VALVOLINE VO-39 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

This was off friends 2019 KIA FORTE that had Valvoline blend 5w30 for 4,200k on it. Sees 60/40 city-highway driving as friend has 3 jobs and is always on road. Looks good. Put on a Prime Guard filter he supplied and some Mobil super 5k 10w30 from Rural King.

Good looking filter. Nice evenly spaced straight pleats. Thanks for the C&P.

I've been trying to figure out who is making Valvoline quick lube, indie shop OFs. Think I got it. Looks like a Prime Guard filter. So either PG or whoever makes these OFs for PG. As for coo, coil spring likely China. Linked is equivalent PG POF 4459 by 53', baseplate design similarity including #20, and other features.

Thanks for c&p.

That’s what I thought too, Prime Guard or Premium Guard. Different from the Champ combo valve ones they normally use, but it held up pretty well!

Adding to my last, I said made by "either PG or whoever makes these OFs for PG". I'll say most likely the latter choice, because more recently saw PGs with Champ Labs construction.
