XG7317 C&P 8k miles 2008 CRV

[nwjones18]

Filter was run for nearly a year an 8k miles on 2008 CRV. Looked good to me. Nice straight media (not an OG Ultra) Anti-drain back valve was soft and
pliable. Was replaced with Supertech MP7317 and Chevron SynBlend 5w-30.

Do you know the date code of said filter?

Thanks for the C&P.

Wow ??

Inquiring minds want to know?

Looks good to me!

Here's the date code. Leaf spring looked fine to me.

How many miles on the CRV at this point?

Get us a picture of the baffle plate through fill port.

That's how zee communicates. Loaded up on caffeine. Everything is a surprise.

You mean the leaf spring in the end cap, or talking about the louvers in the center tube. Every thread has some new terminology going on ... what's a "baffle plate" and a "fill port" on an oil filter?

Made 142nd day of 2023. I see some ruffles in that leaf spring.

It had the look, but was smooth to the touch for whatever that’s worth.

I come here to conversate with the many great folks here.
Sorry no names come to mind, and I will have to get back to you on that.
And I get to slap a young boy around on here with impunity.
Other than the above I come here mostly to hit the WOW button.

@Zee09 should have been manufacturing world class oil filters....not gun parts.

Sadly he missed his calling.

Its got 161k on it. Relatively low. Sadly the filter has made its way to the bottom of the trashcan now and isn't coming back.. haha

Sorry not clear before. The low flow baffle plate area through fill port in valve cover gasket.

Did you get the CRV new? do you know history of oil brand/version and OCI?

My daughters '08 is at 243k, my sister bought new and had mostly dealer or independent shop changes at MM intervals. We got it from her in July '20 with 208k. As of last bunch of changes the baffle plate and I presume other areas are slowly getting cleaned up with HPL EC30 and now 1 qt of HPL PCMO 5W-30 mixed with variety of full syn oils. It doesn't burn or leak any oil.

This is about 20k miles between them.

Aww. I've been maintaining it for the past 11 years and 100k. Been doing annual changes (7-10k) with either synthetic or syn-blend 5w-30 that whole time. Its got a golden hue under the valve cover but looking good. No doubt it would make it to 300k, but I doubt the wife is going to want to keep driving a car that's 20 years old.. haha

Good to hear all is well. Golden hue is no issue from all I know.

Off oil topic -Did you have the trailing arm recall done on it? How is underneath for rust?

Crazy that even at the years/mileage the money for it at least on AWD up here. My daughters lists trade in for about $2600 and private party about $5k if you find someone willing to pay that. A nice southern, non rusting, lower mileage could be more.

My daughter hopes nothing happens to hers, she loves it.

I haven't bothered to get the recall done as the vehicle has zero rust underneath.. It is eligible for it though (guess it was sold up north).
