I'm surprised we haven't been accused of Kumbaya yet.Who knew changing a filter could be so challenging.

I was wondering the same thing.I don't understand why the oil pressure would be low for this condition described.
The filter is mangled; sure. But how does that stop oil from flowing? Are there some mechanical interference issues inside? Because I can't understand how some wavy pleats stop oil from flowing in a PD fed system.
I could not find the orange cap available seperately, atleast thru my regular parts provider.How do you get a replacement orange cap? It appears that you can buy a black cap from a 2015 model Wrangler but how do you go about getting the original Dorman orange cap that was broken initially?
Judging by this cutaway, the wrong filter probably blocks either the oil supply or return ports.I don't understand why the oil pressure would be low for this condition described.

Talk to your boys at DormanI could not find the orange cap available seperately, atleast thru my regular parts provider.
I did send an email this afternoon.Talk to your boys at Dorman
Also the Amsoil guy seems to reco the Dorman replacement cap near the end of the vid. Me, I'm not sure I trust Dorman to build a bypass valve. It has a moving part so that's probably asking a lot from them
I would actually chance the Dorman Al housing, as much as I badmouth them. I don't think it can be any worse than the OEM plastic -- although it may not be better.Will never understand why anyone at anytime would ever buy a product from this company. Your choice as to which company I mean.
Agree with your statement but in this case their part was "an improved design" over stock but then their execution of the product to market caused a whole situation of confusion when it comes to servicing the filter portion on pre'13 model years....so guess to your point I can see why we may be better off not using itWill never understand why anyone at anytime would ever buy a product from this company.

Seriously. I’d be pushing this through their corporate and possibly small claims just for the fact that they put my engine at risk.I'm surprised VIOC is balking at such a small claim payout. They're lucky they're not on the hook for an engine. Although they try to minimize them, claims are a cost of lube centers doing business. The amount of bad will they'll get isn't worth the less than $100 repair tab.
Maybe there's bulletproof language in the fine print on the work order the customer signs. Something that addresses non-OEM components.
I just found this on a 10R80 filter -- you really need to install the filter seal first, then put the filter into that.These quick lube places must be eating engines left and right. I was working on a newer 330i with the B48 motor, the filter has to be installed into the housing first, not the cap…….then screw the cap on. I can see a lot of crushed/broken filters happening with this.
You’re making the assumption these “technicians” can actually read…
I don’t think the internals of the filter housing are the same. It’s not just the cap that’s different.I wonder how many times this whole debacle could have been prevented had Dorman just made a filter cover but not changed the filter used....
