Used oil filters cut open
A lot of filters look the same when we look at the outside. Some even look decent when we cut them open, but the real test is how they hold up in a few thousand miles of driving with hot contaminated oil flowing through them.
These filters were cut in our offices so that customers could see what they had in their cars.
