Oil Change Filter Opening


211º

Recommended Posts

You can wash the filter element really well in a small bucket with mineral spirits. Then put a strong enough magnet under the bucket and decant the liquid while gently agitating it. Anything left on the bottom of the bucket has to be ferrous material and can be easily quantified.

What causes the slivers Vs the flecks...?

I've always thought that (for the most part) flecks are (relatively speaking) normal wear and tear - unless there is an amount that could be seen/gathered in a teaspoon. And slivers are pieces of metal being shaved (stripped?) from the cam-shaft and indicate that the cams are getting past the very hard (and thin) protective metal/layer.

I'm open to hearing more/other opinions.
