Vehicle is 2017 Outback 3.6 I've owned since new. 160K miles on the clock. Post FF she has had about 16 Fram Ultra XG9688 filters and Mobil 1 5-30 (with IIRC 2 Pennz Plt 5-30 runs). OCI is 7500 -10k. Until the HPL run I've never had one of these filters show anything but excellent visual results. I do cut every filter post OCI.
I've done 5 or 6 UOA's with excellent results. I ran HPL cleaner for 5200 miles. My guess was there would be little to no cleaning but the filter has me guessing.... @ZeeOSix I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Is it the filter? Or did the HPL have anything to do with it?? The filter before HPL was bought along with the filter used for the HPL run within the last 6 months from Amazon subscribe and save. The previous filter was a 7500mile OCI.
No visible debris in the HPL run but certainly dark color (not that it matters much). Pics below! The wavy one is the HPL 5200mile OCI.
