PH7317 C&P 7300 miles. Honda CR-V 2.4L

[Gasbuggy]

I don't buy orange cans, I'm burning up some old stock my dad had around.

Looks pretty good for what it is.

This is out of my moms 07 CRV. It does mostly 10 mile spirited drives to work and she slides into her parking space 24 seconds before 8AM. Oil was Pennzoil Platinum 10w30, probably a quart of top off (starting off with 5 in sump).

Looks good. What oil and filter went back in and on? Thank You

 

[Gasbuggy]

AC Delco gold. Mobil HM 0w20. I changed it 3 months ago. Had the filter sitting around for a while.

 

[fantastic]

ok
wide spacing
thanks

She ran 10w30 all winter and now 0w20 as spring approaches? I'd have done the opposite.
The pleat spacing in the 2nd picture doesn't impress me.

In another 4k miles that would have been another Purolator.
Thanks for the CP.

He said he got it three months ago - back around in late fall.

I am doing the 10W30 whatever Spring/Fall OCI thing too with DI, if it wasn't for D.I. sump dilution troubles, and me short tripping now I am retired, I wouldn't really need this silliness.

Negative.

The EG media is more flexible and resists tearing better than Purolator media. Brittle weak media's worse enemy is wide pleats. Not so much for Fram's media.

I have my own thoughts on that.

 

[ARCOgraphite]

I have my own thoughts on that.

I had a super expensive Honda S2000 filter tear two pleats - made by Filtech. I would say no conventional media is immune if it exhibits grossly uneven pleats. There will be high shear stresses at the glue junction on cores with metal end caps - the fiberboard end caps are flexible to a fair extent reducing the localised lateral shear stress vectors. Odd this filter gave up the ghost, as I selected the Honda S2000 spec filter since it was one of the largest 20X1.5 MM /55mm Asian filters. Still too small for winter use with ethanol-blend fuels in my town.

Hi GasBuggy,
This filter looks more than pretty good, it looks great. 7,300 miles of mostly 10 mile drives is tough on an oil filter. It demonstrates how good the Extra Guard filters are. I recommend you stay with them, they're working well for you.

The filter collected a lot of carbon debris. How many miles total on the CRV??

Thanks for the comment, I wondered about that. I'm not sure what is normal.

The CRV has 170,000 miles. She's had it since it since it almost new (15k). It's had changes every 6-7000 miles with good synthetics.

It does consume a litttle oil. A quart every 3500-4000 miles.

+1

I've cut open EG filters that looked much worse, and the media was wavy with terrible pleat spacing but it was very difficult to separate from the end caps.

And I had one virgin one where the end caps delaminated and simply peeled away easily..
Typical of Fram these days. Inconsistent quality...

Part of me wants to just switch over to buying $2 jobber filters. That way if I start my engine and it sounds like a box of rocks I won't be as upset screwing on another $2 filter instead of a $15 one.

I get it.... PGs are a good start...

Wasn't that one really old?

 

[Zee09]

Wasn't that one really old?

2020 year PH2
After the end caps were removed the filter material tore like paper
Also too much oil caused or increased the rate of delamination.
We know many here use far older ones and this was stored in a spare closet in the box.
