This one had a short run, the OCI was shorter than normal and it was a pinch hitter for the failed MG101-7

One complaint about he Fram filters I saw on youtube was where the cardbard end-cap meets the metal tube, there is no lip to glue to. Its just a but joint of a thin walled tube up to a nearly perfect fitting hole in the cardbard.
Has anyone seen separation issues there?

Once again (we have been around this merry-go-round multiple times over years) please explain in detail how it matters if the center tube does or does not match the end cap holes or if it is glued at all.

The compression marks from the seals of the ADBV and bypass valves are usually visible on the endcap, and you can clearly see it on this example.
I have had Fram ADBV's so firmly stuck to the endcap that removal ripped a few fibers away with it.

Looks just fine to me and I would have no problems using those. Thanks for posting.

All complaints aside, thank you Robert for another great c&p
Great pics, thanks for the C&P!
Filter looks excellent. Oil is a bit dark - am I correct in assuming it was in the engine longer than 1,948 mi?

Thats correct, good seal between the components. No problems here.

You're welcome, it looks good though it is very low mileage. No issues with these IMO.

That is correct for the most part, the linked MG101-7 leaked to I replaced the filter and topped up the lost oil, so aside from the top up the oil had 1948 + 1783 = 3731 which is much less than usual OCI on this car.
As always filter media is drying out. I have an oil sample, but I'm debating if it is worth sending the UOA in light of the situation.
FWIW M1 5/30 EPHM went in with a HAMP filter.

Fram claims it bonds better than to metal … I used TG for years and other makes use fiber end caps …
I never ran any past 7500 … but some have …
Here is the beloved ecore

Farthest I have run a fiber endcap filter was 11k, a Tough Guard TG3600, and it was just fine.

Youtube ? It must be the truth.The outside of the element is the higher pressure area.

Thanks for posting, Robert. I like the TG3614 for my John Deere lawn tractor. They are effective, readily available, and half the price of the smaller OEM filter.
You're welcome Astro_Guy...
I've got one more of these not sure when I will use it, maybe the next run on the Acura. I put a HAMP on the Acura this last time and also a HAMP shortie on the Civic. I got a lot of Honda filters to use...
