Oil filter not dirty I have an 03 Civic LX and in early 2010, I got a remanned engine put in. I noticed after than whenever I would change the oil filter, the oil filter isn't dirty and when I take it off, no oil drips down.
I'm wondering if this is something I need to be concerned about. I don't want the oil to be bypassing the filter and my engine just taking a bath in dirty water so to speak. Help. I don't want to have to get a new engine again.

Re: Oil filter not dirty
Well, next time you change your oil, do a UOA.
