From our '20 Hyundai Venue and a lot of highway miles. Not much to report. This filter sat in my draining rig for a couple months so it's pretty dry and that may also account for any odd coloration.
Looks well constructed. Leaving it dry out is great to see what may be lingering on the media. Do you usually put that many miles on in 45 days? Do you plan to stick with 5k drain intervals?
Just shy of 62k. No issues so far - crossing fingers. No oil consumption. "Shifts" good.. of all the parts it's the CVT I'm worried about.
Average milage seems to be about 38.. mid 30s in the hills and low 40s otherwise.
