This is a Premium Guard PG111 (Made in Korea) that was run for 8,000 miles over 19 months with 15W-40. I decided to try this brand after seeing positive cut open results posted here. This filter cost me $1.25 Can is very clean inside. The ADBV and element seal was not centered when the...

This is a Baldwin BT839 used on an Allison AT545 automatic transmission in a school bus. According to records that came with the vehicle, this filter was installed in 2003, and stayed in service for about 40,000 miles until recently. Looks like the typical clutch material found in the pan of...

I bought a coolant filter mount and it came with a new Fleetguard WF2074 filter. Unfortunately, it has DCA4 additive for a 36 gallon cooling system so I can't use it. I've always wondered what these looked like inside, so here it is cut open. It's a paper element that seems to be stained by...

I finally bought the filter cutter that I've always wanted, and this is the first one I used it on. This is a Wix 51515XP that was run on a 2007 Chrysler Hemi 5.7L V8 for 18,000 miles. The media appears to have held up really well. There's no damage that I can see and the pleats are still...

Ive found various forum conversations about this filter, and at some point the micron rating comes up, and someone will post some really awful micron number allegedly from Fleetguard and then the discussion ends. It seems to get written off as an old design not worth anyone's time. From what I...

I have a 383 chevy small block. It makes about 450HP and 500TQ and it's in a daily driven vehicle. I have been running a K&N 14x4 round filter since the engine was new and it's at 30K miles now. I also have a ram air box surrounding the filter with dual 4" tubes that attach to the radiator...

I have a small block chevy v8 which is currently running the greenish/yellowish prestone all makes all models coolant. I figured it was similar to the old school green stuff, which is what these engines came with and never gave it a second thought. After doing some reading here, I'm finding out...

I have a small block chevy V8 which I have been running 15W-40 in since the day it was built, which was about 30K miles ago. It's a 383 and makes around 450HP. It's been doing great on the 15W-40 and I've only been putting around 3000-5000 miles a year on it. Now that I've moved to a bigger...

I've got a tecumseh 2.5hp on a motorized bike. I've been running Delo 400 15w-40 just because its what I keep around for my truck and it seemed like a good choice. The problem is, the motor doesn't have any oil smoke on startup or when its cold, but half way on my commute home in the evening...

I have an old Tecumseh 2.5HP motor that's going on a motorized bike I'm building for short distance commuting to help save on gas. During the summer it'll get started in the cool of the morning, probably around 70 degrees but the motor is going to also be working hard in 100+ degree heat. During...
