Interesting idea. Surely would not have any rust inside if they were stored too long. Would think the media can take the oil soaking, after all, it is on the car for 6 months or so and under pressure when running. But I suspect the filter company would not advise storing filter filled.

I agree, I can see put a little oil on gasket and storage it, but not soak filter with oil before storage. I dint question him, because I was thinking " his car his problem " and I want keep the peace between neighbor , so I dint not tell him, his idea is dumb

Sounds like the neighbor hasn't been taken his mental medication.

Give us his address and we will tell him his neighbor said he is crazy. He won't know which neighbor however.

Perhaps he views his stash of filters like ammo, why store empty shells when you can "load them" and they are ready to throw on the engine. Maybe OCD but not crazy?

We just move here in the neighbor hood, so no drama hehe,I dont know " how soon he be using the oil filter", but that the first thing I see any body ever doing it.

Putting it in a zip lock bag can't be all that bad, keep any dust or junk from maybe falling into the open filter.

Keeping it full of oil sounds like a complete mess waiting to happen.

 

[cptbarkey]

does it really? why is it a problem? does the media break down over a 3 year period?

Sounds messy but probably not detrimental to the filter in any way. If he wants to store 'em full, why not? They're his filters.

Of all the kooky things neighbors do, this one is about #358,723,094,803,498 on the list to worry about.

that is what I say " his car his problem " I just say " ok cool " to stay in peace and move on with life.

and I also want is filter ever break down while soak in oil over time. I seen a car storage for 15 years, crank it up, drive around town, go home change the oil and filter, then cut the filter open and it look normal.

Wow ! This guy is nuts ! My neighbors think I'm crazy because I like to 'age' the distillled for two years before I use it for my radiator flush. This is important, don't you think? Lol ! FWIW--Oldtommy
