Taken off my wife’s XT6 with 5,000 miles and a diet of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30. This is the filter called out by name in the manual, and it is all I’ve ever run. It looked great inside, drain back valve was still nice and pliable.
I wasn’t clean at all cutting this guy open. I dropped the parts into a dirty old baking pan I keep in the garage. Who knows that is on them??? Everything was clean when I cut them open.
