ECOGARD X10479 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good afternoon folks from chilly PA

Filter and QSGB 5W30 was off a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, my aunts car with 60k on it. She doesnt drive it much also. About 5,100 miles on this oil and filter. Put some Formula Shell 5w30 and a HYUNDAI/KIA Premium Guard knock off in and on

Filter looks pretty good Adam. I'm real curious what that next filter with the Shell oil is going to look like.

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Looks pretty stellar for a sub $3 filter... I know it's selfish but I'm looking forward to your next week's worth

I don't know when that will be as she lives 2+ hours away but hopefully next year or soon

These guys could teach Purolator how to make a low end filter!

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Or just about any filter except PureOne...

Yeah, sad that a china or korea made filter holds up while MANN/HUMMEL trash tears

Yes-the Boss seems to be the only Puro that can hold up without tearing. All their low end ones are suspect, and sadly Puro makes a whole boatload of private label junk-Promotive, Proline, QS, some STPs, Reds, Classics, etc., etc.

Bullwinkle: what you running filter wise on the Gran Marquis? A ULTRA XG2 or....

 

[TheLawnRanger]

It's been a while since we've seen a really bad filter other than that super neglected one a day or so ago.

Back in the 90's, I ran a Motorcraft FL-1A for 30,000 miles with regular oil changes, and it looked fine when cut apart.
It had a lot of "chunks" of carbon bits between the pleats (many pieces were bigger than a grain of sand) but it wasn't "sludged up" at all.

 

[JustinH]

Severe service for this car is 3750 miles. I would not take a conventional oil past that in this Direct injected oil destroying machine.

 

[53' Stude]

No offense sir; but my 76 year old aunt doesnt stress a vehicle much. It took over a year to put this many miles on. Being a 2011 i dont know if the 4cyl is direct injection also. QSGB does the job well

The more of these Ecogard X* filters I see posted in here, the more I am impress with what they provide for the price, and the more I consider buying one to try on my Fusion.
