Hello fellow filter geeks.
This filter was run as a test and I believe it was a success. In my Jeep I have been fighting lifter bleed down that causes start up death rattle ever since I have owned it. Over time I have found a few filters that do well at preventing it (Napa Silver, Fram TG and Motorcraft S series). I have done some recent flushes and Italian tune ups due to recommendations on Jeep Forum, so I was curious if anything was better. Thus the reason I tried an orange can for the second half of my OCI, I was curious if I had made any progress as the orange can had caused start up issues in the past.
Secondly, another PH16 was recently posted that was fairly new manufacture (Feb 2015). I noticed it had more pleats than I had ever seen on a PH16, as well as better pleat spacing. It had 36 pleats instead of the 31 to 32 I had always seen on PH16's. So I got to wondering if the PH16 had been improved a bit. Thread here:
Other new PH16 thread
So I ran a PH16 experiment with both those questions in mind. I didn't have any trouble out of it at start up, except for a few mornings when it dropped to the 30's and 40's I had a little clatter but not my death rattle. Don't know if that was due to the PH16, but think it was more likely the SAE 30 I was still running then, as I had not one lick of trouble out of this PH16 otherwise. No after start "tick" with this like I have gotten with orange cans on the Jeep before either.
This PH16 was made in May 2015. It also had 36 pleats and better spacing than older PH16's so apparently the PH16 has come up a bit. Still not a glamorous filter but looks better than before. Makes me wonder if the also ugly PH8A has gotten the same treatement.
Anyway I was encouraged with my Jeep issue this worked much better than I expected. I still want more media than this but this worked well enough I may run a PH8A or PH3600 next summer. Still not gonna win any beauty contests but the older PH16's were so ugly this is a notable improvement.
