So, tonight has been a fun night.
What I thought was going to be an easy time cutting open some oil filters turned into a hassle, FWIW those that hate on Korean made MANN+HUMMEL filters need to hear something.
It took a total of 20 seconds to open this Purolator Classic with an OF Cutter. It took almost an hour to cut open this OEM Hyundai filter. Why? Well, I ended up breaking the oil filter cutter, 4 hacksaw blades, as well as a Made In USA steel can opener while trying to cut this beast open. It finally took a pair of tin snips and some strategic use of my last hacksaw blade to open it. You will see in the pics below some gnarly photos of American Made Purolator versus a Korean Made OEM, who oddly enough are both under the MANN+HUMMEL umbrella.
Enjoy.
