Good afternoon BITOG faithful
So, good friend of mine bought this 2015 Chevy Traverse with 60,xxx miles on it. Unknown OCI history. This Prime Guard filter according to the windshield sticker was installed last October when the vehicle had 48,000 miles on it. Obvious to see why it tore and the endcap fell off. I am driving vehicle every so often and I snagged a 12pack of Parts Plus PH 500 filters for it. I'm using M1 5w30 and we are doing 2-3k oci's. I changed this filter out 2 months ago and decided to post. Vehicle now has 71,500 miles on it.
I don't think I have ever witnessed this much sludge either in a vehicle. Vehicle runs well also as we changed spark plugs and cleaned both cylinder heads up good. No coolant in the oil either
