[/Wow. What did the oil look like coming out?
Good god! I'd bet dollars to donuts that filter was in bypass.
Tell us about the vehicle, oil, mileage on the filter, and total mileage.
Holy sludge monsters Batman!!!

You really should change your oil a lot more often lol
Sure. The vehicle was my Scooby EJ engine with 125k miles on dino diet from day 1, that get 0w30 fully synthetic old stock ELF, plus half quart of TechPE base oil, from my stach, last year, you know, to clean ... Ran this oil/filter a little over 10 km miles (17,000 kms) on syn oil that cleaned the dirty, but never clogged up. So i threw a little graphitee to close the deal. That was covered in anothe thread, without media dismantle, though. the oil wasn't that dirt, until the solid lube came in ...
And that was it, just showing how much dirty a paper medial can deal with without rupting/clogging.
Have seen a lot of dissected filters showing very boring clean filters. And if it doesn't look dirty it wasn't used up good

Ohh.... this is THAT experiment? The one where you were going to introduce a ton of contamination and see what happened?
Yes, but wasn't a ton, was the cleaning of a dirt engine (a little varnish/carbon from dino oil) and 20 grams of powdered graphite. Went to by passing only when the oil was cold, at 1st startup of the day, could hear a quick rattle. But, when warm was filtering really fine, since the container with the oil is several months sitting in the garage and the bottom is normal, a little very fine material carpet as usual.
What brand of oil filter were you running Pontual?
FRAM OCOD ... But they are better constructed here than in other places, I'm affraid. Not cardboard end cap, but metal and not nitrile ADBV, but silicone ADBV.

It's obvious you dipped the filter in the Brazilian mud before taking the pictures.
You can fool some of these guys but not the wise old man.

Thanks for the post. Fascinating stuff.
I think I see the graphite in the filter. Looks like it does the job.

Brazillian mud is made of hydrocarbons, plus carbon (grafite)?
Cardboard bench results:
spec of sludge (dust oxidized oil grafite
spec of dirt smashed and slided
Dark side of the media
Engine se dozens of 7k+rpm WOT, every day. SUBARU EJ is Pontual proof.
