filter changes during all phases.
(visions of someone who managed to pull a table cloth out from under the settings ..while the rest of the dining room was destroyed)
..and the media is still intact!!!

Yes, I'm short for time, so I didn't dismantle the media, but it looks intact. Feels fossilized with minor probing.

I really think that this is the all time worst filter that we've seen here on BITOG. Now lubeowner had some skanky Warners that ruptured ..but I don't think any of them matched this for down right ugly.
Do you feel like Quincy ..except maybe in "Cold Case Files"? I think your forensic evidence is post vitus syntus. At least the subject is still alive.

Well, we can probably take for granted that it wasn't Manny, Moe, and Jack (the original Pep Boys).
Whoa, I wonder what the underside of the valve cover looks like?
This filter didn't have a ADBV. Unless you want to consider the 1/8" inch of sludge I scraped off the base plate on the side facing the engine an ADBV.

Fascinating
WOw
,,that poor engine.
Yuck man, yuck.
Looks like some moisture in the mix maybe as well?
Strawberries at 2 for 6.OO seems a bit high. Seedless Grapes at 97 cents is pretty good, though. 8`)
Not really, just shiny black asphalt-like goo.
Any idea what the interior engine parts looked like?
