Amsoil EAO 80 Cut Open (26500 miles)

[A310]

Here's my Amsoil filter I cut open today. Filter was in great shape after 26500 miles on my 1993 Cummins running Rotella T 15W40. Here's some pictures and a video.:

Any pictures of it before you tore into the endcaps?

Looks good. Thanks for the C&P.

I'm glad you're a truck driver and not a surgeon

Thanks for the CP!

I think you got your money's worth from thematic filter. What color was the media when it was new?

Looks full and maybe even beyond it's max efficiency. I would try 22k next time.

I did 26501 with a regular Fram oil filter.

Do you know how many months/years the EA was in use?

It was in service 2.5 years, next cycle will be 30,000 miles. As it’s used with a bypass filter there should be no problem 30000 miles. Annual oil sampling to see how the oil is holding up.

Kinda looks like a Purolator Boss. The boss has similar spiral louvers, mesh backing, metal end caps.
