Microgard Select MSL10332 C&P

[funflyer]

Second oil change on my 24 Rav4 hybrid @6000K miles. First OC was at 1K miles. This filter replaced the Toyota filter in mid-oci when I discovered most of the Toyota filters from a new case had torn pleats at the end seals and Toyota didn't seem at all concerned. This one has less than 2K miles on it but I wanted to inspect the build quality of this particular PN of Microgard filter. Just like the others I've seen on this forum, this one is a quality manufactured filter that I couldn't find anything about it I didn't like. Also, I didn't find as much as one spec of debris in the media or in the can itself. New filter used was a M1-103A.

 

[Fair enough]

They use the same oval holes as Toyota. Maybe they make the longer version? Very clean running engine. Looks like a winner after finding the defective Toyota filters.

 

[fantastic]

Agree, looks excellent.

 

[Glenda W.]

Very nice!

 

[MetalSlug]

Looking beautiful

Looks great. I’m guessing oil still in service? May I see pics of that baseplate?

I Thank You and great work

Why the switch to the M1-103A?

The reason I switched is that the MG filter's o-ring was so easy to compress when tightening by hand that the filter base bottomed out on the housing. I prefer the square o-ring style of the M1 that allows the filter to tighten without metal to metal contact.

Oil was changed also. I'll post some base plate pics tomorrow.

In other words, the gasket was the molded p-style. As you probably know, they are designed to compress so that the base of the filter does make contact. I believe the theory is that it is supposed to make for a better seal.

I'm kind of AR when it comes to these things. I don't like a steel can tightening against a cast aluminum housing.

Looking at the last picture of the media spread out, it looks like it picked up some pretty large "particles". Is this what they mean by a "rock catcher"?

You talking about the boulders in the background?

 

[Fair enough]

Lets see someone copy this P gasket from Denso Japan.

The black nitrile P-gasket on that Toyota filter looks to have lots of permanent set.
