Supertech 9688 C&P off 320k mile Honda

2003 Honda Odyssey w/ 320k miles, 5k OCI with ST 5w-20 full syn. Leaf spring pretty ruffled. Nitrile ADBV was pliable, March 2025 production date with the Champ E-core design.

Can anyone weigh in on if this filter looks concerningly loaded for 5k? had a bit more in the pleats than i expected for an engine that's gotten 5k OCIs since new.

A fantastic use case for Restore & Protect imho…

Agreed. It doesn't really burn oil, but it has had exclusively Supertech since 2003! Went back in with M1 Advanced Clean, and have some clearance oil to get through before jumping to VRP.

Put a PG EX filter on. Would y'all run it for 2 OCI's or is this engine producing too much carbon?

Looks to me like the Supertech is already doing a fine job of cleaning. Maybe they changed to formula.

Let the media dry out and I am sure some members will tell you how to dry the media out. Once the media is dry you will get a better idea of what is going on.
