Plenty of short trips for sure. Run on the mighty Saturn 1.9 DOHC
Looks like good solid construction, but it was leaking the whole OCI, apparently at the seam as others have experienced. Date code best as I can determine is 061511D1. As you can see, I punched a hole with a screw right through the code to drain the oil.
I now have a MotorCraft FL-400S installed and the leak is no longer, confirming the WIX filter was indeed leaking.
Oil used during the OCI was Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w-40, Mobil 1 HM 5w-20, Rislone Engine Treatment, LiquiMoly mos2, and a touch of Heinz 57 oils. Also of note, I performed a 12 minute B-12 flush before the oil change I just performed: FL-400S + Mobil Delvac Super 1300 15w-40 + Rislone + LM mos2
Yes, Saturns be thirsty, about 1150 miles to the quart.
I will post additional pictures later.
