toyota 90915-yzzf2 cut open unknown miles

[Brybo86]

Came off a neighbors new/used car, 2000ish corolla? 175k on engine, unknown miles on filter.

soft adbv

Dirty bypass valve

Dirt in can

Media was very brittle compared to my Fram ultra I cut open last week.
Lots of dirt in media...

While not pretty inside I would have to say this filter did a darn good job.

I told my neighbor to check the air filter ASAP
There was also about an 1/8 inch of gunk caked under the oil fill cap

Wow, lots of caked on junk in there.

 

[simple_gifts]

Wow.

+1 on checking the AF; I would also check for downstream cracks in the intake if the AF looks snug.

A UOA would have been interesting to say the least.

Currently having an MI.

Chunky monkey. Decent oil filter......With a very tough job! I wonder if that is from 50k miles, or if the intake is essentially running open?

Or.....Some other unknown contamination?

 

[Stewie]

Neglected engine.

Got to be unfiltered air getting in somewhere.

 

[BikeWhisperer]

Well at least the filter trapped (some of) it. But with the media caked, how much was it going into bypass.

 

[bullwinkle]

That's nasty, looks like carbon-and a LOT of it! I would run 1K OCIs, preferably with an HDEO (10W30 like T5 would be good), & keep changing it until it cleans it up.

 

[friendly_jacek]

what air filter has to do with this? this looks like carbon/sludge from running too long OCI. this engine is hard on oil under the normal circumstances, and this is clearly a neglect.

 

[Stewie]

It seems that you had a hard time removing the oil filter as it is all whacked up.

 

[SumpChump]

And still going at 175k. Man, what an engine.

I didn't take it off.
I saw my neighbor working at it for about 20 mins then he came over with a strap wrench in his hand and asked if I had anything that I think would work.

I handed him my craftsman universal oil filter wrench, he got it off in about 30 seconds.

 

[KCJeep]

Wow lotta junk, held up well but I agree with the others that ride has been neglected for sure.

 

[Noobie]

Of course its going to look bad compared to your Fram Ultra, its regular paper media.

Nice I got a similar one, I hope that it will work on my OEM filter which is pretty similar to that one.

The wrench that looks like a cup works on Frams but just spins around the oem one.

New one:

Old one:

stewie your new filter wrench is much better since it will tighten as you turn it.

 

[CELICA_XX]

That 3-prong Craftsman is the best filter wrench on the planet.

It provides an even rotational force and the harder you turn the filter, the harder it grips.

I hope so

I would think a couple of very short oci's would be in order.
