I saw that. S4610 $11.64, so currently more than Amazon pricing.

Picture 2 above
Nobody mentioned it but that is not a cut on the ADBV. I just saw it myself and checked but it was a very fine paint sliver from cutting the can. The ADBV is on perfect order.

sort of like this ? .. this guy is actually funny with his terminology but looks like he did what you described.

No just grab it without peeling anything and crush the center with your grip and it pops loose. But I will say mine has hard center tube unlike his. Is that another new improvement?
ah.. ok , it was that easy ?

My last Fram EG had very easy to tear media.

Yes but I guess that depends on ones strength. You have to grip it hard and squeeze it with effort but compared to the S241 it was easy as the same pressure did nothing to the s241

I need to get around more. I never heard of this guy.

It would appear he hasn't read your book either.. that's covered on page 26.^^^ Guy doesn't even understand why it doesn't have a bypass valve. No filter "expert".
The physics of a cylinder have radically different force results from an equal pressure on the inside vs squeezing ramdomly from the outside.
somehow they seem to survive without.
turning to “mush”.
We’ve seen like a hundred of these cut open after use and the overwhelming majority actually held up.
Not my favorite filter 4 sure but we gotta be honest.
I’d say they found a way to construct filters in as cheap of a way as possible while still being functional
Can verify. Got an S4610 delivered today. Hefty build! I was using ChampXL’s exclusively but I’m moving over to PG based filters now on my cars.
Pics show differences between the ecogard and microgard select. Same fitment. Ecogard is from China. Microgard select is from Vietnam. I *think* I like the extra “beef” on the ecogard’s gasket but will use both on my Type-R this summer.

Both base gaskets are fine. The MircoGard Select (Vietnam) for my Coyote uses the flat base gasket. So the base gasket varies depending on filter model in the MicroGard Select line. Honda OEM filters use a similar base gasket - nothing to worry about.
Agree. As long as no leaks after 5000 miles, I guess I don't have an opinion.
I do have one of the PG carquest premiums here that I picked up last week as well. Media is a tad lighter in color and the gasket is rounded like the microgard select but made of nitrile. That'll get spun on the car at some point.

Before I picked up the Microguard Select at O'Reilly's I was checking out the Ecoguard
Either or looks like solid built filters.
