Oil filter Question
curious as to what you think of this Filter at 18% life usage.
I'm suprised to see the pleets bent as they are.
thanks.

BTW The filter is not crushed, the internal plastic is not deformed.

They probably bent at install-time. If you don't have it fully snapped onto the barb in the lid, and you crank down the cap, the pleats are going to distort. I wouldn't worry about it. You still had approximately the same surface area to filter the oil.
