This filter seems to have been made in July 2011. It was in use for 5668 miles, from 7/5/2017 to 8/29/2017 with 65% Peak 10w30 and 35% Mobil Delvac 1300 15w40. During this OCI, the car was used on two 600 mile trips, one 2300 mile trip to Idaho and the rest 25 mile one way commutes in parking lot type of trafic.
The ADBV worked great, after almost a month of draining the filter with hardly anything draining out, a lot of oil came out when the filter was cut.
I always associated wavy pleats with moisture in the oil, this filter must have came wavy from the factory. 61 pleats on this filter - like the L14459, for those that care.
No tears of the media, but on one section, the glue seems to have separated from the metal end cap, hardly visible in the second to last photo.
I did cut my finger opening this one up, going with the trend of my messing things up lately, I must be getting old.
