  1. got a super dumb question for ya: got oil filter shipped to me and one of the crown/crimp/roundy points around the top was slightly dented so that it goes inward instead of round/outward, and paint was slightly dulled there as if rubbing on packaging, as is slight paint /lettering off on top as if rubbing/vibration in shipping or whatnot. I could see the paint was cracked at that dent so i picked at it by finger nail and chipped some paint off, but see no crack. But filter mfr's strongly urge ppl to toss any dented filters and i wonder if u agree, i assume u do? Back in the day i wouldnt have worried much about this, but now that cars are hard to come by, i am not wanting to make catastrophic mistakes w/ my car engine! But anyway this filter is kinda small seemingly, for a 3.5l honda engine, and bcuz those grip/crown points are round and thus a strong shape, the fact that it was dented enough to make it go 'round' the other way, the wrong direction, means it really flexed, and that maybe is a lot of stress, so i will not use it, unless u say otherwise. Filter mfr's say that the problem w/ dents is that it's hard to estimate when they might fail due to the normal pulsating aspect of the flowing oil, which pulsates due to theh oil pump pulsing factor/nature/system. It was a very beefy top dog model filter by Purolator, so i thought maybe i could get away w/ the tiny dent which i barely saw at first, even thought maybe it was intentionally designed that way but of course not.
