FRAM XG7317 - 25,872km - 1 year

[webfors]

This filter ran two OCIs with approximately 1000km past each OLM change notification (Negative ~8-9%). This filter was put on last spring around the same time and was on for a total of 25,872km, or 16,170 miles.

Filter was in perfect condition, as was the adbv, bypass & spring, etc.

Oil was M1 0w20 for both OCIs in the 2015 Civic in signature.

Looks a lot better that the TG7317 I just cut open with only 4000 miles. Went with the XG this time.

The most important photo is the inside of the canister. Too bad so many posters don't include it. It's always instructive as to how much gunk and dirt it trapped. Photos of the media don't show that much. Especially with synthetic media.

It was a pretty boring. No debris, dark golden oil was all. I suspect the depth media of the XG trapped it well.

The Ultra is pretty hard to get & spread out the media, the wire backing is pretty hard on the fingers! The XG7317 is my go-to for my brother's '02 Altima 2.5, he is lucky if he brings it over for an oil change before it makes 12K, I use PP, Synpower, QSUD, or whatever full synthetic I have laying around. The filter always looks brand new, except for darker media & carbon in the bottom of the can. Drama free, my favorite!
