QuoteNever has to make it to the oil filter - just into the valvetrain where you fill the engine with oil.
" oil bottle was crammed in an oil passage that fed the valvetrain." That implies in the pressure feed.

Obviously, an imprecise description of what was found. I'll believe a piece of foil made it into the valvetrain but that's about it.Quote

Sounds like he's just as curious how it got there as anyone, but the fact that it's hard to explain doesn't change the fact that it was there. What's the point microanalyzing or casting doubt on the man.. why would he lie about something like this?Quote

The oil change was on a Mitsubishi, and it was a story 16minutes into a 20 minute video that wasn't the main focus of the video, I highly doubt he made it up.Does Hyundai not use a screen on the pressure feed intake in the sump. How would it get in?
Probably a assembly error or something made for the internet.
Why not just use Valvoline full time instead of pouring other stuff in the bottle ?Their easy pour jug design is truly awesome, I wish more manufacturers would do this. I've gone so far as keeping my Valvoline jug and pouring all my new oil into that for use instead.
"Cretaceous"..... Yes. In that day I was the car/truck washer, lube guy, gas pumper windshield cleaner, restroom janitor, etc. in the Humble station in our town. I remember wearing out the little cutter spear in one of these. They worked really well: stab can, flip it upside down in the oil filler hole, check one tire air pressure, grab it by the spout and whack the can on your 55gal trash can to dislodge the empty, repeat....... It made for a fast lube job. The slowest part was the grease zerts. Somewhere between 10 and 22 (Cadillac sedan) per car. Busy, kept a boy out of the pool hall......Way back in the Cretaceous Era when we used these there were no such problems.

I have had the same issue. I use my pocket knife to remove the seal.Based on the "green light" I got here, I went ahead and bought SuperTech 0W-20 for my most recent 4Runner oil change.
I'm happy to save some money on this job, since the maintenance schedule dictates I change the oil & filter every 5000 miles (lots of driving on dusty dirt roads).
However, I wasn't pleased with the seals on the 5-quart and one-quart jugs I got. Removing the screw top revealed a glued-on paper cover. Which should be no big deal. But on both jugs, the paper separated from a plastic layer that stayed glued. That plastic layer was so thin I couldn't simply peel it off. It tore into pieces that I had to remove very carefully so no bits fell into the oil.
Has anyone else buying ST encountered this? A little bit of plastic getting into the oil is unlikely to be catastrophic, but I'd rather not introduce any foreign matter into the system.
