1st Oil change & a surprise (NO ANTI DRAIN BACK VALVE in factory filter)
I've got 3988 KM (53hr ) on the Pumpkin, so I thought I'd do the 1st oil change. I used the CTC formula 1 0W20 oil & AC Delco PF2057 oil filter ( I bought a case of them from Rock Auto with the discount from the Rock Auto guy on here,, Thanks.) After I was done, I thought I'd cut the old filter open to see what was in it. To my surprise, the OEM filter had no steel end plates, & NO ANTI DRAIN BACK VALVE See the pic for what the inside of this filter looks like. I'm going to buy one from the dealer to see if the service filter is different from the OEM. @ least the Delco filter I used has steel end caps & an Anti drain back valve... Thoughts???
