Hi Guys,
Didn't know I was getting talked about
.
Soobs contacted me on Nasioc....I did not test an orange can PH9715. It was off my Honda (PH3593a maybe?) so the comments about the relative number of pleats might (probably is) inconsistent. My bad for that. The ADBV on the 12a filter did not feel like the nitrile valve off of a Purolator Premium 14610 that I had, so I assumed that Honeywell was using a black silicone valve (most silicone valves are orange/red). Anyway, I'm always up for learning more, so lets keep this investigation alive.
I guess the only valid thing that I found was the bypass pressures on the 12a and the black Tokyo Roki filter.
Soobs, did you feel like the bypass valve assembly leaf spring was glued to the filter element on your 12a? In my experience cutting open a few 12a's, there was definitely resistance removing that part from the element (as well as the ADBV) whereas on the 3593a Fram, the bypass valve assembly leaf spring just fell off with no resistance.
