Good Morninf filter porn addicts. What is the oldest oil filter you have used on a vehicle, outdoor power equipment or tractor, etc? I used an early 2000’s or 90’s FRAM tough guard that we never figured out date code of. On my old Camry.
Oldest oil filter you ever used?

8-9 year old Purolator One filters. By the time I use up all of my stash of them they'll be nice & crispy. 
J/K If they get that bad obviously I'll buy some new ones.
Here's what they look like used in my 6.0L Diesel

Just snapped two pics since oily hands. This was run for 5,020 miles on my 6.0L Power Stroke w) 111,615 miles on it.
Looks clean, no tears found but it was beat up pretty good. About 2500 miles hauling my Lance slide in truck camper to/from MO and TX.
Took a pic of another new one for reference.

11 year old Fram FPS7317 (Fram Pro Synthetic) on our M35.
I still have a couple of Baldwin oil filters I bought from U-Haul back when they were still running ford idi's.
I'd have no problem using an 'older' filter.
But I store mine in the basement where it does not get too hot or cold.
That's where I also store my oil stach.

Ha...we fired up a friend's relative's abandoned 1950 Buick and drove it a bit.
Since we drove the car, we USED the filter...therefore the oldest for me.
HONESTY DISCLAIMER: I didn't look for, nor recall, actually seeing a filter.

I ran two 20 year old Spectrum oil filters some time ago in my Mercury Sable. There were no problems that I could detect.
Morning not Morninf! LOL
Adam, I have always bought new Oil Filters, so would the new Oil Filter I bought and used in 1984 count as the Oldest Oil Filter that I have used?
I was doing an oil change on the Opel and thought that I had a new filter. Wrong. I ended up grabbing and using an old Napa filter which was just hanging around as decoration in the garage. I still have it if someone wants to cut it.
Sir: send it to me and I’ll gladly compensate you. I’ll post it here too. Thank You.
Have a tin can straight through filter on my 28 Chevy, then there is the canister on the 49 C model Farmall
I worked on a farm in the late 90’s and went on an oil changing binge one week. There was an old Massey Ferguson tractor I changed the oil and filter on. They had stashes of filters up in the attic of the shop and I was told the “new” Massey- branded filter I used was bought in the early 70’s.

I've seen YT videos of Whip City Wrencher cutting filters open that were DECADES old that were none the worse for wear. I'm pretty certain they don't have an expiration date.
Oil is a differrent story and wouldn't trust something that's been sitting on the shelf for a few years.
