I set out to change my oil this morning, and pulled the Mobil-1 filter from the closet of my home that I had stashed there for about a year.
Please see the rust at 9 and 11 o'clock. Is this thing safe to use? I cannot know if the rust there when I bought it, or it developed while in the linen closet behind the sheets for a year. The filter is stamped 011014, which I assume is Jan 10 '14, and it predates the purchase date by about a month.
I don't think I am going to stockpile any more filters, but what about this one?
