On my last oil change, I discovered the WIX 51372 ADBV leaks.
2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6. 155465 miles on vehicle. 5033 miles on oil and filter.
Out: MC Premium Synthetic Blend 5W30; WIX 51372
In: Quaker State Advanced Durability 10W30; Fram TG2
After setting for 12 hours, pulled the filter and there was no oil in the galleries above the oil filter.
Re-installed the filter and ran the engine 2 minutes at the most. Pulled the filter and recovered 4 oz. plus of oil from the galleries. Conclusion: ADBV function is a fail.
I was planning on doing a cut and post but maybe the community at large would be better served if I reported this to WIX so they can do a better failure analysis.
What say you?
Let WIX have the filter or I do the cut & post.
