OK, so there's been a lot of discussion lately regarding changing the oil, type of oil/filter, and frequency of change, so I figured I would crack open my oil filter to see what it's captured. I've got way too much time on my hand and I do have a taste for sardines after the way I peeled open the filter
.
Specifics - just turned 10,000 miles on my 2005 SRT - 3rd oil change. About 3500 miles on Mobil 1 0-40 oil, Mopar Viper 5037836 AA filter, normal driving including 2 autocrosses, 1300 mile distance trip, and 1 or 2 high speed spirited runs (on a closed private track of course
.) Significant mods - K&N filters, single blade throttle body, DC Perf reflash, 170 thermostat (oil and coolant temp rarely exceed 180), mopar street exhaust with 1 cat removed.
Not sure if I was expecting more stuff or less - so I'll let all of you experts (hopefully Tom will chime in) tell me what you think. Nothing really that significant, but the pics do show what I would term 200 grit pebbles captured by the filter.
