I bought 7 Ultra Power 51342's from Rock Auto as a clear gamble. I was searching for XG3600's and then this came up. They were $.82 cents each. After opening I'm unsure if I would run this in an actual automobile. OPE I think might be a yes, I like to work on riding mowers and other things. I'm soliciting judgement as others are better at this than myself.
Enough talk, onto the photos and commentary.
It came in a box labelled Super Auto. It says 99% efficiency but no micron anywhere. I found 3 or 4 other threads of Super Auto's, 1 looked like a sludge car, the others were not super excited. One Youtube video however was somewhat impressed.
Plastic covering, nice. Seen that on OEM and a few others. Oil change sticker, nice and a rare find.
Part number. Their stamper needs a little maintenance.
Oh dear. I aint tapping that. Neither did they! Thankfully bought 7 and only 1 was "unfinished." Maybe they knew I was going to sacrifice one for science.
Chicago Electric working great and tossing sparks. I'll stop my commentary here because you folks are better then me, but I will page @53' Stude because he has gracefully cut open many for the community. Appreciate you very much for the data.
Here is my amateur questions:
1) is the waviness a concern? Have seen several used filters cut open that were wavy. This one is wavy out of the box.
2) What kind of media is this?
3) I took the louvers photo in direct sunlight and can see no sunlight, but I do see clearly lighter spots.
Enjoy and happy Saturday.
