To me it also looked clogged up a bit.
It took a lot of work to tear the media away to even rip that sample... like, pry with a screwdriver and pull hard. Certainly did t tear easily.

Ive taken apart other filters, much less time in oil, and certainly they’re no different.

I have every confidence in that filter, despite the age.
