This will be the last one of these filters that I post as it was the last one that I had left in my stash. This filter was in use for 4876 miles with API SL rated QS Defy 5w20 from last years AZ clearance. Another Rock Auto clearance filter replaced this filter but this time it was an Affina made Car Quest Red 85348. ADBV on this filter provided minimal ADBV function, second filter in a row that I noted this on, valve was stiff but still somewhat pliable.
I forgot to mention above, this came off of my 2004 Lexus ES330 with the 3MZ-FE engine. The car had 175,040 miles on it at the time of service and currently consumes no oil to speak of. Replacement oil was 3 remaining quarts of QS Defy 5w20 high zinc SL oil, 1 quart of (non GTL) Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5w30 and 1 Quart of PYB 20w50. All were leftovers and odd quarts leftover from last year's AZ clearance. I know it seems like an odd mix but I figured I'd stick to all SOPUS to try and mitigate any add pack difference between brands. I'll service and sample again in 5,000 miles.
