Heard a new mutual aid fellowship was formed, called "Filter Cutters Anonymous".Girlfriend says “you have some issues; I’m just glad it’s not alcoholic or drugs!”

Yes sir
Thank you for sharing.. how would you say the adbv felt.. still pliable?Good Afternoon my fellow BITOGERS
This old oil filter is from Braapdaddy. Tried scrubbing some debris off it then brake cleaner. Didn’t do much aside from peeling paint off. Did not see a date code. Appears Purolator made. Two tears also, spotted this when pulled element out of can.
Hey Stude me and my son got to the stage in the restoration to refresh the 4.9 and have the filter and the wally recipt from 1998 when the truck was last serviced .......
Looong ago, these used to be made by Fram.
I remember them Quaker State filters back in the day, when I was managing stores for a Valvoline franchisee, we acquired a couple Quaker State quick lubes.
We are just as bad, it’s the same gang gawking at the cut filters over and over again.
Where do I sign up?
Used in assembly to keep media good or straight or even. ZeeOSIx can correct me if I’m wrong.
Sure, for clearance OG Ultras! The QS ones aren’t $1.99 at Menards any more… IIRC, I sent a few of my excess QS ones to BOF… Or someone? There’s still a few QS ones in the stash, yet.I thought you shopped at Meijers
I would too. Not a fan of louvers, especially when a bunch of them are closed.
I bought a Napa Gold 100351 for my GM 2.7L TurboMax. I didn't use it because it appeared at least half of the louvers were closed or close to it. I'll probably do a C&P on it sometime.
The Parts Plus 10066 filters for your app have a center tube with holes. I like those
Thanks! I'll check them out.
What are your thoughts on the Champ made E-Core filters? Definitely no restriction in those things, LOL. I noticed the AC Delco PF66 and Fram Ultra Synthetic have gone that route, at least in this application.
Used CHAMP filters at work for 17 years without issues in our fleet. I have case of them I’m using. No bad reports.
Which route ... louvers?
E-Core.
The PF66 that was on the engine from the factory, the dented PF66 I bought I from Amazon and the Fram Ultra XG12447 I used were all E-Core. I assume made by Champ.
The Napa Gold had the crappy louvers.
Strange ... I've seen a few Ultras posted here with louvers, but none with an eCore center tube.
Definitely eCore. It kind of surprised me too. It looked pretty much identical to the PF66 other than being gold instead of blue. I should have taken a picture. Next time I go through the local Walmart I'll grab another. Seems like a decent filter.
I wonder if it has to do with the application?
I'll be doing a C&P on it when I change oil again, but that will be a few months.
