MIGHTY M2051 oil filter, 8,xxx miles CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good afternoon folks

This is off of a friend of my real fathers 2017 Ford F-250 "super duty" with the automatic and 6.7 diesel. Unknown oil and this filter. Put a Baldwin he supplied and Rotella Conventional 10w30 in CK4 flavor in and on. Truck already has 30,498 miles on it. He does a lot of hauling and trailering stuff with it. From what was left on end of can filter was made March 11, 2016 and Line C and 2nd shift. Interesting Purolator uses string on these heavy duty filters

Purolator clone? Seems like it looking at the string around the media and the style of bypass valve.

Good friend: all I can say is "made by Purolator" and I was surprised to see the string

That's a big filter. Still amazed at how dirty diesel oil/filters get.

Nice louvered centertube. It is strange to see the string again.

Yeah, diesels definitely make some nasty soot and such.

Much of the soot in diesel oil is smaller than 1 micron.

I work part time at a lube shop and we use Mighty filters. We have a few high mileage customers who have come to us since they bought their cars new. One guy has an '03 Caravan with 435,000 miles on it. Original engine and trans with no work, just regular preventative maintenance.

L8R,
Matt

Thanks Tonydoc and gentlemen

He usually goes 5-6k, but life and some stuff got in the way this time. I'm glad the filter looked good also

All oil looks black from diesel engines. Even after 1000 miles. That, in and of itself, has nothing to do when an oil change is due.

Thanks car51 for the C&P.

Looking through the center tube is like going through a wormhole.

 

[sir1900]

Looks very good. I am especially impressed with the louvers.

Thanks for the C&P.

You gentlemen are very welcome

Current Motorcraft filters for the 6.7L PSD also have the string, but usually do not look as good as this one after only 5K miles. I stopped using them and switched to wire-backed mesh filters.
