Mopar MO-090 C/P - Vintage Virgin

[KCJeep]

I’ve had this old Mopar for at least 10 years. It doesn’t fit anything I own anymore so I thought I’d post it here. Basically a Puro clone of the Motorcrafts of the era but with a nitrile ADBV. Everything was okay, pleat spacing not great and it appeared potentially primed to be one of the infamous Tearolator filters. ADBV was stiff but still pliable enough it probably would have been okay. Enjoy.

That's one happy filter thanks for the c&p and pictures

See if pinching the pleats tears them.

Not crispy feeling like I’m accustomed to. Almost spongy. No rust anywhere but I wouldn’t recommend running one this old without better storage than sitting in the garage.

Spongy, doesn’t want to tear but it doesn’t inspire confidence. It’s not right too many years of MO humidity.

"Friendly" right out of the box ... what would it do after an OCI.

Thanks for the C&P! Gonna try to cut open the one I just took off my Ram tomorrow. See if it’s just as happy

Mopar filters have never seemed anything special IMO
Good C/P tho

To be fair it has no rust & glue seems to be in the right places. It does have a bad overbite on the upper & lower end caps. I'll assume that was to hold in the glue+media or they couldn't get the media butted up to the edge of it correctly. Media is an older goldish/yellow color that we would see with more cellulose. I'm not afraid to run some older filters & have run up to 10 years but it was better constructed & wasn't 16 years old. That's where I draw the line...This filter. Love the nostalgia though so thanks for sharing this c&p.

No more, I braided my long and luscious back-hair.
