Default I cut open tranny filter, pic

I got one of those oil filter cutters and cut this open just for curiosity. It's I think a Pro-king spin on tranny filter from autozone. 2 years about 50K miles use. Dirty dog is right that you can go 100K with this, I mean these things don't get much dirt debris. I probably will not worry about changing this again, at least not for 3 years 75K if I have truck that long.

No prob. ..I also cut open the oil filter...I went 11,200 on RP 10w30..This is an m1-301 EP filter...It's larger than the m1-204 which is spec'd for most chrylser vehicles of my year...My oil always turns dark quickly regardless of what oil I use ever since I bought it with 52K miles on it. I'm at 192K now..MY oci's usually 10K but sometimes I go over a little like this time. Anyhow, other than the dark color it was pretty clean.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
This definitely gives you piece of mind when wondering how your equipment is/has been doing!

Did you just change the inline filter, or did you drop the pan and do the pan filter too? Or was that not done because the inline looked so damn good?.
