Fram Ultra XG2 cut open.

2500 miles and 10 months with almost all of it being short trip city miles. Filter looks great and I almost contemplated leaving It on for a second OCI. Oil was kinda dirty for the mileage though. I put a WIX 51372 back on and 5.5 quarts of Miles 10w30 synthetic blend oil. The last picture I had a couple of old hard drive magnets stuck to the outside of the oil filter and that seems to work pretty well for trapping fine ferrous metals.

I would not suggest reusing any filter you have cut open. Welding it back together would be tough.

I am glad the magnets caught the ferrous metals. Joshing aside thanks for the C&P.

I was thinking duct tape instead of welding it.

Maybe they should make special BITOG filters so one can unscrew the can from the base and not need to cut it open?

Save buying the $50 oil filter cutter also.

We can call them canister filters...

When you start building engines like this for a hobby the $50 filter cutter becomes pretty irrelevant. I think I paid $40 for mine.
