Another Ultra will be put on he says. The old one wasn't inspected though. In this case the filter is nothing more than the element and ADBV in a can, very little can go wrong. It makes no logical sense a constant tick can be from an oil filter brand, even if the ADBV is defective or absent. Doubt was cast, then all quiet. The truth of it is still unknown, doubt being cast or not, the way I see it.
