This is from a whole interval, I meant to do a mid-interval filter change but a vacation got in the way and after I thought about it some more, the two filters from the last interval did not show anything concerning, so I stuck it out to the full interval.
This is the 2nd interval with HPL PCEO 5w20 for a total of almost 20,000 miles of HPL use. Currently have HPL Euro 5w30 in for the next ~10k.
PP used for the previous 40,000 miles (~1200hrs) prior to HPL.
2019 Ram 5.7, 76161 miles (~2363 hrs)
Filter in use for 9709 miles (~262 hrs)
Not a bunch of pics as I was focused on the media and what may be in it. I strained the oil from the can through a coffee filter, nothing to note from that. Media was wrapped in towels for a while to wick out as much as possible. Little flecks in each pleat again. I'd argue that there are fewer flecks in this filter than in the last filter.
I measured the mesh for fun and got .010" and .012" depending on which orientation I measured.
