Picked up a couple of oem Honda (A02 Frams...) oil filters the other day... when I went to install one, I discovered one had a "rattle...".
I always give any new filter a quick upside down shake, in case there is anything inside the filter, but I don't recall any previous filters rattling. Had a few dented ones, which were returned...
What would cause a rattle... the wing spring or coil spring should keep everything tight, you would think...
I chose not to use it, thinking maybe the by-pass was dislodged or the spring failed...? Put a Fram Ultra on... no rattles.
