Distorted oil filter

<< < (2/2)

Dan_FR:
You sure it hasn't been scavenging for oil? Ever checked the oil pickup? How long between oil changes?  I've never had this on mine

GTIEagles:
I have never had any oil issues with it, in fact it hardly uses a drop between changes. I have never looked at the oil pickup, although I would say that the filter almost looked sucked in if that makes sense? It's been 6000 miles/ 1 year since it was last changed but the previous changes were about once every 2 years on a long life interval.

rich83:
The filter should come out almost a stiff as a new one.... just VERY black. It shouldnt distort really, never had that happen on mine.

MPS:
Hmmm..... Interesting thread. Mine comes out distorted too. Have to check the pickup pipe as its planted a seed of uneasyness in my head now. Don't want to wreck the engine.
