S7317XL STP C&P

[Lonzbera]

2011 2.4 Mitsubishi Lancer for 5 months ~ 7,300 miles~. Used with STP 0W-20. Some wavy pleats there. I’ve used this oil filter 2-3 times already but I don’t remember if the base of the threads looked that rough on the previous ones.

PXL57356 & Kirkland 0W-20 went back in.

Looks good and minor wavy pleats. Thanks for posting.

Wavy pleats mean the filter was happy to be removed from service
Looks good...

Wavy pleats mean moisture/possible winter driving.

Yup and other issues

As far as waves go I consider these very minor. Not surfable

The way the basement plate metal reacted to being drilled and threaded is indicative of cheap Chinese steel . The hardness is not correct so it rips and tears and doesn't leave a clean edge. Take my word for this observation , I've dealt with it many times and it was always Chinese steel . No consistency .

Not wavy pleat paranoia and beauty contests again, lol.

The way the basement plate ...

"Basement plate" ... new term for base plate?

I've seen worse base plate manufacturing on Purolators ... the "ADBV shark bite" kind.

The MOPAR no -090 was lil wavy

Those pleats seem wayy too consistently, evenly wavy. Looks more like manufacturing wave. Regardless looks fine

Another thing to look for. I never saw anything as bad as that one. It looks like this is an after picture. There is no possibility of a before pic to compare what chunks were there at the beginning. Maybe with a little mirror or borescope.
