Pl10241 classic C&P

[mpack88]

This filter is off a engine that cracked its head 6 years ago. It's been sitting on the stand since. In response to a red purolator with torn media, I decided to cut this older one to see if it's made any different. Doesn't seem to be but its rough. Engine was a 86 chrysler 2.2L turbo. Mobil 1 10w30. Enjoy.

Eek!
Coolant or water in the oil?

 

[mpack88]

Little of both.

Wow that's a nasty filter thanks for the C&P.

Your welcome. I will say after 6 years. The anti drain back valve did hold oil. LOL it was thicker than snot I'm sure that helped.

Good news is the oil did not go through that tear since it was in bypass ...·

Never seen it look like chocolate syrup before

Just goes to show that even a full synthetic will sludge up if conditions are right.

Cracked head
Mixed with coolant
Equals chocolate pudding
And whatever 6 years of other junk

Not the oils fault

Third pic looks like a large tear.

They come with a tear from the factory now. High flow.

LOL yes of course, bypass is much better than going through a media tear

 

[mpack88]

Oh no, I wasnt blaming the oil. Was just stating that with the correct conditions that even synthetic would sludge. It has been said that synthetic dont sludge, well this proved it wrong. That's actually not a tear in the third pic. Just more sludge oil.
