Wix 57060 - 9,000 miles Cut Open - Jeep Patriot

[Nick1994]

Cut open the Wix filter I put on my mom's 2012 Jeep Patriot 2.0L last August or September. Has around 9,000 miles on it. Used Castrol GTX SynBlend, let it go a little too far for my taste. 59,700 miles on the car.

The other week the dealer had it and changed the oil pan gasket, so it got new oil but they didn't change the filter. About 100 miles on the new oil with this filter. Replaced with Quaker State Advanced Durability 5w20 & a MicroGaurd filter for a short change, maybe 2-3k miles. Got the Quaker State a couple months ago at Kmart on clearance for $2.00 for the jug.

The chunks in the filter are grainy when I touched them, they aren't solid. They're also magnetic...

It literally caught rocks! LOL j/k. Did you just do an intake gasket or something? Maybe it's old RTV?

Looks like the filter held up well for that long run!

Dealer did oil pan gasket and timing chain cover gasket and left the old filter on, 100 miles later I changed the oil.

So maybe it is sealer? That's kind of a lot. How hard is it to drop the pan on those? Might want to check the sump.
