The Ecogard S4615 isn't green anymore

[slacktide_bitog]

The S4615 is now black, like some other Ecogard Synthetic filters. However, the black one is mildly textured, like the Fram Endurance, for example.

Date code is 25MRS04A 10417

The grippy paint is nice, but the green ones are so cool

Still, for $6 I can't complain too much. It's a fair price for a Subaru-specific filter that can go 10k.

I think all those Extended Ecogards have been transitioning to black for a while.. this one from March

Any hockey fans here? This makes me think of the Dallas Stars and all their uniform charges

The S11574 doesn't even have a silicone gasket.

 

[Fair enough]

Have they started to make these with synthetic media now?

I'm not sure, I've yet to cut one.

The S4615 never had the red gasket, and it's possible most of them didn't have it

This is my first ecogard, I first thought they all had it.
