Cut open the Fram Ultra off of the 2002 Chevy Trailblazer 4.2L I6, 111k miles. Filter was on for 2 years and 11,000 miles.
1st year was 5,000 miles and using Chevron Supreme HM 5w30, 2nd year was 6,000 miles on Castrol GTX SynBlend 5w30. I cut it open using my angle grinder with a cutting wheel. Replaced it with another Fram Ultra and Pennzoil Platinum HM 5w30.
There's a slice of metal from using a grinder stuck on the filter in the 2nd pic.
