yes - you are damaging the oil filter to a point where it will need changing prematurely. Prepare to loose all of that $30 soon.

Carnage stuff, barely can look

Whatever chunked in yours doesn't seem to affect the running of the car. Clearly. Up to you if you want to sponsor a local shop for cleaning then by all means - pay!. Most here at the SH club couldn't care less and wait until the engine blows up man - shall it really happen engines/replacement are easy to find.

Its just a car, and they do just that; blow up eventually. In a meantime drive the thing and have fun. Red line and all bud
