Yes, you read that right this TG9688 had 21K on it and was on for 15 months. It was off of a family members kia spectra I wasn't able to do the OCI at the normal time this last time and told them to take it somewhere else, they said they would. Needless to say when I had time for an OCI on their car a few weeks ago, they "forgot" to ever get the oil changed. Oil was Mobil super syn with 1-2 make up quarts of oil. I do what I can but is not my vehicle and I'm not going to stress over their lack of maintenance.
Overall, the filter did its job and held up really well. ADBV still worked great and was pliable. The media did seem to be brittle but this filter was only designed for 10K ocis. The filter did have a bunch of debris in it. Poor car but it has 178K on it and probably wont be around much longer.
After this C&P, I have no doubt the updated TG filters can do 15K.
