Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, just kidding... With so many posts of "bad news" I thought I'd post a positive thread. I actually meant to post this since changing the oil around Thanksgiving in preparation to put the car away for the winter. I cut the oil filter apart to check for "metal particles". And then move a crazy strong magnet throughout the filter to see if picked anything up... At first, it picked up a metal flake or two... but then I realized it had yellow paint on them.... whew! It was actually from the yellow hacksaw that I used to cut the filter. I simply didn't have a large enough pair of scissors to cut it with. Overall, it seems that the filter is pretty clean. Even when I zoom in on it, I don't really see any foreign objects. So that's good news! Everything about it seems normal enough?
