Cut open with a grinder. I was hesitant to use this filter on my truck after i cut open the Pro-tec 130, but it turned out to be a good filter.

Nice work, good job. Looks like a solid 3-5k mile filter, for a group 7 like filter.
I don't necessarily like the way the ADBV is made, though.
+1 for post!
EDIT: Looks like a Napa Pro-Select/Silver lineup.

Nice work, thanks!
Looks good for 8-10k OCI in a clean engine.
Forgot to mention, it's about 53 pleats.
ltslimjim, is correct, it's a wix made filter.
Says made in the USA, the Pre-tec 130 said made in Mexico.

Looks like a filter made at the Wix factory in Gastonia, NC.
Thanx for posting. Doesn't look too bad at all.
Is that actually a combo valve or just an ADBV?

Looks like a great filter. Too bad it got cut up before it was used.
It looks like a decent filter but I prefer Wix.
Where do you get those PRO-TEC filters at ?

I got the 170 from my workplace. The used 130, off of a vehicle that came in for an oil change.
We where getting the protec's from orielly's, it's a behind the counter item that you would have to ask for.
We've changed over to napa proselects for 10cents more a piece, because of better service.

I've still got a case or 2 of the older Pro-tec's from when they were still made in the US. They don't use a combo valve so that must be the new design then.
