SuperTech ST10060 - 7,000kms Valvoline Restore and Protect

[webfors]

Got these at upstate NY Walmart. I have 12060's on the shelf too and decided to use the 10060's for a couple of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 intervals.

2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0T, 158,000kms ODO, 7,000km interval (OLM 28%). I also ran a bottle of Redline SI1 cleaner through it midway through the interval. This interval also included towing a small utility trailer of tools/supplies (estimated 1000 LBs) 2,000kms to the east coast.

These filters are well built, pleating and bonding was good. The seam is a little wide, like most filters, but the bond at the seam was strong and there were no sign of media under duress.

I have a history with what in the old days we called 'ecores' where I had a couple blowouts due to poor media retention at the seam. These have no signs of any of that stress like I witnessed on those older 'ecores'. Well made IMO.

Another 10060 went on the 2014 ATS, with another interval of Restore and Protect 5w30. Then it's on to the 12060's on the self waiting. Most folks know this already. But I'll mention it to be thorough. The 12060 has the higher bypass spec from Cadillac, and the colour of the valve is yellow versus orange. Other than that, they are identical in design/build.

Looks good those super tech seem to do fine from my experience with them.

Love those ATS & CTS's! How is it doing for you?
Ripples not too bad on that one. Looks like it did a great job.

Media is probably better now (more synthetic) & the "Windows" on the ecores are smaller than originally.

Very well attached. No sign of detachment and when pulled on, they did not just rip off with no pressure.

I love our two ATS's. We also have a 2017 that has over 163,000kms. Just something about how balanced the car is, a real joy to drive. Both need stronger rear sway bars if you're going to use all that power and braking. I have a ZZPerformance front/rear sway bar and tower brace going in the 2014 to stiffen up the old chassis. Going on 12 years old and still delivering grins.
