Tried my $40 eBay filter cutter on this $2.84 ST3600. Cutter works well, filter looks good for $3

is that a tear in the pleat in the left side below the seam?
Media is a little wavy, but not too bad. I would (and probably will) use one for a regular drain interval.
OT, but which cutter did you get? I just can't seem to make myself spend $35-50 on a cutter, even though I have probably spent almost that much on cutting disks for the dremel over the years.
Definitely NOT a tear, but stains from some kind of oil in the process. I poked them and they are solid.
cutter: $45 I too was hesitant but I need all my digits in tact for work. Ill try to upload an image of it.

Nice low cost oil filter.

That's what I thought, but could not quite tell from the pic.
Maybe Santa will bring me a filter cutter...

As with other new ST anecdotes posted, for ~$2.85 looks to be a very serviceable filter. For a ~5k mile conventional oil oci, I'd have no problem using one. Same as the popular ST9688 and 3614, this one also uses a separate dome bypass.
Filter cutter looks to be identical to the one sold at Summit and Jegs. I own the Summit and biggest complaint is with ~3" or less diameter filters, filter base seam area hits the cross bar, not guide wheels. But it still works just not smoothly.
Thanks for c&p.
