First oil change at 840 miles with filter cut open (LOTS of debris!)

[saerandy]

Doing my first oil change at 5K when they rotate tires and Toyota Care does an inspection. I really like my Goose Gear rear delete and pretty sure I need to swap back to the OE rear seats for the multi-point inspection to go smoothly.

OEM filter doing its job. But how do you know for sure cutting the casing didn't expose the pleats to debris...

I used an oil filter cutter/opener [This One] that doesn't really leave shards in it. Also the metal debris and gasket sealer were all along the length of the pleats and not just at one end. As you can see in the pics. I also put together a Youtube video where I go through the filter pleat-by-pleat and show what it's caught. You can click here to see it.

I love it when someone asks for a reference and the author can just slam one down. That's fantastic. I love a good reference drop.
