Quite a robust filter, there.
Question: In the 5th image down from the top. Is it my imagination or does it appear that there is a slight deformity in the gasket specifically between the 9 o’clock and 11 o’clock position?

Possibly a very slight deformity, I think most of what you are seeing is accentuated because the oil has been removed, likely by me handling it. I went and looked at it after wiping it off the most pronounced deformity in the gasket is where it was vulcanized together.
This filter has a torque specification, which I follow that may have caused nay deformity during removal because there was nothing pronounced on installation , I always look at them, and always oil the gasket.
The specs on Ravenol VSE indicate that it's a great oil!

I've seen other filters with a wavy looking base gasket after they have been used and removed.Quite a robust filter, there.

Pull the media apart and see if you can peal the layers.... or if the media has plastic/wire mesh support.
You have? Where is the proof of that?
Not directed at you btw. Just making a point.
You two are why we can't have nice things around here. What a tiresome bore.
Robert: looks very good. Did another of these filters go back on?
thank you

Gaskets will absorb some oil, expand a little, causing it to tighten. Its ok for it to be a little wavy, or a tad oversized after usage. So, you can't always blame the gorilla at the dealer or engine assembly plant for an overly tight filter.
149,000 4 micron particles per milliliter is 149,000,000 per liter and if there are five liters total that’s 745,000,000. Maybe measuring a ml worth and extrapolating to 5 liters is a guess, but that’s a lot of particles, and 4 micron do scratch, not polish until they are broken down, and if they are hard particles. This rating was almost at the top of the 24 code. So what gives here? Good, bad, or OK?
