This filter came off a waste oil heater that has been neglected. These photos might need a NSFW tag lol

This is what I expected my 1,344hr oil filter to look like. .

 

[fantastic]

wow, that's plugged. Are these routed in bypass scenario or is it full flow w/no bypass on filter?

I'm willing to bet that it still ran just fine!

No bypass

It seemed to run just fine lol. I assume it will produce more heat or at least reduce the load on the pump.

No bypass

Probably don't want to bypass after seeing that sludge.

Another Wix 551614, the shop had a full unopened case sitting in the parts room. At this rate, they have a lifetime supply of filters for this heater lol
