    poking holes in filter, during oil change

    Originally Posted By: eljefino I wonder if a spring loaded center punch would do it. The cheap steel in filter cans isn't brittle enough to make shards. Agreed.

    Wix vs Wix XP Oil Filters

    Purolator L24651 cut open, found more torn media

    I've been sticking to wire mesh backed media for any extended drain intervals. I think 3-5k would be my personal limit for a Purolator classic. Was this car involved in low temp starts? It's possible for the media to tear right before bypass.
