Are you sure a mechanic wouldn’t use a dented filter

doing an oil change? I hope that’s against the law or something. That would f up the engine!

A new filter is not supposed to be dented.

@ABCDEF7 I saw it came dented in a box on a Reddit post and everyone was telling the guy not to use the filter because it can leak oil and ruin a 5000 engine

@SW-User Yes, if it's damaged, it's similar to using no filter at all, which is not good for engine.

@ABCDEF7 yes but the mechanic needs to know that. I hope no mechanic ever makes that mistake
