SERVICE PRO M 4620 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

This oil filter and Safety Kleen Synthetic 0w20 was in and on a 2021 Nissan Pathfinder (old body style I like) for 14,788 miles. One of our “boss” vehicles so they just gas and go, doubt they ever check/add oil.

Put a PZ-37 oil filter on and more Safety Kleen 0w20 in. Told her to try to stick to 5k OCI. Inspected the vehicle, it didn’t need anything also. Looks fairly decent for Made in China. The nitrile ADBV was rock hard. Took effort to bend it.

Respectable looking for 14K.

Oil looks pretty dirty, expected at the OCI mileage.

Thankyou for the pics and informative comments..

"The nitrile ADBV was rock hard. Took effort to bend it."

Most BITOG types (including myself) prefer silicone ADBV, but I thought the nitrile ones usually did their job well and that silicone or nitrile didn't really matter for the most part. Looks like silicone vs nitrile does matter sometimes.

^^^ That's why filters rated for longer OCIs use a silicone ADBV.

Back when I used QS3600s on my brother's old 3E 1.5 '87 Tercel, nitrile ADBVs were rock hard & non-functioning inside of 3000 miles! Switched to silicone ADBV FL-400S ones, no more trouble. It can make a difference.
