And if you are around on BITOG to know me well, you know that I don't do show-n-tell of cutoff oil filters, period.
so long as they(oil filters) manage to filter anything over 15microns or more effectively, and ADBV is working during start up first thing in the morning, then everything is jolly. air-filter quality is more important for that has a more direct impact on cylinder wall wear than a so-called slightly ripped puro filter.
My 2c's worth,
Q.
Thing is, those really cheap oil filters won't be anything close to "filtering anything over 15 microns or more effectively".
