Wow


Sweet cutting tool BTW

I'm not really surprised.

Use dyno oil and a high flow rate filter and change it every 1k until it is gone. Sooner if needed.

My rig is a 1998 with 245 K on the clock. I use conventional oil and change every 3000 miles. The oil is always black as night. Next time I change the oil, I'm going to cut open the filter just to see what it looks like. Hope it's nothing like the one in the video!

More than likely it won't be gunked up since conventional oil won't loosen sludge up like synthetic oil does.

So is that a good thing or a bad thing? If synthetic loosens up sludge and sends it into the filter, that seems like a plus.

Synthetic or not is not really an issue with sludge. It is really the detergents in the oil that do the cleaning.

What oil were you using?

Well, "todays" oil is better than that of 5-7 years ago but still will gunk up with the junk in the oils causing the oil to stay sticky. For what ever reason, this doesn't seem to happen with full synthetic oils.

I got it with 211K on it and at 213K started using AMSOIL but here lately i have been using Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 due to cost. i have a few videos on the tube of different filters and how they looked. i didnt really expect this one to be so bad but plan on changing the current one probably around the 1000 - 1500 mark. also might go to Pennzoil yellow bottle for my next oil change since i am not going over 3k per change.

what type filter do you recommend?

I like Wix filters, I can get the 51036 in the 12 pack for about $4.25 a pop shipped.
