SuperTech MP7317 - 12,000kms - C&P

Does the bypass valve just sit on the metal end with no gasket of any kind?

Think the only Fram that uses a gasket on the leaf spring now is the Fram racing filter. The OG Ultra and Titanium was the only other ones before that, and they no longer use the gasket - it was removed from design a few years ago.

Came off a 2012 Mistu Lancer GT, 2.4 Mivec, with 257,000kms on the odometer. Filter was put on at 245,000 with SuperTech 5w30 conventional.

Summary

: Very impressed with the build quality of this filter. Excellent pleating, strong bonding, perfect seals on the ADBV and bypass valves. Centre core is spaced for media integrity, centre seam on the media is tightly pleated. The silicone ADBV valve is what you would expect on high end filters, very pliable, sealed perfectly on the metal end caps.

Quite honestly one of the better filters I've opened in a while.
