Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Oil filters

[Ed Veneck <edveneck@xxxx>]

I would cut one apart and take a lokk inside the next
time you change oil. 
Everytime I change oil on my aircraft engine, I always
cut the filter apart and examine it for signs (metal
filing)of engine breakdown. I also try do do this at
least once a year on my daily driven cars. It only
takes about 30 minutes and it is time well spend.
