Super Tech 6607 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Another filter from Schwinney. Oil looked kinda rough but filter looks good.

That looks OK for a “big window” Ecore, that’s the kind that could be trouble.

 

[Blagoje]

These are a pretty solid filter for the price.

 

[bullwinkle]

IIRC, made in 2021? I thought the inner cage windows had all changed to the smaller openings a while (several years?) ago? Otherwise it does appear solid.

Less chunky oil than the other filter at least, lol.

Don’t start another chunky vs thin oil debate

Looks excellent

Thought it would be chunky vs smooth. Guess that's Skippy, lol.

Those center core windows aren't big enough to cause any issue. Pleat spacing looks decent too, which is a good thing with an eCore.

Exactly right ^^^^^

I saw 4 maybe 5 levels to that e core.... And that filter is short ... Less than 3 inches in total height. Which would mean that the spaces are really quite close in reality.

To my eye, looks excellent. Worth~ $3. And tight uniform pleating in the small 6607 package equals zero cause for concern with the ecore cage shown here. Interestingly, topic application has never been an ecore until Champ came out with this hybrid design, ecore with metal endcaps. Never a combo valve.

Thanks for c&p.

I just looked into a ecore ACDelco PF46E (production date of the 281st day of 2021), and here's what I see. These openings are about half the size. I'm comfortable in using this filter on my 2004 Silverado 5.3, with a spacing such as this.

That said, these are not the same filter for the same applications. But the openings are clearly smaller on this one.

This filter was the first one that had it's full run after the HPL EC product. Put on about 1000 miles after adding.. taken off 4000-5000 miles after that.

It looks fine to me, nothing out of the ordinary.

Here’s a video of the st3506 cut open. It’s the equivalent of the Pf46e…looks like they’re identical twins

@Skippy722 are you chunky or smooth?

All I’m saying is this cat is my spirit animal.

Why do some Super Tech oil filters have metal end caps, while some have fiber end caps?
