This filter is off my 2000 Ford Excursion with 202,850 miles. The oil has a total of 40,000 miles with 15000 miles on this Fram filter and running a MotorGuard bypass filter. Some debris on the bottom and is non metallic, most likely carbon. Pleats are in great shape and have a very small amount of carbon and a few specs of metal. Looks like I'll go 30,000 miles on the next filter.
