Another Good Samaritan!

BITOG member robo339 PM'ed a few weeks ago about wanting to donate some oil filters. Well, they arrived today!
I want to thank robo339 for being so kind to donate these oil filters to help out the less fortunate. Robo339, may God Bless you and your family as well!

BTW, there is one that has a few dings in it. I was thinking about cutting it open and posting. Opinions?

Neat, never seen a Purple filter that wasn't Royal Purple.

Glad to have great members willing to help out. Top notch job robo339

How bad is the dent

 

[mattwithcats]

Use the dented one on a lawn tractor,
if the dents not too bad,
and it fits...

If there are only small dings, put it on and let it work. Small dings should have no effect on the oil moving through the filter. Some less fortunate person will appreciate a new and slightly dinged filter. Thank you for looking out for their oil changes.

Nice!

Blueovalfitter, are there certain filters that you need? How about a list of what is useful, in case some of us run across filters we can't use but are on sale. What models of car, or filter numbers do you need?

x2....dont be shy now

I have decided to use the filter. If it had been in the dome I think I would have probably scrapped it.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

That looks like more than your everyday oil filter ding. I would pass on that myself.

For his purpose I would use it, nothing major with the filter.

 

[robo339]

+1.
Some of the cars we do OCI's on, the OCI itself is the best thing on the car. But, you also must remember, these people, which are near and dear to me, are very fortunate to even own a vehicle. And, I will always do my best to see that they are taken care of. If I thought for 1 second that this filter would hurt their engine in any way, I would scrap it in a heart beat!
I told robo339 that I was very surprised how this filter got damaged. He had the inside of the package cushioned with air pillows around the filters. It shows you just how rough a package can be treated during shipping! SMH!

Lol I had a stainless steel meat grinder shipped to me recently where they broke the stainless shielding that covers the electric motor and the entire bottom was shattered out then the ups guy dropped it again while setting it in the middle of my half mile long driveway need less to say they busted up 500 $ and told me basically he didn't care and file a claim on it
