Oil level relative to filter

How do you differentiate between the metal debris created during your “man invents tool” experiment, and the stuff you are actually looking for?

Oh, a wood chisel (even this old one) is pretty darned sharp---it cuts about like a can opener, albeit leaving an edge that's a bit jagged. No debris created in the process.

I love creativity and ingenuity in action…….. Good job!

IMO just use the stock filter....

A good set of sheet metal shears work just fine and don't leave any metal filings...it will leave a sharp edge . I have a one that cuts straight and one that cuts in a circle, I even cut paper with them. Great investment to keep in your toolbox.
