20k runs on XGs looked great, no noticable particles. Just dark from oil. Those have more structural support than TGs though.How did previous filters off the same engine look? Any structural issues, or visible particles captured?
I would probably have a heart attack if I went over 7.5K miles on an OCI.Hello friends and Merry Christmas! Coming up on a 10k oil change on a 2014 4runner. Love the 4.0 but changing the filter is truly a pain on this vehicle. Cartridge application under a skid plate that halfway hangs in the way. I put a TG on last time instead of an XG (20k rated) due to the latter being out of stock. TG is "rated" for 15k but have seen a 30k run on a canister here. My question is would you go 20k on a cartridge tough guard? Should I run one for additional 10k? This is a well maintained very clean engine. Supplying some pics of a new one for reference.

Like a 6.6qt sump and using top notch synthetics helped me lolI would probably have a heart attack if I went over 7.5K miles on an OCI.
Eh depends. If it’s just a 4Runner, not that worried.I would probably have a heart attack if I went over 7.5K miles on an OCI.
Errrrr ... what is that in reference to?I can't seem to find the country of Korea on a map. It's either North or South...I doubt the State Dept references Korea.
Why ... because of the slight wave in the pleats? Nothing to worry about.Update:
I went 10k and pulled it. Glad I didn't go 20k looking at it.

Well lol, maybe I will run the new one 20k . I know I'd rather do that with the skid plate removals I just did to swap the filter.Why ... because of the slight wave in the pleats? Nothing to worry about.
Looks fine to me.Update:

Yeah it is fine for 10k. My comment was more of a notion that I'm not sure it would go 20k.Looks fine to me.
My comment was that it looks fine for 10k which translates to you could have likely pushed it furtherYeah it is fine for 10k. My comment was more of a notion that I'm not sure it would go 20k.
