I do not remember how many miles the filter had on it, unfortunately. I took it off of my sister's 2001 Ford Windstar after noticing that she topped it off with nasty looking old oil, so I wanted to get it changed ASAP. I think it had around 2,500-3,000 miles on it, maybe? It suddenly consumed about 2 quarts of oil out of the blue. After this oil change, it threw a rod and thus ended the Windstar's life. I suspect it was the head gasket that went (again).
No pleat tears to be found. The only issue I had was how wavy the pleats were around the seam. The ADBV was soft and pliable. The can was very thin and only took me about 30 seconds to cut through with my Dremel.
I should note that this filter had a date code "E" (2013)
