FRAM Ultra XG2 (OG) used oil filter cut open - 13,779km

[OVERKILL]

Filter is now being wicked with paper towel to get the oil out of it. No more carbonaceous grit in the bottom of the can. No obvious metal in the filter, but won't really know until I am able to pull out the media and lay it out.

used oil analysis here

squeeze it in a vice

Yeah, with previous filters (not sure if this is from the truck or Jeep, I have 3x that I wicked and lost track of which vehicle they came off of, lol) that I've wicked I've ripped chunks of media out, but it's a real pain to get a decent sized segment:

A couple sparklies there, but that's normal.

I am always afraid of squeezing out any metal material so I do it the hard way leaving it in a drain pan for days & changing the towels every so often.
