MAHLE OC707 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Another filter from SubieRubyRoo. This and other one i will post were out in rain. Dont store filters outside please!

Off of a 03' Subaru Legacy for 4,000 miles and unknown oil. 140k miles on car also

When was the filter out in the rain? Before install or after de-install?

It better be after ...

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Yes, yes, shame on me. The next ones will be fresh and dry.

After it was ran on vehicle

Adam's got another OC707 that is new, maybe that one will get cut as well. Even with the milkshake from my poor choice, the filter looks solid for a low-buck, short OCI app. Nitrile valve but media looks good, if a little wavy.

As with the other four filters that got cut this round, all were clean and free of water when in use on the engine. They were out on the drain pan through a rainstorm and then sat for several days full of water. My apologies to Adam for the mess

Glad I wore gloves is all I'm goin to say :^)

If my friend that has a early 2000's Honda CRV (actually she is my aunts girlfriend for over 30 years) doesn't need a oil change I'll cut the MAHLE filter

I'll send some more new 3593A-compatible filters on the next batch... some to cut and some to use for friends & fam... I have a MANN filter that I likely won't ever use as well, because I have about 8 XG3593As so there's no reason to...

Sounds good. Just make sure you keep them inside before shipping

Looks good to me, knowing it did not come off the car that way

Looks like it's doing the wave. Not torn dosent matter I wouldn't guess?? Is that a Mahle or female lol?

One needs too keep filters to be cut and pasted in a humidor at exactly 48.2 degrees Fahrenheit for best results.
