I do have the filter, I can use tin snips to open it up but if anyone has better method I can send it to them.
My lower part of the airbox is cracked and deformed a bit but I assumed the filter still fits nicely into the top..maybe not I'll probably go to the junkyard and swap it out. Otherwise it's just a carquest paperfilter.
I did go mudding recently so maybe that didn't help

Same(new) filter but half the interval for science
so 10k miles.
Also interestingly the "insolubles" count it's still very low. The used filter seems to do well above it's 20micron rating not so much below
Sir: I'd gladly cut your filter open for you. Just say the word
