Valvoline VO-10060 Cut Open

[autoapprentice]

I received this filter for “free” when I ordered motor oil from Valvoline Global. I am sad it didn’t go on my Explorer, it actually looks pretty good! I was surprised to see a silicone adbv. The louvers look great. It’s shorter than the Motorcraft FL-500S. Would that be much of an issue?

Enjoy!

Shame on Valvoline for sending you incorrect oil filter. Pictures are great, thank you sir.

No issues if filter was slightly shorter than FL-500S.

If I’m not mistaken that’s the same filter that goes on the 6.4 Hemi in the Ram 2500’s and it has a lot of different applications.

Looks great, wonder what the efficiency is?

I assume he said that because he wanted to cut it up instead

Agreed. I was going to say comparable to a Super Tech MP series until a saw comment about louvers and looked closer. I'd now say more comparable to the Champ XL which has (or did) metal core with louvers. In a well-maintained vehicle, somewhat shorter filter wouldn't be an issue. There's many vehicles coming out of quick lubes with consolidated downsized application filters. And, vast majority of those have a nitrile adbv, not silicone here. If it screwed on and just a downsize from the the OE, I'd run the topic filter.

As for efficiency, if like many similar Champ Labs, 99%@30um. Not sure what the XL is, but could be higher. Either way, again, I'd use it.

Thanks for c&p. Decent filter as a "free" add on oil filter.

Champ Filter. Looks good. Valvoline name sells a lot of filters I'm sure.

Don't like the baseplate design and sloppy stamping and perforations that subject the adbv to tearing - like fram. Media containment is traditional - though too small a surface area.

Looks pretty good, definitely a rebranded SuperTech MP from Champ Labs.

That's a WIX, not a Fram like Acro said in post #10.

Oh, ok I understand what you were looking for now. A Fram with those issues.

Yeah, I don't recall any Frams "tearing ADBVs".

 

[fantastic]

Ha ha... Right! They have a good QC. What I've seen is some of the worst known oil filter makers, at one point, go out & outdo themselves over time & end up being a high quality product. I think Fram fits that description.

For the date code, 101520AF 0824, does that translate to 10/15/2020????? Nice and old if that's the case!

I would say yes.
