This is a Carquest Red (Wix made, same as O'Reilly Microgard, Walmart Supertech, and NAPA Pro-Select filter) from my brother-in-laws '04 F150 5.4.
159,500 miles on the truck, 3500 miles (7 months) on the filter, used 6 qts Castrol GTX Syn-Blend and 1 qt PP, all 5w-20. 1 qt makeup oil during this time.
Here is the Purepro filter from the last change with a little history on the truck.
Yup, a R85372:
and Affina made:
Baseplate:
Inside:
Centertube (nice spiral holes there):
Combo valve:
Other side of combo valve (a little stiff, but very pliable)
Metal crimp, solid from one side to the other.
And no pics of media spacing, I just flaked out and forgot to take them, but as is normal for Wix, nice even spacing all around (you can kind of see it in the last 2 pics).
Here is a Fram made model just for comparison. These filters are now made by Purolator, I don't have any of those.
And just FYI, I put on a Bosch Distance Plus Filter and used 6 qts of 5w-20 Castrol GTX Syn-Blend/ 1 qt Castrol Magnatec.
