NEW Premium Guard PG1A CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good evening BITOGERS

This filter is from member QDeezie. I believe he would use this filter on his F-150 truck. I will say looks good aside from slanted media I spied. Overall I would use this filter if I had a vehicle that called for it

Thanks for the C&P,

Looks good for an under 2 dollar filter.

Where do you buy them for under $2? Rural King?

RockAuto sells a ton of Premium Guards. I know firsthand.

The problem with rock Auto is you need to either order with another part from the same place or order several toake it worth while because of shipping cost. Then you have a surplus of filters you need to use up. Assuming you don't decide to sale the vehicle before use them up it's a good deal.
I bought several super cheap puros for a van after Walmart discontinued them and the van blew a main seal. I got all these old filters in my closet now that I don't need.

I'm trying to generate a couple more used ones... the Baldwin B7243 will be coming off in a couple weeks, and I'll also send the XG3593A off my Outback once the cold snap breaks. I also have a Subaru OEM off mom's '18 Forester and one other used one.

Speaking of filters, did you ever cut open that HM3593A that has the plastic thing with the "high mileage" gel in it? I don't remember seeing it.

There will also be a couple white ST4386s for your Camry and an ST6607 to slice and dice. I wonder what the USPS x-ray tech thinks when he sees my boxes with all these filters in them...

Thanks Adam. 99% multi-pass efficiency** removes particles as small as 25 microns.

I just wish we knew which factories (in which countries) are making filter media material for all the filter manufacturers

Pretty much guarantee the PG media is made in China-although I did see on RA's info on the PG1A that rated efficiency is "up to" 96% @ 25 microns, which isn't horrible for a jobber level filter that doesn't self-destruct when delta-p is put on it!

Cut one open and post the pics. If you want to get rid of the others post them for others. Maybe you can trade the filters for some oil.

Thank you for the cut and post! I appreciate it!!!

I bought filters for three vehicles and never more than six at a time from RockAuto.
Currently I am done with RockAuto and purchasing basic filters like the new silicone ADBV Fram Extra Guard - new and improved silicone ADBV NAPA Pro Select - plus currently venturing into silicone ADBV K&N Silver, which I can got online for $4.99 @ Amazon Prime.

There's enough evidence on this board that basic filters get us to 300+K, when discarded properly/timely. Even evidence supPorting store brand oils too.

My former $1.67 Premium Guard pair worked out great. They quieted my Colorado's cold, dry startup that a $8-9 Fram Ultra created. I may someday order the Premium Guard XL, should the K&N Silver not be up-for-the-task. I need an inexpensive filter for the Colorado that can do 6-7K. That dollar store-type Premium Guard filter nitrile ADBV stayed quiet for 5K, then I began hearing a weak cold startup clatter in the last 1K of that filter's lifespan.

So I would use a basic, cheap Premium Guard for 5K. But hesitant to try them again in OCIs up-to 7K in that Colorado.
