Mahle OC338 cut open

[Johan1]

Here is a mahle OC338 filter cut open, came out of a 2009 Mazda 3 after 6000 miles of use of pennzoil platnium 5w-20. Oil and filter now changed with Valvoline synthetic 5w-20 and another OC338.

Excuse the debris, don't have a proper cutter so had to saw away. I have attached a link to an OEM filter I previously cut open aswell

Just like every Mahle I’ve seen cut open. Wish I could find them locally for my applications. Thanks for the c&p.
