Other 911 owners have had issues with oil filters that are not oem. Beware of knock offs!

Mahle is no longer German made and we are seeing the results now I would like to think the major manufacturers would have QC in place when they move operations to other countries, maybe not. I'm going with this one in the future: https://www.napaonline.com/en/search?text=n...&referer=v2 Still can't believe I got a bad one that would not allow oil to enter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Seeing no oil at all in the filter would bug the crap out of me.
Even if the filter was screwed up internally, I would expect SOME oil in it... Not sure what the problem is but the "no oil at all" would "dead-line" that for me until I understood why. |

Not sure what the problem is but the "no oil at all" would "dead-line" that for me until I understood why. Me too, this was about an hour of run time on a brand new fresh build, think $$$. I hired the engine build as I have never done a /6 before. Many /4's and V8's and tractors Had about a tea spoon full. Looking back, I probably should have known better, being an old guy and I now see the amount of details to do this sort of build. I will get a pic tomorrow. It appears there is a valve that normally sits at the bottom of the filter, the failed unit has the valve at the top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I recall years and years ago something similar, but used a roll of toilet tissue. Cannot recall anything + or - with it and have not seen one since |
