SuperTech ST3600 4,100 miles/6.5 Months Cut

[Virtuoso]

Here we have a wonderful specimen of a SuperTech ST3600 e-core filter. It was used for two OCI's totaling 4,100 miles over 6.5 months.

No problems to report. Media measured out at 200 sq in.

The filter did it's job. You got your $3 worth. ST's are not a bad filter - especially for the price and your under 5k mile use. More than 5k miles and I'd probably want a different filter like a Bosch, Wix, Pure 1 and so forth.

Not bad.

Good photos. Impressed how good the e-core held up. Super Tech has yet to show me a bad product. Excellent value filters and amazingly low wear numbers from their oil. Woo Woo Woo you know it.

Thanks for the pictures, it seems there is still a lot of fear out there for the E-tech design. Not warranted, it's a much better design than Fram.

Looks like it got the job done. For ST $2.84 or less I'd take the previous posted Quaker State filter or a Puro Classic. Not a fan of ecore nitrile combo valve design.
