Good looking filter. Pleats are straight, well distributed, and appear to have held up very well. The baseplate seems quite solid as well. Thanks for the C&P
Looks like a stout little filter for 5K. Might consider using these in the future.
Thanks for the C&P!

You folks are welcome. Construction is good
The information I could find said the 20 micron efficiency is 97.2%. better than Wix.
Thanks for sharing Adam.

WOW! That's the first time I have seen efficiency numbers for the Choinese filters.
I wonder how/why they hold up better than Tear-O-Lators?

I have an x241 on my 4runner right now that my local shop installed with some Castrol semi syn. Any of u guys care to guess if I can push one of these filters out to 6 or 7k?
There's some posts here dating a year or two back where someone cut open some of these and found corrosion on the inside of the can. The manufacturer then sent them some of their synthetic filters and other goodies. One of the filters had a huge gap at the baseplate which made me worried when I saw my shop installed this on my truck.

Chinese are making good filters. They learned well.

Great looking little filter there. I would use those up to 6k all day long. Thanks for posting!

If your 4R has a good service history and you are confident the engine is clean and running well, and your usage does not quality as "severe service," I would run these filters up to 7k miles. Like you say, this is a guess, it is really up to you. Basically if the filter is spec'd for your model, it has to last as long as the manufacturer's recommended service interval (time vs mileage) for that model. All things being equal, a clean engine that's running well will not load up the filter as much.
