Take a look at this old oil filter...
Folks..ive never seen such a thing.In the process of replacing the old oil filter, it came apart in pieces, almost felt like an old squishy pumpkin..I wonder how much this car went without a proper oil and filter change...

This was a common site on E46fanatics. Some owners go to Iffy Lube for oil changes, the filters are not stocked so they do a drain refill. Idiots working there don't give a crap!
Said it before and I'll say it again......A used vehicle is no better then the worst tech who has ever worked on it.

I would ziplock bag that filter and drop it on the service managers desk at the dealership. See how he responds.

Personally, I ONLY buy filters from the dealer. This ensures the freshest, latest revision filter.

they are still revising filters for our no longer manufactured engines?
If so, maybe this is the latest revision?
