What kind of car?....You are braver than I am....I'm on my third and final 5K OCI (actually 4.7K, 4.6K and probably another 4.7K for a total of 14K) on an OG 3614 Ultra on my 2014 Focus 2.0 GDI. This is the first time I've done this but now having a Mitivac and the PITA to remove belly pan on Fords make this my new plan going forward.
One asked what OG means when it comes to this Fram filter that is known as wire backed Ultra version that originally launched & is no longer being produced. You said "Original Gangster" as if it makes perfect sense speaking about an oil filter which it does not. In this instance it should mean "Original Generation". If we were talking about gang members or rappers then it would be more appropriate. There are many meanings that evolve for the greater good of our language & current trends. Even your post #17 spells this out in the first sentence.Google it ... just because you think what OG means doesn't mean what it really means from its inception.Do some research. You won't find that OG means "Original Generation" ... that's only what you think it means.
I could make up all kinds of acronyms such as:
OD = Original Design
OC = Original Configuration
OWB = Original Wire Backed
OU = Original Ultra
etc ...

Only one of those are correct...
Maybe in your suburb it means that. But for those of us that grew up in the ‘hood, it most definitely is Original Gangsta.OG means "Original Generation" not "Original Gangster"
What you failed to understand if you read the links I posted, is that the word now means way more than what it meant when it originally appeared. Read this again
... "it's about being original, authentic and respected". That DOES apply to the old Ultra in this context. What confuses you is how the word it used today, and in what context. When that happens, people tend to make up their own meaning for words, just like in this case. The OG Ultra was obviously original and highly regarded here, which is the whole underlying meaning of the term OG. But you'll never grasp the context it seems.You just read it... (OG) Wire backed Ultra is considered "Original Gangsta" by @ZeeOSix
"I just installed a Fram Original Gangsta on my Volvo today" It sounds ridiculous but here we are.
Maybe "OG" should mean "old grumpy" in another context. I think I may have coined the "OG Ultra" name-and I meant "Original Gangsta (or -er)"-from "back in the day"-before First Brands came along & started nickel & diming everything to heck!
Your plan seems reasonable to me. Filter looks really good.
