Here is my 1st Cut & Post.

Vehicle: 2014 F150 3.5L Ecoboost 69,000 miles.

Filter: ST10575 4,200 miles $2.97 Walmart.

Oil: Delo XLE 10w-30 6 quarts.

Oil and filter added April this year, Mpg went down from 18.3 to 17.4. Cold start/ timing chain rattle was less noticeable with this combo!

Thank You for the c&p

I plan to use a few ST 3600'S someone donated to me. Filter looks real good

Your welcome!

I forgot to mention: I observed no tears and media was durable to handling.

Previous fill was Mobil super 5w-30 and a Purolator classic.

The Hdeo 10w-30 definitely reduced MPG's compared to 5w-30 pcmo. The thicker oil may have helped with the startup rattle? or was it the filter?

I also installed a new air filter midway through Interval and noticed no change in MPG's.

Filled today with Mobil 1 5w-30 and a Motorcraft FL500s.

Maybe a little of both.

I used to run 5W30 Synthetic Blend in my 4L V6 Ford Ranger. About 2000 miles into a change I would begin to notice startup rattle on some filters. I attributed this to the oil beginning to shear down. I have since switched to full synthetic and startup rattle is not noticed. The last filter used before selling the truck was an STP S2 with similar construction as your filter. No startup rattle with this combo.
 
Had that Delo in both my lawn tractor and walk behind mower. Changed the small pull start to 5w30 synthetic and noticeably easier to pull start. Left the Delo in big mower.
 
Filter does look really good... The updated e core oil filters almost always look really good. At least they fixed the problems.

Very good job here with pictures...
 
Looks like a filter that did it's job well..For $2.97 and 4k+ miles... run that bad boy every day and twice on Sundays! ðŸ‘

Unfortunately, my fuel mileage has not improved even after adding mobil1 5w-30 800 miles ago showing 17.1 on dash and fuel receipts show the same. Perhaps my right foot gained weight! The investigation begins...
