[Cut Open] Fram PH3600 , 5,074 miles ,10 Months

[Bud_One]

Fram PH3600 - used for 10 months and 5,074 miles on our 2003 Pontiac Vibe with the 1ZZFE 1.8L
Looks good for the short OCI .
No rips, no tears , no puncture marks in the ADBV.
Caught some crud , Date code - A50622 , ADBV was stiff but pliable .
Did it's job well as far as I'm concerned.

You're most welcome car51.
Previous oil used was Chevron Supreme Conventional 10W30 .

The pleats look good even around the seam. Yesterday I cut open a Tough Guard TG3614 I'd been using and the pleats were wide, crooked and one next to the seam was layed over.

No problems there.

The 1ZZ-FE uses the considerably smaller PH4967. Just curious as to why you used the PH3600?

Larger filter probably saw a lower delta p which could be why the media is still straight and not wavey

Looks good. Thanks.

Looks good. I have run quite a few of those, most looked like yours my last one was ugly but intact.

Correct

You used the huge 3600 on the bottom of your 1ZZ? The oil filter in that engine is on the bottom, right? I'd be afraid to do that because of the risk of damaging it from impact

I wouldn't use anything bigger than a 4386! (which is spec'd for the 2ZZ)

There's a lot more room than you think.
It doesn't even go past the oil pan.
I should of taken a picture.
I have the PH3614 equivalent on it now.
