What is wrong with the filter?
I had it tilted to drain for a dayI'm not seeing any residual oil other than maybe a drop's worth on the anti drain back valve.
Right, it was towed to the dealer where they determined the engine needed to be replaced.Any news on what happened to the engine? Spun bearing, thrown rod? This is why JOB ONE is verifying oil pressure on initial startup after an oil change (& job two is checking for oil leaks with the new filter)!
I say no way.Has a flow restriction, enough to make oil light come on, car had no problems prior to oil filter install.
How could it possibly have a flow restriction? The bypass valve was also somehow stuck shut?Has a flow restriction, enough to make oil light come on, car had no problems prior to oil filter install.
some kind of air lock
